The comments here are very alarming and disturbing. Clearly China is an enemy.

But what is their favourite weapon?

Military might would be their last resort - sowing apathy their first; and time is on their side.

The more coercion and surveillance we have in Australia, the more we become a police-state, the less the difference from China, then why would we care specifically who is controlling us, who censors us, who it is that looks at all we do 24/7? All China needs is to support a strong tyrannical government in Australia, then in due course Australia will fall into their hands easily like a ripe fruit!

On the contrary, the more personal freedom we have and value (including minority-group-freedom and religious-freedom, which are so lacking in China), the more likely we shall give them an heroic fight when the time comes.

I say, let us prepare the necessary biological weapons with special attraction to Han-Chinese genes, so that if Australia is invaded, very few humans would remain alive in China. Meanwhile, let us wean ourselves of the temptation for cheap Chinese goods (which are generally of low quality and endurance anyway). Also, we should openly and proudly recognise Taiwan as an independent country and our ally (and as the question will be raised - yes, we should try as much as possible to release vaccines in Taiwan simultaneously when we release our biological weapons in China).

If we are to be treated like "a handful of savages" as Paul puts it, then let us be true to that name, let us fight and die if necessary like the Maoris of New-Zealand rather than like our aboriginals here who gave no resistance and died passively like flies with special "thanks" to the effects of alcohol.

Caveat: None of this worries me personally because I do not plan to remain in this world when all this comes to pass.

"Clearly China is an enemy" Hi Yuyutsu, why do we have to assume China is our enemy, what wrong have the Chinese ever done us? Too often in our short history as nation we have assumed these people, or those people, are our enemy, out to do us harm. We started early on with the Boars of South Africa, then progressed to the Turks of the Middle East, Germans, Japanese, Koreans, Vietnamese, etc etc, the list goes on. Australia has shown itself to be a most aggressive and belligerent nation, up there with the British and Americans, all dangers to world peace!

BTW do all ads appear the same on every ones forum pages? There is this decrepit old bloke in an ad for health insurance saying "Aussies born before 1962..." He's got this evil stare.... is it one of the Forums conservative old farts in the picture, keeping an eye on us all, in case we say the wrong thing? That's something I would never do!

Paul,

As Australia banning Huawei before the US blows a hole in your conspiracy theory.

Too often in our short history as nation we have assumed these people, or those people, are our enemy,
Paul1405,
I tend to agree with your statement, I'm more inclined to think that the Paul1405's & Mr Opinion's et al are the real enemy of Australia.

Dear individual,

What is your reason for thinking that I am an enemy of Australia?
