Foxy. Well argued rational discourse! We appear to be, as John Howard was fond of saying, warm and comfortable!

As is indeed a frog being brought very slowly to the boil in a bowl of water! Or Wuhan soup?

Except this time, the virus was like a dash of ice water that got the frog, i.e., us, hopping mad an out of that (beggar's) bowl!

Albeit a very small minority of billionaires, want us to hop right back in and get all warm and comfortable again, as profits will for them, always be more important than people!

No names no pack drill. But big important people!
And I know you know who I mean!

Similarly, as evidenced by the obscene profits made by big pharma on palliative care.

Profits that'd fly out the window if we had and used bismuth 213! Then sent folk in full remission home to live long and prosper as opposed to sending them home to die or line the pockets of various
practitioners/industries, trying to make them more comfortable?

Take care and stay safe,

The defunct White Australia was piffling compared with China's modern day intentions.

The Chinese pursuit of hegemony (something they invented two millennia ago) predisposes them to determine the outcome of territorial and other disputes by threats, intimidation, blackmail and, if necessary, outright use of force.

They are now using stages one to three of that method in the matter of trade with Australia.

Runner.
Yup! Albeit, not without consequences?

Seen some archived photographs of dead Chinese Coolies hanging by their pigtail in an Aboriginal larder as they were just hanging around waiting fr their turn in an Aboriginal ( velly nice, Chinese stew witt lots of body) cooking pot?

Supposedly some sort of ( this is my body) religious ceremony, to honour the bravest warrior adversaries?

Until recently, one prominent Chinese professor believed chinese were descendants from neanderthals, a seperate race from all of us.

But the....with changed his mind afte genetic testing proved otherwise; they were merely they same as us

They are, but so are Europeans.

yes, but chinese professor was arguing that chinese did not descend from Africa where science shows that all races can be traced back to Africa.
