What utter rubbish!
The claim one point was it five? million Chinese Live here
NEVER ever read that authors trash comments again
Indy the bleeding people of Hong Kong are Chinese
You clutch my friend at straws
Every human as a birthright should have freedom

Democracy is good if you're the one enjoying it ! Being on the side of the exploited is a different story, a story we don't get to hear much about.
1000000000 divided by 25000000=40. Ok, now multiply the Australian crime & other statistics by 40 & then think what the world would be like with as many Australians as Chinese !
Scary eh ?

Best let it drop indy noway you will ever convince me your view makes sense on this issue
In fact as China will be our enemy if not soon in the next decade I am stunned at you thought pattern

Democracies are not perfect. People in modern
societies don't have the time to educate themselves
on every topic or policy and can easily be manipulated
slogans. The rise of right wing populist parties in
Europe and Donald Trump (I'm going to make America
Great Again) demonstrate this well.

However we need to ask ourselves regarding China -
would we really be happy living in a society where
human rights did not matter, where there was no freedom
of speech or open political dialogue. Where human rights
defenders were jailed. Where the internet becomes a
spying tool, where minorities are persecuted. Where
one is sent for "re-education" if your views differ
from what the party line is.

We must not lose the clash of ideas against authoritarianism.
A democracy is intrinsically better than an autocracy or
an oligarchy. Russia is a good example of this. It's pretty
much run by a political boss and a corrupt hell hole if
you compare it to the West.

The 2016 Census revealed that there are 1.2 million Chinese living in Australia.

We should take comfort in the knowledge that
China's attempt to encroach in Hong Kong has
had relative little success so far with young
people who've grown up with western influences
continuing to resist.

So too any attempt by China to dictate to Australia
would find even greater resistance from our
population.

As for our current concentration of Chinese in certain
areas of our cities - that is the normal process of
migrants and people of other cultures seeking comfort
in familiar surroundings. But eventually as we've
experienced - their children and grand-children end up
merging into the broader society.
