Is China seriously considering military bases in the Pacific? : Comments

By Jeffrey Wall, published 21/1/2022

Just how a naval base and a military camp would qualify for all the taxation and other concessions that go with the PNG 'special economic zone' concept eludes me.

Bronwyn: China has one military base situated outside its territory.

What you really meant to say was that China has only one recognized Base outside China. All the others are Clandestine. E.g. Darwin.

Not one body in the World recognises China's claim for the entire St. China Sea.

Only a blind fool with the IQ and attention span of a goldfish, would believe we are not threatened by China.

The continued bombing of terrorists that threaten us and America with mindless evil is justifiable. And an entirely different kettle of fish from the intentions of (Pure unadulterated evil) CCP, which has (insanity personified) ambitions to rule and enslave the world!

Just don't count the bombs, but the loss of life and freedom and in comparison!

For example, how many gulags and reeducation camps does America run and how much of other folks sovereign territory has she anexxed via armed force

<< Just don't count the bombs, but the loss of life and freedom and in comparison! For example, how many gulags and reeducation camps does America run and how much of other folks sovereign territory has she anexxed via armed force >>

Yes, counting the bombs is uncomfortable for someone like you, Alan, especially when we consider the numbers of innocent civilians whose lives they destroy or extinguish ... not to mention, the enemies they create each and every time. And as for loss of freedom, not sure how free anyone could feel with killer drones patrolling their skies, which is how millions in the Middle East and elsewhere live their lives day in day out.

The misinformation about so-called gulags and re-education camps in Xinjang comes from a single source, Adrian Zenz, a born-again rabid anti-communist with an obsessive agenda to demonise China. China has a terrorist problem in Xinjang, which it's quite correctly seeking to control. Yes, there has been some level of repression, but nothing to the extent that's been mindlessly repeated in the mainstream Western media. Certainly, there have been no invasions and bombing raids, which is how the US controls its perceived terrorism threats.

And as for the annexing claim, yes, China strongly believes Tibet, Xinjang and Taiwan to be part of China. It works tirelessly to achieve peaceful reunification and very rarely resorts to armed force. It does not invade and bomb sovereign nations situated miles away from its own borders as the US has done in Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria and elsewhere.

Xi Jinping at Davos this week has stated that ‘major economies should see the world as one community’, hardly the words of someone with 'ambitions to rule and enslave the world!' You really do need to calm down, Alan.

Thanks for that. I am so relieved now that President Xi has uttered those words, for nobody with evil designs could ever be so banal. Shame on me for thinking otherwise.

I am curious about the University you attended, or are attending. Does it have a Confucius Institute on campus?
