My take on the Chinese developing Daru as a "fishing port" is because it is yet another way China can intimidate Australia.

It is clear that the Chinese Fascist Party has chosen to use Australia as an example of what it will do to any other independent country which dares to oppose the global ambitions that China has for world domination. China is using the tactics that Hannibal used to defy the Roman Empire. If China can't directly take the USA on at the moment because the USA is just too strong, then do a Hannibal and attack the US's allies. Australia as a strong US ally then becomes very attractive as a target.

The funniest thing about this whole sad affair is that the Chinese Fascist Party seems completely unaware of how it's bullying actions are being seen around the world. Free nations everywhere are supporting Australia because we are the bird in the mineshaft and every other free nation on earth knows that if China succeeds in bullying Australia into political submission, they are next.

The idiots running China right now also seem unaware that business is based upon trust. If they break free trade agreements with a trading partner, causing economic distress to independent suppliers of goods and services, nobody in their right mind is going to want to do business with China, regardless of what the initial financial inducements may be.

Lastly, it seems strange that so many people are upset about the loss of our $14 billion coal trade to China, saying how bad this is for our economy. But $14 billion dollars is exactly what Australia throws away in aid every year to PNG who's corrupt politicians just sold Australia down the river. End all Australian financial aid to PNG until they reverse this "fishing rights to China "decision.

The Chinese Trojan Horse so long ago entered Australia, its remnants lay in a rotting heap of Chinese owned port facilities, control of the Victorian Government, outright ownership of our best farming lands, and a huge swathe of prime Australian real estate.

Should it even be mentioned, in addition, the suspect politicians past and present, utilising their position of power to engage in back hander deals with China, to feather their own nest.

We increasingly live in a world where nothing can be taken at face value, and the trust factor evaporates at lightening speed, the further up the cherry tree the ladder reaches.

We have nothing to worry about now, since Trump was replaced by an escapee from the dementia ward of the local nursing home.

This fact no doubt, facilitates the speedy end to any serious opposition from the US against Chinese intrusion into Asia, which of course includes Australia.

Australia is currently ripe for the picking; how long China put off the picking process only remains to be seen.

diver dan,
Yep ! I recall being ridiculed for telling people that when the Goaf & Co provided PNG with self Govt plus $1.2 million/day ever since.
I recall Pauline Hanson being crucified by the Lefties & I suppose I'll be ridiculed by these 'educated' morons for years to come when I tell them how they're ruining Australia !

With friends like PNG, who needs enemies! Perhaps they will be asked to refund all the aid money they have had from us. Nah. Our spineless government will not say boo. And why would they when they have sold off so much off Australia to China.

And, no commercial fishing grounds close to this new Chinese threat. Do we actually have any form of intelligence agency that should have known about this appearance of a deadly enemy 2OO kilometres from our coast? Do we have any form of intelligence at all in Australia? There certainly is none in Canberra. When even an old lefty like Warren Entsch is concerned, it has to be regarded as a serious matter.

It's time Morrison and his fellow halfwits put the country on a war footing with China.

The new world will commence with Chinas Asia opposing Americas Europe.

There will be no help from there for Australia, only good wishes and farewells as our boat is kicked off from the wharf.
