Why does Dan Andrews need ACBRI and Jean Dong when he has the services of Commissioner for Victoria in China Tim Dillon ?

                                                        Meet the Commissioner for Victoria to China – Tim DillonIn this video, Tim explains                                                            some of what’s needed to build successful business relationships, and why he loves living                                                           and working in China.,

In defending the Victorian Government's work with the Australia-China Belt and Road Initiative Premier Dan Andrews has said:

“The agreement is about creating opportunities for Victorian businesses and creating more local jobs — and we’re proud to work with the Australia-China Belt and Road Initiative.”

Why the services of the ACBRI, founded and led by Jean Dong, were required is unclear, given that the Victorian Government  has had an office in Shanghai doing very much the same thing. In the Vic Government's own words: 

Appointed as the Commissioner for Victoria in China in September 2014, Tim Dillon is based in Shanghai and heads up the Victorian Government Trade and Investment (VGTI) network in China, helping Victorian businesses to connect with Chinese markets.

Tim brings significant experience to his position, having previously served as the Commissioner for Victoria in South East Asia (2009-2014) and as the Executive Director of the Tokyo office (2004-2009).
