The Parliamentary Joint Committee on Intelligence and Security's proposed inquiry into foreign interference in universities is an opportunity to uncover the methods China employs to finance its foreign interference operations in Australia.
As with the financing of terrorism, the methods employed are likely to be complex and layered; financing covert operations involves more than just handing over a suitcase full of cash.

The Joint Committee on Intelligence and Security inquiry is chaired by Andrew Hastie, a former SAS captain. Hastie needs to understand financing as he would no doubt understand supply lines.
