> CHINA has pleaded with Australia to be ‘rational' after the country passed new laws curbing Chinese influence from Belt and Road initiatives, further fraying ties.

> With the new legislation, Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison is now able to scrap agreements between local authorities and foreign states.

> The bill was passed yesterday, and experts have suggested Chinese Belt and Road Initiatives are first to be scrapped.

> In 2018, Victoria’s state Government signed on to Beijing’s infrastructure programme, which allows China to build trade routes with members of the initiative.

> China-skeptic Australian MPs have warned the investment could be used by Beijing to transport its military and build influence in foreign nations.
