China has genuine international relationships only with similar thugs, like Russia, North Korea and others who are all a threat to the West. HTF do Albanese et al on the Left think they Australia can have anything but a trading relationship with them.

Have they not noticed that even that trade relationship will be damaged if they say anything to China that we can say to our real friends and allies. Look what happened when the last PM with the guts to call out China did so. OK, it was the only thing Morrison got right. But he was right, and he received international praise for it. Nobody has praised jelly-back Albanese for anything. “Handsome boy” doesn't count; it just amplifies the contempt he is held in by the Communists.

By keeping mum on China, Albanese is not just showing cowardice, he is legitimising Communist behaviour. So is the truly awful Wong, who acts more like a foreigner than a foreign minister.

Both the childish Albanese and Wong, along with the SA premier, are allowing themselves to be won over by replacements for a couple of animals, the name of one, Wang Wang, they mispronounce as Wong Wong because their Chinese mates apparently call an ‘A’ an ‘O’. Whatever the pandas are called, they can't breed: duds like the rest of the China-Australia relationship.

If Donald Trump gets in as US President won't that be lovely
for Australia. He loves strong dictators like Putin and the
rocket man of North Korea, and will probably kiss-ass with
China.

Penny Wong and the Albanese government won't look so bad
then will it.

Be careful what you wish for and choose wisely.

"Admit it. All you're interested in is stirring."

Yep that must be it. Couldn't possibly be that I simply disagree with your swooning toward Wong, could it? Because in Foxy's fantasy land there' no valid reason anyone could disagree with Foxy.

And still no example of anything exceptional Wong did as Foreign Affairs Minister.

"He loves strong dictators like Putin and the rocket man of North Korea, and will probably kiss-ass with China."

Yep just like he did in his first term. Oh wait, he didn't do any of that in his first term. But when you suffer from TDS, facts don't matter.

ttbn,
Trump or Biden does it matter
Albo or Dutton does it matter

When will you people look at the bigger picture going on in the world
The West, the G7 and its vassal states are a waning empire
Russia, China and BRICS are the new world.
Theses no stopping it.

Unless you want to blow the whole entire planet up and end up losing anyway.

Do you think we can beat them economically?
They have a very carefully crafted and foolproof geo-economic plan to put an end to the west and the unipolar world, it's happening before your eyes.
Do you think we can beat them militarily?
American weapons are overpriced junk.
Russia and China already have better stuff.
What weapons are we going to buy off the US to defend against Russian and Chinese drone swarms and hypersonic missiles travelling at Mach 10+?
How many billions will it cost just to fire off a salvo.
When you can't hit the hypersonics anyway?

We wont win the war, and it will send us broke.
Please stop trying to pick a fight with Mike Tyson.
It's unproductive.

Why do you hate China?
Is it because they are winning?
Why are they winning?
Is their system superior, or is our system inferior?

Watch this and you might find out why the West is losing.
The answer is incompetence.
No forward thinking.

Two parties fighting all the time and not achieving jack shite.

Indonesia has 280 million people.
What are we going to do if they decided to launch a ground invasion?
Whats your plan?
The best plan is try to live with all of our neighbours in peace.

Treat foreign dignitaries with respect and decency when they visit.
Whose stupid bloody idea was it to park that Cheng Lei's arse right behind the Chinese premier?
You put an accused chinese spy behind the Chinese premier.
What sort of stupid childish schoolyard antics are the idiots in charge doing exactly?
Are they trapped in the mind of a 14 year old?

Hi AC,

Good questions.

Trump or Biden does it matter
Albo or Dutton does it matter

If you are looking for radical change outside the confines of the existing social and economic framework of capitalist, then no it doesn't much matter who the figurehead is. Other than having a reasonable level of intelligence to perform the required duties, then there's no other requirement.

"When will you people look at the bigger picture going on in the world
The West, the G7 and its vassal states are a waning empire
Russia, China and BRICS are the new world. Theses no stopping it."

We need to work to be part of a mutually beneficial world, which we know is developing, the old guard led by United States is in decline, and on its way out. A new social, economic and political order is developing , and we need to make ourselves relevant and included. We can do it, and it can be done peacefully.

" hypersonic missiles travelling at Mach 10+?"

The Chinese might call the missiles hypersonic but I think that if you replace the fuel with water and pocket the profit, they might not work quite as expected </sarc>

The world is (and always has been) filled with people who fall for the totalitarian propaganda that their system is a well oiled machine. Because they can suppress most contrary information, its easy for them to fool the easily fooled.

I well remember 'experts' and the apologists for totalitarian systems telling us as late as 1985 that the Soviet system was vastly superior and would overwhelm the west. Five years later the Soviet empire was no more.

When Russia invaded Ukraine, we found out it was a paper tiger. I strongly suspect that we'll learn the same thing about the crumbling Chinese empire if it ever decides to act on its expansionary ambitions.
