Mr O,

Doesn't the article confirm the point being made that
Australian Chinese do not support the CCP. It's a
different case for those from mainland China. They've
been indoctrinated. But hopefully they may change
under Western influence. As for the actions of the
CCP in Hong Kong - that was to be expected. That's
what the CCP does.

So what's your point? Nothing new is being presented
by you. You're just going around in circles singing
from the same old hymn book and beating the same old
drum

We get it!

Foxy,

The point I got from the news item is that there are some Chinese in Australia who act to do others harm in the name of the Chinese nation-state.

I believe these people are probably agents and operatives of the Chinese state with permanent residency or citizenship status whose purpose is to undermine those who do not comply to China's initiatives.

Question: Why are we harbouring Chinese agents under the guise of migrants?

Mr O,

Instead of just asking questions - how about you offering
some solutions?

Australia is the most China-reliant economy in the
developed world with about a third of its exports going
there.

Chinese Nationals make up roughly 38% of its foreign
students and 15 % of its tourists.

Perhaps what we need to do is question whether our nation
is TOO reliant on the Asian behemoth.

Foxy,

I think it is now too late to offer solutions.

Stan Grant has pointed out the crux of the problem, along with others like Niall Ferguson. That being the rise of China as a nation-state. The very political entity that has already brought two world wars in its wake.

And one of the aspects of the rise of it as a nation-state is its imperialism. Germany saw its Lebensraum in the lands of Slavic Europe and I think China sees its Lebensraum to its south especially in Australia.

I think it has just dawned on Scott Morrison et al that China has extraterritorial ambitions to expand its imperial interests and create a revitalised Chinese empire under the CCP.

But it's too late for solutions. The wheels are already in motion and the behemoth is unstoppable.

who cares what some others think. they merely offer their opinions.

It is never too late.

Get on board Mr O and show some guts and confidence.

Mr O,

Well then by your scenario - should we simply do
nothing? Is that what you're saying when you say
it's too late for solutions?

It sounds to me that yours is a very unsatisfactory
approach and all you're really interested in doing is
fearing mongering.

Not good enough - in my books.

Offer some solutions as to what Australia should do.
Otherwise what's your point in this discussion (apart from
fear mongering).
