Not sure we could take millions of migrants, the population of Hong Kong
Am sure even if we did we still would face invasion from China
Find myself in strange company here a man I regard as extreme right,agrees with me, having read his thoughts I agree with him
Let us be honest, the flower power days blinded many, any thought we should disarm, is insanity, unless our opponent is doing the same
China is no friend believe me trade is not friendship
Our apathy, refusal to see China for what itis helps only China

China thinks it owns other parts like north China, south China ,west China. When they start long marches in their cities Australia will take them too . 200million , 600million. fair enough.

The Chinese government is in a bind. Their economy is staggering in the wake of Trump's tariff war and they are struggling to hold it together. They know that Hong Kong is a major ingredient in the success of the Chinese economy over the past 2 decades and that a major disruption to HK's prosperity would have multiplier effects through eastern China.

So they want to go softly on the HK uprising. There's no point going in hardcore when things aren't completely dire.

My guess is that they are trying to emulate Macron who simply out-waited the yellow shirts. Pick off a few leaders, make protesting increasingly uncomfortable and threatening, but don't go full Tiananmen just yet.

The protesters on the other hand cannot surely be so clueless as to think that China will meekly roll over and accede to the demands. Even though China has tried hard to suppress all knowledge of what happen in June 1989, it hasn't really succeeded in doing so in HK. So the protesters will be aware that they can only go so far before the government finally decides that the downsides of destroying the culture of HK is out-weighed by the downsides of letting open rebellion continue.

The problem is that these leaderless types of rebellions have a habit of spiralling out of control (like 1989) as apparent success encourages the hot-heads to go for more.

In the end the Chinese government is very anxious to protect their economy by not over-reacting in HK. Its for the best in regards to China. But ultimately what's good for China is secondary to what's good for the Chinese leadership. This they will protect that power with all the means at their disposal.

If it goes the way of the yellow-shirts it will fizzle out but remain a running sore in Beijing-HK relations. If it goes Tiananmen, the problems in the Chinese economy will spiral downward uncontrollably.

And the ramifications of that will be catastrophic for the Australian economy.

Dear Belly,

Liberal MP Andrew Hastie compared the rise of China
to the rise of Nazi Germany.

Interesting thought. How does that compare with Mr
Trump's America?

Some here on the forum would probably blame it all on
the conspiracy myths of the Rothschilds (sick).

Adolf Hitler was part Jewish but Trump is not German or Jewish..
