But from what I understand, there's a whole bunch of purpose built ports around Australia for exporting minerals. I think the Chinese buy a mine, build a railroad to the closest harbour and then stick a porting facility there. That way they bypass the need to build massive rail/road infrastructure to our usual ports and have a whole system within a system going on.
I have no idea if Australian customs are present at those ports to control what's coming in and out, but given they can't even control what's coming in and out of Sydney and Melbourne I'm guessing they don't even bother with these little ones. For all we know we could have half the Chinese army sitting in the desert.
