Despite the Morrison Government seeming to back the U.S. over China, Beijing's growing influence in Australia remains unchecked.

An interesting, non-PC summation at MacroBusiness:

"The Morrison Government has stacked key China positions with relative hawks and its has come down on the US side of the trade war, more or less. These are encouraging practical and rhetorical commitments.

But what the Morrison Government has also done is double and triple down on an economic model that does the complete opposite. The outright focus on commodities and housing as the twin pillars of the Australian economy drives Australian economic interest ever deeper into the Chinese sphere of influence. Dirt speaks for itself and we can see its influence in WA’s virtual CCP puppet government. Housing is more subtle but even more dangerous given its impact of household wealth:

- it relies entirely upon ongoing population growth driven by mass immigration;
- that has a large mainland Chinese component;
- we can already see how that plays out with Gladys Liu, who currently holds the Government’s majority in her hand, linking it to Beijing;
- Beijing puts a lot of effort into corrupting ethnic Chinese electorates and their candidates;
- there are already effectively two Chinese federal electorates. What happens when it becomes four or eight? The result won’t be all one way. The Chinese electorates are not ciphers of Beijing. As Bill Shorten discovered when his egregious parental visa bribe lost him both electorates. But, through no fault of their own, they are vulnerable to Beijing’s bribes and cajoling. The risk is clear that if the migration continues then no political party hostile to CCP intentions will get elected in Australia.

The CCP friendly government of Manchurian Dan in Victoria is an example of where this leads federally in the long run.

.. unless and until Morrison cuts the flow of mainland Chinese migration into Australia, preventing further expansion of CCP ballot box power in whatever form that takes, he is implicitly choosing Beijing over Washington in the long run, no matter how much he kisses the Trump derriere."

Dear FrankU,

It's all too late. Australia has a Chinese future. People just have to like it or lump it. Sorry about the reality check but that's what the politicians, bureaucrats and business community have been doing to the country over the past 30 years.

Are you from Sydney? If not then pay a visit, it's absolutely amazing: every second person in Sydney is Chinese.

The Chinese influence in Australia is hardly 'News and current affairs'. What we need is something done about; but nothing will be done about it when we have a 'leader' like Scott Morrison.

Morrison was described very aptly recently by Paul Collits:

"Morrison is a do-nothing, waste of political space, not remotely inclined to address the deepest fears and policy desires of those now famous “silent Australians” who voted for the man. But, more than this, Morrison raised hopes only to disappoint. He is a conservative PRETENDER who will stand idly by while the long ideological march continues apace. He will offer crumbs, not red meat".

Morrison has only "electoral smarts, ersatz chuminess and factional cleverness" going for him: attributes which are as much use to Australia as tits on a bull in the face of the China threat, and just about every other threat facing the country.

With Morrison as accidental Prime Minister, Australia is even more rooted than it has been any time since the Howard era.

Mr Opinion please check your figures on how many Chinese live in Sydney
You are very very wrong face it
But the thread is well put China has time to achieve what it wants and we are part of that list

After political correctness completely nullifies all western nations soverignty and they become vassal states under globalism;
Then under 'trade necessities' the west will more closely align with the east;
In that:
Competition will ensure the wests wages will go decrease while Chinas wages will increase;
(Continuing the profitability for multi-nations while nations fall around them)
Multicultuaral policies will create a need for moving to a full surveillance state like China.

Israel will become more powerful as it is a 'Jewish' state, and not weakened by immigration and political correctness becoming policy;
As well as the fact it will have hegemony over global technology as a sister to Chinas manufacturing, also the Silk road also goes to Haifa.

Dear Belly,

I went out into the streets and did a quick head count. Yep, just as I said, every second person in Sydney is Chinese. I asked my wife if she would have a look and yep she came back and said that every second person in Sydney is Chinese.

For you to say that every second person in Sydney cannot be Chinese tells me you live outside of Sydney. Why not come to Sydney and have a look for yourself? You'll be absolutely amazed at what you see.
