That has led to some soul-searching about the role of Chinese money in the country's political and economic life. Businesses linked to China have become sizable donors to Australian political parties, and a company said to have links to the Chinese military obtained a 99-year lease last year for a port next to a base that often houses United States Marines.

Shell CEO To Be Replaced By Renewables Boss

British energy giant Shell announced Thursday that CEO Ben van Beurden will step down at the end of 2022 and that his successor will be the company's renewables director.
FT reported preparations for van Beurden's departure began last May when Scottish businessman and former CEO of BHP Billiton Sir Andrew Mackenzie became Shell's chair.
Two unnamed sources told Reuters that Shell's board succession committee met several times this summer about Beurden's departure and potential successors.
They picked Wael Sawan, Shell's director of integrated gas, renewables, and energy solutions, to lead the company on Jan. 1.

Now, the dual Lebanese-Canadian national, Sawan, will accelerate Shell's strategy to become a net-zero company by 2050. Shell is expected to continue generating cash from its legacy oil business but invest heavily "over time" into gas, chemicals, renewables, and selling power.
Biraj Borkhataria, head of oil and gas equity research at RBC Capital Markets, said Sawan was "respected" by the investors.
"The shift is likely to be more of a continuation than revolution of the strategy put in place by van Beurden," Borkhataria said.
The news of the company's renewables chief to lead the oil giant may be optically pleasing for green investors. However, the oil giant has been accused of corporate "greenwashing" and marketing itself as climate-friendly more than it is…
