China’s strategic goals in the Pacific are emerging and Australia must be concerned, or alarmed! : Comments

By Jeffrey Wall, published 1/6/2021

If a country that signed up to a loan cannot repay, then China takes over the facility. That has already happened with a major port in Sri Lanka which the government defaulted on.

Australian politicians don't seem to be "concerned" or "alarmed" by anything, including the Chinese Communist threat. But, equally disinterested Australians still keep voting them in.

Einstein observed, ‘Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I’m not sure about the former.’

Goes without saying the Morrison Coalition (with its well developed policies on China) will win the late 2021/or 2022 Federal Election.

Meanwhile Albo's and Shorten's main concern is competing for the Labor Leadership. Hence their China policies are identical "bipartisan" to Morrison's.

OK. If you want to borrow money and put up this or that collateral? And then find you're significantly overleveraged? Then you need to suffer the consequences, regardless of who you borrow from.

No use bitching about spilt milk but get back in the game and work towards righting perceived wrongs! And if you are sold down the river of no return by over-ambitious greedy, power-hungry leaders, then don't compound your own stubborn stupidity by reelecting self-serving mongrels! Sorry for your loss!

Make sure you have everything in writing and legally enforceable! And then honour any agreements you make! Don't be afraid to seek wise counsel before you enter into any one of these dubious loans arrangements! All documents need to be forensically examined by legal experts! With all that done? Make your decisions or not!

Sometimes the best thing to sell something worthwhile, i.e., very valuable ideas! And a partnership that keeps on giving, the best of these arrangements!

The Labor-Green Socialist Alliance with Communist China has been betraying & backstabbing Australian workers for decades.

The Labor Lite Liberal-National coalition is not much better.

No. I say cut all funding, and offer them loans instead just as PRC does.

Who's money is this?
Australian Taxpayers

You want Aussie Taxpayers to give them free money while they have others loan and build their infrastructure.
How much of Aussie Taxpayers dollars will go to paying back Chinese loans?

So I say No, CUT ALL FUNDING.
- If they want loans let them have loans, but no more freebies.
