China is certainly capable trying military aggression against the West; but there have been some interesting reports about the PLA concerning:

Poor management
Poor skills
Faulty equipment
The largest bribes received, not the best quality, for purchasing equipment
Tanks with starting problems in cold weather
Guns going bang, but nothing coming out of the barrel
Poor education and technical knowledge of troops.

ttbn,

Maybe that's why China and Russia came out just over a week ago to announce their defensive/offensive pact. (Stalin was in a militarily weak position vis-a-vis Hitler when he signed the Germano-Russian pact that resulted in the invasion of Poland. Hmmm ....... What worked for Stalin might just work for Xi?)

Or should we turn a blind eye as Foul-Mouth, Foxy, and others in the pro-China camp would like us to do?

Chris Lewis says we shouldn't worry because it is only the machinations of the Chinese Communist Party but he tries to delude us into thinking that the CCP is just a handful of old codgers instead of 91 million politicians who are actively supported by over 800 million Chinese nationalists who will fight to the death for their ancestral homeland.

Who fights to the death for their homeland? The Germans never did so for Hitler's Germany. The Japanese never did so for their empire under Hirohito. So why would the Chinese nation-state do so under Emperor Xi?

So we've got nothing to worry about. It's all so simple. So let's all close our eyes and bury our heads in the sand just like Foul-Mouth, Foxy and Chris Lewis suggest and just keep building up our numbers of non-Australian Chinese.

Mr Opinion responded on 23 December

"You reckon "Gee - we are talking about degrees - or lack of - or of such relevance. Is this what we are now reduced to?"

Only some of us are lucky enough to be able to do this. Why, are you feeling left out?"

Response to post - apologies for delay (scammers) - no I don't feel left out at all.

Aussies must join with with all Western Alliances in unity against China's manipulation of trade.

What then, is the worth of a "free trade agreement"?

Canem Malum - you state

"During WWII we thought our enemy was Hitler and Japan- after the war we realised the threat of Communism that still exists today- WWII lasted for 7 years- the Cold War in a sense never ended still going 70 years on."

Response - correct.

Since China was admitted into WTO it has continued to monopolise same, however the "big world powers" continue to permit such monopoly - Why?

The South China sea - via International Court was deemed a "free passage" for World trade - not so by China who have completely ignored such rule...... and building their own structures.

So my question being - how can a country total ignore a High Court judgment.

Why also are Chinese students in Australia at Universities "monitored" by China?

Why are there certain "com cars" - as reported via Australian newspapers - checking on Aussie Chinese students.'

Any Chinese student in Australia - must "bend" to China's code and not able to have a "voice" in Australia to protest any China issue, lest their family members are watched or detained.

Yes we have a Free Trade Agreement with China, however since the China Wuhan Virus (released across the World) and Australia seeking an "independent" inquiry (including many other countries) as to origins of same, Australia has had increased tariffs imposed on many goods from Australia.

CDC in America in 2018 advised China that Wuhan Laboratory not up to standard. Readers go back and check information.

In 2019 Wuhan Lab closed for two weeks during August/September 2019 with no telephone connection - why. Research for yourself.

Medical staff advised China prior to December 2019 as to a "virus strain". The WHO weren't advised until much later Jan/Feb. - Research for yourself.

I have so many other questions....still unanswered.

China state that they will be World Leaders by 2028 - if that's so, Australia and the rest of the world will be in serious trouble, and need to take action now.

Thanks for your feedback Saints.

Response - maybe - just maybe we, (and) all Australians and Government agencies need to wake up.

It's not as if there no amount of evidence as to my previous text.

Seriously
