Warren Reed's article appears to be a defence of China's indefensible claim to ownership of the South China Sea, buried in a lot of historical smokescreens and gobbledegook.

It is completely irrelevant if the Chinese have "historically" always considered the South China Sea as their territory, any more than it matters if all of Islam thinks that Israel should be wiped off the map, or whether Argentina considers that "historically", the Falkland Islands should be part of their territory. All over the world, there exists "historical" territorial disputes among competing nations that would result in war except for one over riding fact. That if you join the United Nations, then you are legally bound to respect the already surveyed borders of your neighbours. And also, to respect and abide by extremely important international laws like the Law of the Sea. This Law, invented for the good of everybody, simply says that the seas and oceans of the world beyond internationally delineated national borders are free for all to use.

Red China knew that when it was grudgingly admitted into the UN. Every single civilised, and nearly every uncivilised country on planet Earth opposes China in this situation. China's only allies on this are those backward cesspits who's allegiances and votes it has bought, usually with terms guaranteed to make those self states even more bankrupt and eventual economic colonies of China. And Warren Reed.

The point that Warren buried in his historical gobbledegook, if that if history is a guide, then China is becoming an expansionist fascist state who does not give a damn about the long established rules of international civilised behaviour. It is a new totalitarian world power with constantly growing armed forces, and it will soon reach the stage when it is going to use that force to get whatever it wants. As such, it should be regarded with suspicion and deep mistrust. For Warren to indirectly defend China, is either completely naive, or it makes one wonder whether Warren got any Chinese literary stipends lately?

CHINA’S CONCENTRATION CAMPS HOLDING 2 MILLION CHINESE

Australia’s ABC News has published an excellent article featuring satellite graphics on China’s quickly expanding concentration camps.

In support of Hastie’s China-Nazi Germany comparison - China is not only like Nazi Germany in its rapid arms buildup and territorial expansion. China is also into rapid concentration camp building on a scale that would make Himmler's SS proud.

The ABC article is http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-11-01/satellite-images-expose-chinas-network-of-re-education-camps/10432924

“ABC Speaking China’s frontier of fear”

“Satellite imagery captured over a remote and highly volatile region of western China lifts the lid on the size and spread of internment camps used to indoctrinate vast numbers of [Chinese].

An investigation by ABC News using new research collated by the Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI) think tank, identifies and documents the expansion of 28 detention camps that are part of a massive program of subjugation in the region of Xinjiang.

Analysis of the data shows that since the start of 2017, the 28 facilities have expanded their footprint by more than 2 million square metres. In the past three months alone, they’ve grown by 700,000 square metres - that’s about the size of 35 Melbourne Cricket Grounds [every 3 months. And Camp expansion has accelerated through 2019].

...“What we’re seeing here is a breach of human rights that is of such a scale that we haven’t seen since the post Tiananmen Square crackdown in China,” said Fergus Ryan, an analyst and China expert at ASPI’s International Cyber Policy Centre.

An estimated two million [Chinese] have been rounded up and detained in these camps where they are forced to undergo patriotic training and “de-extremification”, according to witnesses and human rights groups..."

Of course, this is all a beat-up to garner sympathy for the "poor and oppressed" Chinese, which as we see in front of our eyes day by day, doesn't apply to Chinese in Australia.

In Australia, Chinese are quickly becoming an economic force on every level to be dealt with.

There are no good Chinese, and if Australia wishes to be subjugated by the menace they are, then simply feel sorry for them, they will take care of the rest, thanks very much!
