Hi Mr Opinion

On talk of a China-Russia alliance.

Like any 2 great powers sharing a long border, relations between China and Russia are complex. They flactuate. They are nowhere near being in alliance.

True commentators have made much of a 22 Dec 2020 joint air Exercise. "The Russian military said that a pair of its Tu-95 strategic bombers and four Chinese H-6K bombers flew over the Sea of Japan and the East China Sea on Tuesday." http://7news.com.au/politics/russian-chinese-bombers-fly-over-pacific-c-1820089

But http://7news.com.au/politics/russian-chinese-bombers-fly-over-pacific-c-1820089 goes on to say:

"It follows Russian President Vladimir Putin's statement in [Oct 2020] that the idea of a future Russia-China military alliance should not be ruled out - a signal of deepening military cooperation between Moscow and Beijing amid growing tension in their relations with the United States.

Until that moment, Russia and China had hailed their "strategic partnership" BUT [PUTIN] REJECTED any talk about the possibility of their forming a military alliance."

This is noting in 1969 Russia and China mobilised 10,000s of troops against each other in a border war. A war in which the Russian High Command discussed the nuclear weapon option. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sino-Soviet_split#Border_conflict
____________________________

So China and Russia are frequently nervous neighbours http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sino-Russian_relations_since_1991

"Russian commentators have increasingly raised concerns about China's ambitions and influence in Central Asia, an area traditionally within Russian influence.[6]"

Also, in December 2019, Russian Rostec officials accused China of intellectual property theft of a range of military technologies.[143] In June 2020, Russia charged one of its Arctic scientists of passing sensitive information to China.[144]

So Russian-Chinese relations remain complicated. They are nowhere near being in alliance.

Dear Mr. Opinion,

«If I had my way I would cancel the visas of all non-Australian Chinese in Australia (half a million of them according to Foul-Mouth) and give them 2 weeks to get out of the country, including their business and infrastructure operations.»

Breaking up families, robbing people of their hard-earned possessions and sending innocent people who took refuge with us back into the horrible clutches of oppression, I am surprised why rape too was not on the menu - with such strategies, what makes you any better than the CCP? What freedom are we fighting for if we take away the freedom of others? And once the Chinese are gone, who would be next?

Rather, I would work to win the hearts and minds of our Chinese guests and give them every reason to appreciate and prefer the Australian heaven over the hell they came from, then side with us on the coming war.

I am not blind of course. There must be scrutiny, scrutiny and more scrutiny, so the goats are sorted out from the sheep and only them kicked out, all CCP sympathisers sent back to China on rafts with the same clothes they had when they were born.

Yuyutsu,

Have you ever heard the expression "Don't look a gift horse in the mouth."?

Dear Mr. Opinion,

Imagine if the people of ancient Troy had X-rays, ultrasound, MRI and CT-scans at their disposal like we do today!

Be sure we will use every possible means to check the horse, but let us leave the details for the professionals.

Hi Yuyutsu,

Thanks for some common sense against the dumb racism of our Village Idiot. I would have thought that anybody who wants to send all Chinese back to China, regardless, was clearly an agent of the repressive CCP regime. But that might be attributing much too much intelligence to him.

Joe

Comrade Foul-Mouth,

I didn't say all the Chinese.

I said non-Australian Chinese.

Again you attempt to win an argument by putting words in someone's mouth.

I can't wait until I get to say 'I TOLD YOU SO."
