Well said Bazz. We will not wake up until it is too late. Chinese 'investment' will prove to be the end of our Nation as we know it. Both major political parties are hellbent on 'integrating' our once proud, independent and largely European country into some sort of Asian nightmare dominated by the Chinese who are now our 'friends' with whom we have some sort of 'special' relationship. What a load of bollocks. They are not our 'friends' and they are most certainly not our allies. They are an territorially expansionist, highly militaristic and racist nation with their sights firmly set on domination and Australia is a willing target! WAKE UP AUSTRALIA! We can hardly feed ourselves let alone the rest of the world, and as for exporting gas while we import diesel . . . how ridiculous can you get? Especially as we are not allowed to know how much the gas is being 'sold' for as it is not in the national interest. How much of Australia's so called foreign debt is actually repatriated profits from so called 'foreign investment'?

yeah i noticed. What do you expect from a govt with no idea. Taking the money from corrupt elites from non-democratic states is one way to simply to boost GDP, and to hell with any other option that helps boosts need of nation.

If the Coalition proves as useless as Labor, heaven help us.

Cody - Your post is full of holes and meaningless dribble.

Just 2 quick questions to ask you.
1) How many countries has China invaded?
2) How many countries has America invaded?

30 years ago the investment and gas price arguments you used were directed at the Japanese.

the money goes to the tens of thousands of illegals encouraged by Rudd/Gillard, millions or billions on failed Green schemes and a whole fraudulent department (climate change). Food bowl or quarry? we could easily have both if in hands of competent people.

Philip S, as far as I know in recent times only one, Tibet.
The difference to the US is that China has no intention of ever leaving.

However hunger changes all the rules.
The Central Kingdom does have an elevated opinion of itself and has
already lain claim to the South China Sea beyond internationally
agreed boundaries.

Bazz - The number for America is up over the 60 mark.

They leave but usually after installing a puppet ruler.

There are quite a few countries laying claim to that part of the world.

Australians are more racist than Chinese by far Cody just forgot to mention that.

Also you should be old enough to confirm what I wrote about the Japanese in relation to Investment and gas pricing was factual.
