Chris,

Do you think the CCP encouraged its nationals to migrate to Australia as a goodwill gesture?

More realistically in the light of the truths coming out about China it's more likely that they were sent here to colonise Australia, creating a pro-China enclave that could pressure our politicians, bureaucrats and business people to be subservient to China's whims.

I think China's plans would have worked if the WuFlu pandemic hadn't come along. It stopped China short of its ambitions and has turned most of the First World against it. (After falling out of use after 1989 I think the terms First, Second and Third Worlds will come back into fashion in the wake of the WuFlu pandemic.)

That is an interesting question.

just what is the sentiment of chinese living in Austalia, i would be fascinated to know.

my gut feeling is not as cynical as yours Mr O, but nothing would surprise me.

It appears that this discussion has veered way off topic
and has now run its course. I'd like to Thank everyone
who took the time to contribute.

I look forward to seeing you all on another discussion.
I may even start one on China - to keep this conversation
going.

A new discussion would be more appropriate on this topic
elsewhere.

Again - Thanks to all.

Well I've started a discussion on China - whether people
see the country as an invader and a threat and whether
co-existence is possible in our future.

Go and post to that discussion if the subject is of
interest and more importantly where you see our future
lies.

Foxy,

Do you think there is any chance that Andrew Forrest might put his two bits in?After all he does have a lot at stake and I think keeping China in the good books would certainly be to his advantage.

Mr O,

Why don't you contact his office?
