China in 'protectionist' battle for Australian power network

China's State Grid corporation and Cheung Kong Infrastructure of Hong Kong are after a controlling stake.
The Australian government blocked the deal in a preliminary decision last week, citing national security.
But as Phil Mercer reports from Sydney, protectionist politics may be at play.
