Alan B.,

Would you like to offer an apology for the behaviour of the Chinese journalists at Scott Morrison's media conference yesterday? See the article in my last post above.

And while you're at it how about apologising for its annexation of the South China Sea and HK and its unleashing of the WuFlu pandemic.

Alan, there is a big poster somewhere with a smiling emperor Xi pointing right at you that says "China needs YOU!"

You might even get a dinner invitation from Andrew Forrest and the boys.

The silly Chinese reporter ensured that she was going to be filmed right up to her departure from the scene. They really know nothing about our culture.

In February, ASIO director-­general Mike Burgess said “the level of threat we face from foreign espionage and interference activities is currently unprecedented — it is higher now than it was at the height of the Cold War".

Chinese law requires all companies and individuals to co-­operate with the intelligence estab­lishment and to hide their co-operation. That, combined with the Chinese regime’s unrelenting cyber and human-source spying on our parliament, political parties, government departments, universities and businesses, is reason enough to conclude that foreign investment from China must be subject to the most stringent ­national security test.

China now claims most of the South China Sea, which holds about $4 trillion worth of oil and gas reserves, marine resources and islands. This, despite a finding of illegality in The Hague. The rest of world just sits back and watches.

I do not see ASIO or the Morrison government deliberately exaggerating attempted Chinese government infiltration of our political system or spying activities in Australia. The fact that China is imposing economic sanctions on Australia will not win any votes for the Morrison government. And thats exactly what the Chinese have been attempting, bullying and coercion by economic means to make us into a sycophantic satellite. Morrison needs to stand firm and what i have seen of him so far I believe he will. China needs us more than we need them.

I like this one:
