Foxy,

Do you know what percentage of the survey sample was Chinese? I bet you don't and I doubt if the Lowy Institute would ever tell you.

Take the poll results with a grain of salt Foxy.

Keep in mind Frank Lowy is a multibillionaire with vested interests in global economic and financial structures that are linked to sovereign states outside of Australia. I think it would be in his interest to have poll results that support his business interests.

Dear Foxy,

While I absolutely condemn any anti-Asian sentiments, China is at present, just like Nazi Germany back then, the most belligerent and dangerous enemy of both its own people and the rest of the world.

While we MUST be terribly concerned about China, this has nothing to do with ethnicity or them being Asian. Take Taiwan for example: same race, but what a difference, indeed Taiwan are our friends!

What the world is facing, far from being history's first (take Egypt's Pharaohs for example), is a monstrous emperor, along with his supporting elite, that aspires to be treated as God and cannot tolerate anyone, anywhere, worshiping another. The stronger he feels, the more he oppresses and tightens the screws against religion, ANY religion other than his own worship: the Buddhists of Tibet, the Falun-Gong, the Uighur Muslims, now the Christians - none may escape his jealousy of their God.

Not only should we, people of faith in God, make economic sacrifices to isolate this monster and his worshiping CCP cult, but even sacrifice our lives if necessary to stop that evil.

For me Australia should set a course of independent non-alignment, tear up the so called ANZUS treaty, expel all foreign troops from Australian shores. We should limit military spending to self defence purposes only. The best defence for Australia is to foster good economic and human relations with the umbrella of nations in our region including China. Non-alignment would bring us respect on the world stage, a voice to be listened to witch has independent opinions, not as some toady of the Americans, as we are seen by many others now.

Mr O, a bit of history; did you know, with the outbreak of war with Japan, the Americans interned people of Japanese ancestry living on the west coast USA. Some couldn't understand why, as many seen themselves as Americans, several generations, some even served in the US army and fought in the war. They didn't do the same with those on the east coast. Just as many Jews in Germany mistakenly thought they would be safe from the NAZI's as they were German, having served in WWI etc. How wrong they were.

BTW; Did you see ScumO' is doubling the cost to students of Arts degrees; while reducing that of the more practical courses.

Paul1405,

There were 142,000 Japanese in Hawaii at the start of the Pacific War.

The US government asked them to show their loyalty to America and about 2,000 enlisted in the US military.

The US government wanted to transport the rest to the mainland but never got around to it. They were interned on the islands for the duration of the war.

After the war only about 60,000 remained in the islands.

Rubbish.

China, under an authoritarian regime, is indeed a threat to humanity in every way.

And the world knows it, hence the growing backlash which should and will escalate into a serious Cold War at best.

Bring it on

Seriously, how can any sane person have a kind view of authoritarian China?

Mr O, master arts scholar and student, please explain why some appear optimistic about China.

I am simply dumbfounded by these soft views.
