Federal Treasurer Josh Frydenberg is stepping in to stop a Chinese company from buying Australia’s biggest gas pipeline provider.

CK Infrastructure has been told its $13-billion bid for APA Group isn’t in the national interest.

Energy Economics analyst Bruce Robertson tells Ross Greenwood there’s a clear reason to block the deal.

“The other player in the market is also owned by China. That would mean that if [CK Instrastructure] took over APA Group, you would see the Chinese government dominate gas transmission in Australia.”
