China is in the news. With Covid and with trade wars, the world has begun to question its embrace of China over these past decades.

Dear Chris,

It's a risky business predicting any future at
the best of times of course, but I am hopeful
that with China - industrialisation and modernisation
will bring about political change as well.

My parents fled from a totalitarian regime - the
Soviet Union. So I can understand your fears.
But I don't share them.

I have trust in our government to make the
right decisions concerning our nation

Mr O,

Are we all to blame if we like Chinese food, or go to
$2.00 shops, or buy cars that are made in China?
Even many of our clothes, and footwear, not to mention -
residential developments that are springing up everywhere.

Why on earth should the Chinese invade us?

They're already controlling a large part of our economy.

Perhaps what you should be doing instead of posting here
is contacting Canberra regarding your concerns.

Alright, which one of you lot left his or her compass, maps and other assorted spy paraphernalia lying around in Beijing.

You can pick it up at the Beijing Spy Prison next time you are there. And you should hurry because

That's right, this is only the start of worse things to come.

Mr O,

So, instead of contacting Canberra to air your concerns
about the Chinese you said you were going to contact -
Gladys Liu or Andrew Forrest instead.

No. in that case you'd be better off contacting:

Ambassador Cheng Jingye
Embassy of the People's Republic of China
15 Coronation Drive
Yarralumla ACT 2600

Tel: (02) 6228-3998

Or your local Chinese take-away.

Your choice.

Foxy,

Good suggestion because I have heard that Ambassador Cheng Jingye is not as dim as he sims.

And I promise not to tell him that it is your spy paraphernalia they confiscated in Beijing and that your real name is Foxy Mata Hari. Your secrets are safe with me.
