Note that China has a "Negative List of Market Access Restricted: Sector-wise items" which is known as CCP's protectionist list.
CCP is a hypocrite when it has higher protectionist policies while complaining about Australia's reciprocal protectionist policies e.g. Australian entities can't buy land nor invest in certain sectors such as farming and mining in China, hence a no-brainer when countries imposed reciprocal investment restrictions.

@atomduke7789
Your assumptions are wrong. Australia's place in any conflict between the US and China is enforcing Australia's freedom of navigation and keeping its shipping lanes open to support its northern allies.
Refer to Australia-Japan "Defence Supplies and Services" agreement.
Agreement between the Government of Australia and the Government of Japan concerning Reciprocal Provision of Supplies and Services between the Australian Defence Force and the Self-Defense Forces of Japan - Sydney, 14 January 2017
Obligations
3.14 The provision of any supplies and services under the proposed Agreement must be carried out in accordance with the Parties’ respective national laws and obligations.
3.15 Article I provides that the reciprocal provision of logistic supplies and services under the proposed Agreement will occur for the purposes of:
exercises and training with participation by both the ADF and the JSDF;
United Nations peacekeeping operations, internationally coordinated peacekeeping and security operations, and humanitarian international relief operations;
operations in response to large scale disasters in Australia, Japan or a third country;
emergency evacuation of Australian or Japanese nationals, or others from third countries;
communication and coordination or other routine activities including visits of ships or aircraft of the ADF or the JSDF;and for other cooperative efforts as mutually determined and permitted under the laws and regulations of the respective Parties (including for unforeseen circumstances or exigencies).
3.16 The inclusion of ‘internationally coordinated peacekeeping and security operations’ as well as enabling the provision of logistic supplies and services for other cooperatively efforts as mutually determined is an expansion of the 2013 Agreement.
3.17 The supplies and services that may be provided under the Agreement are listed in Tabled 3.1 below.
3.18 For the provision of supplies, where possible, the receiving Party must return the supplies in a condition and manner satisfactory to the providing Party. Where supplies cannot be returned in a satisfactory condition or are consumable, the receiving Party must give the providing Party supplies of the same type, quality and quantity. Where neither option is possible, the receiving Party must reimburse the providing Party.
3.19 For the provision of services, the receiving Party may either reimburse the providing Party or provide services of the same type and equivalent value.
3.20 The provision of supplies and services must be carried out in accordance with the Procedural Arrangement as agreed between the Australian Department of Defence and the Japanese Ministry of Defence (Article V). The NIA explains that a new Procedural Arrangement has been concluded however is a less-than-treaty status document. Consequently, the Committee will not have an opportunity to review this supporting document.
3.21 Similarly, disputes between the Australia and Japan must be settled in accordance with the Procedural Arrangement, or otherwise through consultation.24
Reasons for implementing proposed treaty action
3.22 As noted above, the proposal to replace the 2013 Agreement was initiated by Japan, which sought to broaden that Agreement to achieve congruence with defence reforms passed by the National Diet in September 2015.
3.23 The NIA states that the expanded scope of the proposed Agreement:
aligns with Australia’s other military logistic support agreements and arrangements and offers Australia the opportunity to further enhance the quality of, and potential for, defence cooperation with Japan, and to broaden the interoperability between the two forces.
3.24 It further asserts that the proposed Agreement is ‘uncontroversial’ and ‘builds on Australia’s existing relationship with Japan in relation to defence matters, and raises no international defence policy issues’.
3.25 If the proposed Agreement were not ratified, Australia’s military logistic relationship with Japan would be out of step with those that Japan has with the United States and the United Kingdom.

1. It's well known China has attempted to encircle Australia via the second Island chain. China has no business in Australia's Oceania backyard.
2. It's well known China's navy ships has surveyed the East Philippines Sea that is a backup route when South China China / West Philippines Sea is blocked by China.

@richardong1421 Against "By your statement that Australia NOT needed for ASEAN plus six, this shows that you are at odds with your geography. It also not a surprising that Australia is much more isolated against Asia now"
That's FALSE. Australia's trade diversification from China is with CPTPP members (including Vietnam, an ASEAN member), India, Thailand (ASEAN member), South Korea, Japan, and Taiwan. Australia increased trade with the Philippines, an ASEAN member.
China's large-scale dam building has caused drought in Indochina downstream countries and northern India i.e. China indirectly created extra demand for Australia's food exports. LOL
The 2nd "The Quad" = Australia, India, Japan, and Vietnam group.
The 1st "The Quad" = Australia, India, Japan, and USA group.
