WSJ story: Vice Premier and future premier Li Keqiang in Beijing says the China-Australia needs to move beyond stuff to shared efforts at R&D. Article also says China eyeing developed countries as they need infrastructure and China has built up tremendous resources on that score.
But all this push scares as well: FT story on Indonesian private equity firm head decrying growing Chinese investment (China had just agreed to fund about $4b in infrastructure there):
