Foxy,

I disagree with you. The winds of war are upon us.

Who can forget the footage of Neville Chamberlain on the steps of a plane waving a letter from der Fuhrer and telling people that there will be peace in their time.

I suppose we could get Andrew Forrest to stand on the steps of his private jet and exclaim likewise with text on his iPhone: A Message From Xi.

In 1949, at the birth of the PRC, the Chinese people were told that the CCP would rule for a short while then "wither away". Seventy one years later, and the CCP is stronger and viler than ever. People who think that China will ever be just another nation like the rest have their heads firmly in the sand. Xi Jinping, like Mao Zedong, is a Red Emperor in the mold of emperors of two thousand years ago, when Confucianism was ousted in favour of Legalism. We haven't seen anything yet. China invented hegemony, and their intention is to cut Australia and South East Asia off from the country they regard as the current hegemon in Asia, the United States. As far as I know, the US vice President has been the only person to recognise this and say it publicly. But, everyone is too busy looking for faults in the President to listen.

I don't care how evil you make China out to be.
America's track record is disgusting and we should not serve their system or interests either.

AC,

What is so disgusting about America - as compared to China, in particular, the Chinese Communist Party? Do you see the democratic US, leader of the free world on a par with totalitarian China, which since the birth of the CCP has killed millions of its own people simply because thy dissented from the Communist line?

AC has never been able to get over his conspiracy theories and has demonstrated TDS for a long time. He went on to steroids when Trump moved the Israel embassy to Jerusalem after previous Presidents promised but were to gutless to do so. He would be much happier to have Obama or some other anti Israel President.

AC is part of the pro-China clique like LOUDmouth.
