BEIJING: A Chinese billionaire barred from Australia on suspicions he is part of a Communist Party influence campaign has lashed out at Canberra, calling it a "giant baby" that hasn't found its place in international politics. "The growth of a giant baby takes time, and Australia still has a long way to go. The property tycoon led one of a series of "reunification councils" that advocate support of Chinese Communist Party policies. China experts and former Australian intelligence officials say the groups take direction from the Chinese Communist Party's United Front Work Department. "Apart from me, all those in the family are Australian citizens ... Australia is their home."
