Is Lu Kewen friend Beijing AustChina ultimately a Chinese state-owned corporation?

Much has been made of Ian Tang, the person who at the very least manages Beijing AustChina.
As to who precisely owns the company and who finances this big donor to political parties in Australia (often the Australian Labor Party), and financier of up and coming politicians , including one Lu Kewen , now prime minister of Australia , has been difficult to determine.
Often in such cases where financial linkages are difficult to determine, indirect means of establishing linkages are necessary. One method is to trace the ownership and registration of websites. An investigation of the Beijing AustChina website reveals its website bact.com.cn to be administered by tom.xu@ltt.com.cn.
Ltt.com.cn is the website of the LTT Textiles Co., Ltd.
The company's address:
310 North Zhongshan Road , Hangzhou , China ,310003;matches that of the Zhejiang Metals and Minerals Exp&Imp Corp (http://www.zjmtd.com.cn/contact.htm)



LTT Textiles phone number: 86 - 571 - 85775641
matches one that has been provided for the ZheJiang metals & minerals Imp. & Exp. Dept. -see http://worlddirectory.indiaetrade.com/Sellers/z/Z1.html .
See also http://lacob2btrade.org/LAOSB/NewCompanyProfile.aspx?mfgcode=50092173&sInfo=Zhejiang+Metals+&+Minerals+Imp.+&+Exp.+Corporation

The ZheJiang metals & minerals Imp. & Exp. Dept. has the same address as the Zhejiang Metals and Minerals Exp&Imp Corp

Despite its name, the company produces and sells textiles also.It is a state-owned enterprise (http://www.agriculture-of-china.com.cn/html/1.html)
It appears then that Ian Tang and Bejing AustChina may well be merely conduits for the transfer of funds to chosen politicians and political parties, as well as for the transfer of technology from this region into China.

    The Above firms share the same address. Are all these firms China's State Owned?

    One more concerns is that Ian Tang might asked one of his friends of friends of friends who worked in LTT.com.cn to register a domain for him.

AG NSW Mark Speakman, two Sydney University appointments by former USYD General Counsel Richard Fisher, the NSW LPAB, and Sydney Water- Speakman has even more election funding questions to answer as he defends his NSW seat of Cronulla

by Ganesh Sahathevan        NSW AG Mark Speakman defending his Cronulla seat In 2013 the then NSW Minister for Finance Greg Pearce was sacked by the then  NSW Premier Barry O'Farrell for not disclosing a conflict of interest when he appointed the former  Sydney University General Counsel Richard Fisher to the board of Sydney Water.  Fairfax Media reported the details:  Fairfax Media has been told the lawyer Richard Fisher ''picked up the tab'' for the party to celebrate Mr Pearce's marriage to Shauna Jarrett, which was held a year before the Coalition took power in NSW and Mr Pearce became minister for finance and services. It has emerged that Ms Jarrett reports to Mr Fisher at the University of Sydney, where he is the general counsel. This was not disclosed to cabinet before it endorsed Mr Fisher's appointment in what Mr O'Farrell described as a ''clear breach'' of the ministerial code of conduct. Mr O'Farrell said he dismissed Mr Pe...

Sydney is not Soweto, its Asian migrants are not coloureds, or persons of colour - South African Australian Judge Angus Morkel Stewart's decision in Faruqi v Hanson an insult to anyone who is not white

Image
 by Ganesh Sahathevan  In the recent Federal Court Australia decision in   Faruqi v Hanson   Mr Justice Angus Morkel Stewart (Stewart J)  found at [242]: I am comfortably satisfied that both groups of people in Australia that I have identified, being persons of colour who are migrants or of relatively recent migrant heritage and persons of colour who are Muslim, are reasonably likely, in all the circumstances, to have been offended (ie profoundly and seriously), insulted, humiliated and intimidated by Senator (Pauline ) Hanson’s tweet. The case concerned   a tweet  that One Nation leader Pauline Hanson directed at  Deputy Greens leader Senator  Mehreen Faruqi. Mehreen is Pakistani Muslim who continues to advocate for Pakistan as a senator of the Senate, Parliament Of Australia.  Senator Hanson wrote in her tweet "piss off back to Pakistan" after Senator Faruqi commented on the death of Queen Elizabeth II. While Stewart J's has hand...

Government funding for the College Of Law PLT where students are assessed on the quality of their reflection on their work experience , not the quality of their work experience

Image
 by Ganesh Sahathevan  The above has been extracted from the latest College Of Law Ltd's annual report.  The substantial government funding is provided via the Commonwealth's FEE HELP facility.  The Practical Legal Training (PLT)  which the College runs, and which is a prerequisite for admission to practise  in NSW, has the imprimatur  of the Chief Justice NSW, Tom Bathurst, in his capacity as Chairman of the the NSW Legal Profession Admission Board.  College Academic Director Lewis Patrick has said that in assessing the work experience component of the PLT  "  the College is not assessing the quality of (the student's) work experience, but rather the quality of (the student's)  reflections  on that experience . The College's PLT course is now mostly on-line, and there are problems with delivery and infrastructure. Its FEE HELP cashflow is being utilised to finance its expansion overseas.
