Protest Calls for China’s Belt and Road Agreement With Victorian Labor Govt to Be Cancelled

|Updated:

Groups gathered outside Victoria’s State Library in Melbourne on Nov. 21 to protest the Labor government’s secretive move to join China’s flagship economic investment project, the Belt and Road initiative (BRI).

Protesters held banners and signs calling out what they say is the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP’s) underhanded economic and trade tactics that could potentially compromise Australia’s economic and political independence.
