But are we really under the “rule of Chinese totalitarianism” by allowing them to technically own a few small GA airports in the bush? Don’t forget all those regional ports run by flying schools are operated and controlled on a day to day basis by Australians and Westerners. From what I’ve heard they don’t disallow permission from third party operators to land there, and provide a valuable assistance for operators like the RFDS.
I doubt whether a Chinese communist party official has ever set foot on the grounds of any of the airfields except maybe once at the opening ceremony? They aren’t going to be used for a back door invasion of the country, nor a way to flood the country with cheap goods or migrants.
