Hey Chek Ling.

If one half of the population of China was either born overseas or who had overseas born non Chinese parents, what would the Chinese people in China be saying about that?

You and I both know that they would be just as disgusted at their own political leaders for allowing that to happen, as Australia's are today. And knowing how racist Chinese people are, I would say a lot more so.

Your article is just another rant by a Chinese who would love Australia to become part of China. And you know that large scale Chinese immigration is the best way to achieve that desirable outcome without the necessity of engaging in a messy war. And, you know that there is a significant section of Australian society who are self flagellators and who want to believe that their own race and culture are the worst on the planet. So your article will have some appeal to that particular caste.

And I love the reference to Zimmerman, the little fagot helecoptered into his seat to appease the gay rights terroists.
The same exact terrorists who sacrifice "others" for their own personal gain, in appeasing Chinese, and lauding them in value, above the same "all others".

It's now a case of sit back and watch the penalty for Chinese appeasement to be paid for by citizen Joe Blow.

Multiculturalism has taken this country to its knees, and all of it by appeasing minorities.
Who is an Australian, and thus the extended question, what are the group loyalties of its citizens which can be relied upon in times of threat, such as now from China?

White culture is still marginally in the majority: but the enemy has become so embolden as to identify itself and its motives. Anybody black is a suspect and threat!
Chinese are suspect and a threat.

One truth many of us in the real world of Australia are aware of, is the resentment towards Chinese in the suburbs is as real as the Chinese commos' complain.
I'll concede that point!

But through all this, who do we blame? I know my answer!

The author self describes his motivation for becoming an activists as, in part, "the anti-Asian episodes fomented by Blainey". I think he needs to go back and read what Blainey actually said because it is impossible for a logical, sensible, intelligent, unbiased person to interpret Blainey's words as being anti-Asian.

After reading this article "WTF!" I asked at first. Then I realised Australia, as a sovereign country, does not want to be viewed as a Ben Dover US whore.

China hopes that Australia can have its independent China policy, and that Australia's relations with the US do not target third countries - including China.

Australia, as a key US ally, leans toward the US for security while depending on China for trade. After all, it is a Western country culturally and politically, and geographically hanging off the edge of Asia.

As a member of the Five Eyes network, an intelligence-sharing alliance among Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the UK and the US, Australia acts as a fervent US follower. When the US deems it not a good time for it to pick a fight with China at the frontline, Australia often jumps out and tests the reaction of each side.

Malcolm Turnballs, Australia's 29th prime minister, once defined the China relationship in one word - "frenemy," a portmanteau of "friend" and "enemy."

In Turnbutt's recently published memoir, he pointed to his speech during Asia's premier defense summit, the Shangri-La Dialogue, in June 2017, in which he expressed concerns over China's growing power, as the public start date of the current icy age between Australia and China.

A few months later at a conference in Melbourne, attending Australian politicians, academics and former government officials raised concerns that the country's lack of an independent foreign policy from its conventional US-centric approach had undermined its own national interests.

Rational Australian experts are right in saying that Canberra's policy toward Beijing is ragged. But the question is how to save it. Australian politicians should realize that their country's security arrangements with the US and their adaptation of a rising China are not a zero-sum game.

Some Australian media have been quick to point out that China's latest Beef and Barley import suspension is revenge for an Australia-initiated inquiry into COVID-19 and called it "economic coercion."

But it is not. It is justice.

Trent Zimmerman is currying favour with Chinese in anticipation of their takeover of Australia. Zimmerman is what is described as a "moderate" Liberal, which really means he is on the same plane as the Greens and other ultra-Leftists: the sort of candidate that the modern, left-leaning LNP puts up in hippy electorates because they are desperate to win elections by any means. Zimmerman is also unaware that he won't be thanked by the Chinese, who are arch-racists, and have been for three thousand years; they invented it.

And speaking of 'that hegemon" - the USA - hegemony is another thing invented by the Chinese. They have alway seen themselves being at the centre of the world, and they simply want to replace the US - first in the region, then in the world. How dare a Chinese person deride hegemony when his race is a master of it! But that's the way they work: deceitfully. It is a thing of pride to dupe foreigners by saying one thing and doing another.

I note that Mr.Chek chucks in the 'Great Humiliation' that is drummed into children from pre-school age.

Never forget: China is the enemy even if it is the fault of our greedy, stupid politicians and business barons for surrendering to them. China is just doing what it has always done, and will always do. We did not have to sell our soul to China as we have done for simple greed.

They've got us now. All that talk about reindustrialising and self reliance is just that - talk. As the China virus fades into history, greedy, lazy Australians are not going to give up 'cheap stuff' and their big wages. Even if the goods are rubbish, they are cheap enough to replace regularly. And, who wants to be called a racist, even if you know you should be speaking up against the creation of Sinostralia

Patent propaganda writ large! And that's the polite term. Sort of like trying to put out a fire by throwing petrol on it?
