China’s ambassador warns Albanese reclaiming Port of Darwin will force Beijing to intervene

China's ambassador to Australia, Xiao Qian, warned that the Australian government's plans to force the Chinese company Landbridge to sell its 99-year lease on the Port of Darwin could jeopardize future trade growth and prompt intervention from Beijing. The statement follows the Albanese government's consideration of reversing the lease due to national security concerns raised by both the Labor and Coalition parties before the election. Landbridge, a Chinese-owned company, acquired the lease for the port in Darwin, Australia. The ambassador's comments highlight the potential diplomatic and economic ramifications of Australia's policy shift regarding the port's ownership.
