On worrying about Chinese people: 2018 : Comments

By Brian Hennessy, published 8/8/2018

Within minutes she was complaining about President Xi Jinping who, after being appointed leader in 2012, had raised hopes for a more open society.

The “millions” of Chinese who “have no interest in politics” are going to have to get interested if they are ever going to get rid of the CCP and vicious mongrels like Xi Jinping. Even in a country like Australia, a democracy, we are beginning to lose what we have had because most Australians are ‘not interested in politics’.

And, there certainly “will be trouble” because China’s imagined ‘market’ economy is artificial; run by the Chinese Communist Party.

Yes, a worry! And not to be taken too lightly! And the most compelling reason to do a 180 and buy nuclear powered, nuclear subs of the shelf! And save Australian jobs and industry, none more important than our homegrown self-defence industries, by the immediate implementation/rollout of nuclear power.

Not just any nuclear power, but walk away safe MSR thorium which paradoxically can be also used to burn up nuclear waste or even weapons-grade plutonium!

The Romans had an expression, trust, but watch and probably ought to apply to the current Chinese regime, which seems to parallel the replacement of Lenin by the dictator Starlin? Not the first time, this seemingly benign man looks like the reincarnation of that evilest pernicious personality?

Not, however, our worst worry, when Putin's man in Washington is actively concluding to reduce essential oil supplies to the west? In the hope of forcing a shortage and increase prices and with that further economic harm the length and breadth of the west, with a demonstrably confected attack on Iran.

Iran cannot hope to develop or use nuclear weapons. As we have operatives embedded at the very highest levels and know their plans before they do.

Moreover, have satellites with vision powerful enough to read number plates, stationed in permanent orbit above, which monitor all their covert weapons creating/deploying activities.

If they are mad enough to continue toward full nuclearisation and with their record! Turned into a sea of vitrified glass! I kid you not!

When PP pulls TD's Strings? Are we to jump in lockstep as par for the course? Or do we have another option, [the only one,] which includes becoming a nuclear power with (bought off the shelf) enough in-house deterrent to stop the would-be aggressor in its tracks and before considerations were concluded in this or that hostile war room?

As was the case pertaining to Switzerland during the onset of WW11! In conclusion, remember oil can be and was weaponised!

UNDERSTAND YET?

Chinese businesses have been required to have members of the Chinese Communist Party (the government) imbedded in their businesses. Disgusting. Tyrannical. But, guess what:

The ASX Corporate Governance Council has proposed that ASX listed companies demonstrate and maintain their “social licence to operate.

The Commonwealth Government has empowered and funded ASIC to EMBED ASIC OFFICERS INSIDE private companies to ensure that they behave and comply with government policies.

The Commonwealth Productivity Commission has recommended that all banks should appoint a Principal Integrity Officer (PIO) obliged by law to report directly to their board on the alignment of any payments made by the institution with the new customer best interest duty.

It seems that our own bureaucratic tyrants are learning tricks from China.

ttbn,
I agree with your first paragraph. However economic trouble is far from certain. One of the main reasons (probably THE main reason) why the Chinese Communist Party has managed to stay in power as long as it has is that they are competent macroeconomic managers. They recognise that recessions are never inevitable, and will always do what it takes to prevent one. Label it artificial if you want, but don't make the mistake of assuming that equates to unsustainable!

Alan B.,
UNDERSTAND BUT I STRONGLY DISAGREE!

We do not want more nuclear weapons proliferation. And having a nuclear deterrent ourselves would have the exact opposite effect - we'd start to look like a threat to be neutralised.

As for fuel, it could easily be synthesised if necessary.

ttbn,
"The Commonwealth Government has empowered and funded ASIC to EMBED ASIC OFFICERS INSIDE private companies to ensure that they behave and comply with government policies."

FALSE!

The Commonwealth Government has empowered and funded ASIC to embed ASIC officers inside private companies to ensure that they behave and comply with THE LAW OF THE LAND!

There is no requirement to comply with things that are merely government policies.

That's just your opinion Adian and shows a naivety about international relationships and history repeating itself, needing to be seen to be believed?

How's your mandarin by the way, given your less than well thought out attitude, you and your less than patriotic ilk will surely need to be at least able to carry a conversation once we all become tenants or worse in a Chinese acquisition?

Having nuclear weapons is almost the only guarantee of never having to use them or used against us? Moreover, if we don't have a SAFER THAN COAL, CLEANER THAN COAL AND CHEAPER THAN COAL AND THE CURRENT PLETHORA OF SO-CALLED RENEWABLES, nuclear-powered industry? Your plan for weapons-grade plutonium? Burn it in MSR's or as you seem to suggest? Leave in the weapons?

Fortunately, your kind of "citizen" is still in the minority and we will have nuclear power and nuclear weapons sooner than later, even if we as principled pragmatists, able to see the danger heading in the direction of poor trusting fools? Ready, willing and able, to take reasonable self-defence precautions, lest we become another Tibet Hong Kong or the South China sea!

A Chinese possession? Another name for freedom? But only if, dare I suggest, you're Adian or one of his "patriotic" ilk?

I take you've never ever seen military service mate and never ever volunteered to put your self in harm's way for your friends and family. Just maybe the odd tree or parrot or possum?

Understandable, given your more likely to have more in common emotively with the former and the combined intelligence and memory of the latter?

Try and have a nice day and stop smoking that weed, it's not helping your troubled/liverous disposition nor your short-term memory?
