Wow! Paul has direct linen to Trump. Paul knows that Trump wants trade war. For all things Trump, tune into Paul.

The ABC reports today that Australian warships were challenged by the Chinese navy in the South China Sea today. Better see if we can get Paul a hotline to Beijing, similar to the one he has to Trump. He could do some negotiating, perhaps with the help of that highly diplomatic and level headed hero of his, Richard di Natale.

According to you ttbn, the lefty ABC is all fake news. They must be making this up.

And you claim "Chinese attempts to influence Australian politics with money and incursions of Chinese nationals and dual citizens; nothing about Chinese aggression in the South China Sea or Xi Zinping’s unashamed expansionist policies in the region."

Have you been in communication with Mr Xi Zinping to get his secret policies, when did he tell you he was into unashamed expansionism as a general policy.

Wow! ttbn has direct linen to Mr Xi Zinping. ttbn knows that Xi Zinping wants China to expand. For all things Xi Zinping, tune into ttbn.

ttbn, I hope you didn't lose anything in the translation. Maybe you can get that level headed hero if yours, Corny Banana to help you out on that one.

"The Chinese ambassador to Australia has threatened..."

China is a bully which took over Tibet by force and tortures its people. It also threatens Taiwan and the freedoms of the people of Hong Kong, not to mention the non-existent freedom of its own people.

- Why IS there a Chinese ambassador to Australia? How come Australia allowed him to be here in the first place?

Yuyutsu,

“- Why IS the Chinese ambassador to Australia? How come Australia allowed him to be here in the first place?”

Because of greed and corruption. Our political class and big business see nothing but dollar signs, and they are prepared to sacrifice the rest of us for the sake of money. Political parties and individual politicians have taken money from China. They are dealing with the devil in the form of the Chinese Communist Party which is never very far from Chinese people and businesses no matter where they are.
