NEWTON: Chinese investors have put in one of the biggest beef orders ever. A group called the Dakang Australia is buying a cattle ranch that is bigger than Ireland. This isn't actually one giant ranch. We're talking about several across Australia that belong to the Kidman Beef Company. Together they come up to more than 77,000 square kilometers. That's bigger than the entire land mass of Ireland. The Australian government actually blocked the deal last year. It said one of the ranches was too close to a weapons testing site. So Dakang will have to settle for an Irish-size one instead. And that's QUEST MEANS BUSINESS, I'm Paula Newton and I'll see you right back here again tomorrow. END
