NO surprise. WE need this freefall to turn into a worldwide movement that hopefully put the CCP in its place.

IMO, humanity depends upon it. A world led by the CCP is a re-entry into the dark ages.

Yeah. We have noticed. And, although Jackie Lambie is an idiot, we should boycott the whatever games, and China itself. What sensible people who understand what Communism is all about has happened. Stupid, greedy people still don't seem to get it. They have run, bleating to the WTO, that wonderful UN organisation that was complicit in getting China 'on board' and believing that the CCP would come good and act like everyone else.

We were doing fine before the surrender to Communist China. We now have to pay for the idiocy and greed of the politicians, ideologues and billionaires. It will be hard, because the nitwits still haven't got past the empty rhetoric about rebuilding our manufacturing and looking for optional markets for our goods; and the downsizing of the plonk industry which has been the final blow for little boy Birmingham, would do us no harm. Plenty of drunks in Australia and the rest of the world getting around in a daze to escape reality.

The biggest problem now is the idea that Australia has to mend fences with a vile bully instead of standing up to it, and putting all our energy into throwing off what has become an economic yoke and a massive danger to our sovereignty and freedoms

China the nation-state is more than just a bunch of old codgers in the Communist Party.

Is Australia the nation-state just a bunch of imbeciles in the Commonwealth? No.

Stop directing the blame at the CCP as if it exists independently of China the nation-state.

And keep in mind not to be offensive to former(?) affiliate of the CCP Gladys Liu MP.

Matt Canavan, one of the few realist politicians left in Australia, says that we should get out of the "abusive relationship" with China.

The boofhead interviewing him exaggerated our exports to China from the actual 30% to 50%, but Canavan reminded him that 20 years ago there was no trade between Australia and China, and Australia was a "pretty good" place then.

That's the sort of leader we need

yes, I will be voting coalition because of China issue.

We need leaders that stand for important Western principles as we face the greatest crisis since the Second World War.

Chris Lewis & ttbn,

Unfortunately the way things are going we might be invaded and overrun by the Chinese.

And keep in mind that the enemy is already inside the gate. And I don't think Soot and Dazza's gal are doing anything to keep the rest of them out.

At least Foxy, david f, Pseudo-Mouth and others in the pro-China camp will be happy.
