Donald Trump had good reason to adress the trade balance betwwen America and China
Just as the British Empire did in its Colonialist days, or America its self post WW2 gains, of parts of those colonies
China too wants it share, and a bit more
Methods Trump has used seem more likely to harm us all than stall the Dragons advance
This country must soon, balance the importance of our trade with China and the uncertainty that country leaves us with
Is trade its only intended path to world power,or are we watching what may become far more than we would like?

Dear Belly,

A local North Shore (Sydney) Chinese woman was overheard saying to a friend: 'Aren't the Australians dumb?' inferring that we are stupid to let the Chinese walk in en masse and take control of all our real estate and businesses.

And now they are starting to take control of out polity. How many Nick Zhaos and Gladys Lius is it going to take before Australia wakes up to the intentions of the Chinese Communist Party? And I don't think this is all being orchestrated only from Beijing. Someone in Australia, and I think someone who may not be Chinese, is pulling a few strings as well to get Chinese into the Australian political system. As one Liberal Party politician apparently once said: politics is where the money.

Not only trade needs balancing , do does the buying of land & facilities. How many Australians own land in China ? How many Australians are now Chinese citizens ?

Stop talking China. Our politicians dealing directly with the Chinese Communist Party, which runs everything. And that is really disgusting and treacherous. Australian politicians can take CCP money, be exposed, but still remain in our Parliament. I'm absolutely sure Chinese living in Australia think that we are dumb. They are right - we, or at least our politicians - are very, very dumb.

It would be good if we first understood former colonial countrys and their actions
Start with the British isles, look at the death toll in the salt tax issue, know it is the tip of an iceberg
Then France the list is long
Purely being racist towards China is to ignore the truth
Yes they are our trading partner, we do 30 percent of our trading with them
From time to time they remind us, by cutting or stalling sections of our trade as we saw happen to coal and iron ore briefly
And yes like every power before them ,they are building Islands in the Pacific, and lending morey world wide, to? I think for a financial style of colonization
We must be very careful but too, as all colonies once did,be respectful
Sheer numbers tell us only a Nuclear war has any chance of beating today's China
Just maybe that Tiananmen square butchery,and the on going determination of those Hong Kong folk can tell us not all Chinese are followers of the Communist party, but do not bank on them winning
China is strengthened by its not needing it people to agree with its actions
