Dear Foxy,

I am in a sort of agreement with Is Mise, that China is probably much more powerful than Japan ever was in relation to Australia. Yes, it would have to work its way through Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand, and other small nations before it got its troops etc. anywhere near Australia. Distance is one of our (perhaps illusory) protections.

Of course, like the Japanese, Chinese military forces wouldn't bother trying to seize Darwin and then trekking across 2,000-3,000 miles of desert, to get to Sydney, or to the much greater prize: Adelaide. Of course, like the Japanese, they would attempt a naval assault on the north-east coast, then the entire east coast.

During WW II, the Battle of the Coral Sea saved us from that invasion. But if China could set up naval bases in PNG or Fiji, we would be in trouble. And I don't think the Yanks would be much help.

But as long as there were Quislings like Misopinionated to talk down any rationale for resistance, the Chinese would be welcomed by some people here.

How? Australia is a pitifully weak nation and China has 2,035,000 soldiers whereas Australia has only 29,511 Regulars and 18,738 on the Active Reserve."

Answer- Nuclear Missiles

Hi Foxy,

Thanks for a very interesting thread.

Multiculturalism has been a rip-roaring success in Australia, post WWII seen millions of European refugee come to Australia. From my observations and experience, the first generation of new arrivals had difficulties, many not knowing the language found it hard to assimilate. The second generation with the advantage of schooling and more social interaction, were much more assimilated than their parents. By the time of the third generation came complete assimilation with the added bonus of multiculturalism.

There were tensions, particularly from some uneducated native born Australians with terms like, wog, dago, spick etc even the slang pommy bastards was often thrown about. The slogan "The wogs got all the houses" was given a airing often. Some Aussies believed the refo's were being given an undeserved advantage over them, it wasn't true. These people were not Asians but Europeans. I see a lot of parallels with immigration today, as it was back in the 50's and 60ls.

The comment about nuclear missiles, obviously coming from an old time wog basher!

Foxy,

If you think that only 12% of the country's population is Asian then I suggest you take a good walk around Sydney and Melbourne.

With your eyes open of course.

Actually I think that you and your boyfriend pseudo-mouth have developed some sort of psychological barrier to recognising the consequences of the Asianization process (aka Australian Multiculturalism) during the Great Asianizationperiod (1980-2020) in Australian history.

I would like to hear from others - who don't suffer the psychological 'blindness' of Foxy and pseudo-mouth - about their estimates of the numbers of Asian people in Sydney and Melbourne.

For example, from my observations, Asians account for at least 65% of the city's population.

Anyone like to tell me their estimates for Sydney or Melbourne?

I'm a migrant & I'm perplexed why people who claim to "escape" from one country then impose the way of the country they fled on people here !
I migrated for a different reason, I came to see the GBR. I didn't run away from a troubled country although it is now because of "refugees" with iphones to there !
Here, it's Australians who sell the soil from under their own feet to anyone who flashes a Banknote, no matter if it's Asian or other !
The one thing with many non-caucasian migrants is that they multiply very quickly & are now gradually turning this country into the same as the ones they 'fled" from.
I can see why they do that but that doesn't make it less insidious & stupid !

Like in the general community, its only a very small percentage of the immigrant population that are trouble, that's to be expected. Those convicted of serious crime, then after doing jail, we have the option of deporting non citizens back to where they came from.

Australia's economic success, post WWII, is very much down to immigration.

Indy, on another tread you put yourself forward as an AMERICAN! What's the go with that?
