Paul1405,

The LNP has stuffed up big time with its handling of Australia's relations with China and unless they make Gladys Liu, who is a former(?) affiliate of the CCP, Prime Minister I don't like their chances of getting re-elected even if one of the Three Stooges is leader of the Labor Party.

China now has it in for Soot and the Boyz and it will keep turning the screws to ensure that every voter is anxious to get rid of them come the next election and replace them with anyone who looks like they could get China back on board.

But there is hope if Soot decides to follow Mr Opinion's 10 point plan to placate the Chinese:

1. Permit Huawei to operate unrestricted in Australia.
2. Rescind proposed federal legislation aimed at preventing Victoria and WA from signing up to China's Belt & Road Initiative.
3. Allow the Chinese to have unrestricted purchase rights to Australian industries and natural resources.
4. Ban Australian media from saying anything derogatory about China's strategic policies.
5. Withdraw Australian military from exercises in the South China Sea.
6. Rescind any alliances Australia has with the US and Japan.
7. Cease commenting on Chinese ambitions for Hong Kong and Taiwan becoming unified with the PRC.
8. Permit free migration for tens of millions of Chinese to Australia and allow them access to Australian business and property markets at a 50% discount.
9. Elevate former(?) affiliate of the CCP Gladys Liu to the position of Leader of the Liberal Party and Prime Minister of Australia.
10. Make Soot and the Boys crawl naked on their hands and knees to Emperor Xi and kiss his feet and plead for his forgiveness.

And if it doesn't work well they can always fall back on making Gladys Liu, former(?) affiliate of the CCP, Leader of the Liberal Party and the PM.

It's the only win-win situation they're likely to see for a long time.

Mr. Opinion,

Are we ever going to see evidence of all that higher education you have bragged about since you arrived? All that is visible is that you can read and write (although it often seems that you haven't correctly read what other posters have written).

Australia's enemy - apart from its own politicians - is the Chinese Communist Party, not Chinese people, most of whom are not members of the CCP, nor Chinese immigrants, many of whom are escaping Hong Kong and hate the CCP - just as many of the poor buggers confined to mainland China must hate the CCP.

ttbn,

I'm having too much fun to do what you ask of me.

Interesting point you make about the members of the CCP not being Chinese. Might be a bit hard to prove though.

You seem to be of the opinion that the only people in China who support the members of the CCP are the members of the CCP themselves.

I suppose you also think that the only people in the UK who support the British royal family are the members of the royal family themselves. Or that the only people who support the US Congress are the congressmen themselves.

It is the Chinese nation-state that you should be concerned with and this includes both State and Society in China.

Don't be fooled into thinking that the members of the CCP are acting independently of the nation. The Chinese people will go to war for the nation-state in which they see Xi as the Head of State, which is basically their war leader.

Why do you think we retain the Queen as our Head of State? She is our war leader behind whom we will rally to defend the nation-state.

Every nation needs a war leader and that role is embodied in the Head of State. You can trace this concept back through history if you want to test it.

I did not envisage 'China' or 'Chinese' being mentioned. The thread is about the quality of Australian politicians and what hope we have with any of them.

You, Mr. Opinion, have demonstrated your oft failure to read what other people write. I said most Chinese people are not members of the CCP, not most CCP members are not Chinese. Perhaps you do have a reading disability that you generally manage to hide with blather.

You are clearly obsessed with the Chinese. There seems to be no subject that you can't squeeze them into. You have even invented huge numbers of Chinese immigrants, when the last census shows that a mere 5.6% of Australians, about 1.2 million own to Chinese ancestry. Quite a lot of those would be descendants of gold miners who arrived here before the Opinion family did. One Chinamen arrived here as a free settler in 1818; the rest came in the 1850s. From 2008 to 2019, under 30,000 Chinese came to live permanently in Australia.

We are not overrun by Chinese, and we never will be. Any Chinese military aggression towards Australia would result in world war. So far, Morrison has told the CCP where to get off, and China's only friends are totalitarian shitholes.

Now, try to be useful. With our poor quality politicians, what hope does Australia have?

ttbn,

Point 10 of my plan to placate the Chinese has Soot and the Boyz crawling around naked on their hands and knees and kissing Xi's feet.

What more could you want?

Australia's destiny is now inextricably tied to China and I believe that inevitably China will dominate Australia and populate the country with tens of millions of its citizens, creating a super-colony the likes of which the world has never seen.

And I think it will be a lot sooner than later.

Your figure of 5.6% Australians are Chinese might actually be accurate. But what you are failing to take into account is that another 10% of people residing in Australia might be Chinese who are not Australians (i.e., Chinese who are not Australian citizens and can actually be classed as foreign residents.) That might make sense as to the reason there are so many Chinese on the streets of Sydney: most of them are not Australians and therefore not showing up in the census.

This is probably the group hiding all the Chinese spies and operatives who are in readiness for when Xi calls them into action.

And it's all the fault of people like you for not vetting them when you allowed them to come here.

Only one way out of this dilemma ttbn. We just have to send Soot and the Boyz to Beijing to pay naked homage to Xi. It's our only way out.

Misopinionated,

I'm beginning to see where you're coming from:

* You can accurately judge the proportions of populations by those on the streets;

* a high proportion of people on Sydney's (or Adelaide's) streets are of people who are students and/or people who live and work in the cities, usually in service occupations;

* a high proportion of those who use the streets of cities are students - all manner of Asian students, with perhaps a clear majority of whom are young and female;

So:

* a high proportion of people using our streets are Asians who are Chinese, young and female, as well as students. This is because a high proportion of all Asians from Yemen to Japan, from Yakutia to Sri Lanka, are young, female Chinese students and service-workers.

Okay, got it now. I think. No, wait a minute .....
