Foul-Mouth,

Here's an article saying how China owns in Australia:

http://www.news.com.au/finance/economy/australian-economy/how-much-of-australia-does-china-own/news-story/a0a710be9cbd78923c7500c147f4e764

Does it look like 5.7% Chinese ownership?

ANY Chinese ownership of ANYTHING in Australia is too much. We are still waiting for the 'promised' legislation that will see curbs put on Chinese ownership of Australia. The same rules should apply to all foreign countries, but China is particularly
EVIL. We also need to start acting as one country, not a collection of tin pot dictatorships the states have become.

Misop,

Yes, half-wit, that's the article that I cited. Thank you for corroborating its validity.

Another thing that must stop this utter bullshite about how 'wonderful' ordinary Chinese people in Australia are, and how much they have 'contributed' to the country. They are neither wonderful nor big contributors to anything but themselves and baby formula supplying to China and the toilet paper manufacturers.

The rabbits who talk such guff and call some of us 'racists' are themselves preaching racial stereotyping.

The old one about Chinese being here since the goldrush days is also crap. All sorts of people came here then, and it was a different world and certainly a very different China.

Foul-Mouth,

My God you have a foul mouth.

That's what gives you away as not being a scholar.

I'm curious about your background. You're definitely no Arts graduate but it's obvious you have read a lot on the Arts things like history, anthropology, philosophy, archaeology, sociology, etc.

I suppose if being a wannabe Arts graduate makes you happy then that's the main thing.

The Prime Minister and the Foreign Affairs Minister
gave some very meaningful speeches the other day
in front of Parliament House in Canberra, answering
all sorts of questions about Australia's future,
including its relationship with China. One thing
was made clear was the fact that Australia would
look to its interests first and foremost and that
we were not going to be dictated to by anybody. That
our relationship with China is to our mutual benefit,
and that diplomatic relationships were going to be
encouraged. But Australia was not going to be dictated
to by anybody.

At the same time - the contributions of Australian
Chinese to this country was also acknowledged. After
all Australia is a nation of immigrants - history speaks
for itself despite the vehement denials of the ignorant and
the one-eyed.
