Not all Chinese live in China, Australia has residents identifying themselves as having Chinese ancestry at the 2016 census of 5.6% of the population and numbered 1,213,903. You will find their family culture and practices very similat to the homeland.

If you look at the culture it is not merely communism that is the basis of their survival, it is their patriarchal system to quash anything they believe creates disunity in the family - the famy Nation. They have moved somewhat from Maoist communism, to a Chinese culture of Communism. We would consider some of their practises as violating human rights, but they see it as maintaining the unity of the Nation. It is very much the senior male dominated society, and he controls the family, home, community, Nation to keep the peace.

Democracies arise until one ideology creates dominance and violates the rights of others and civil unrest occurrs. Democrasy can only survive if each party understands the other and respects the other, but human nature being what it is wants to rule the other and destroy the other.

There are up to 60 million Chinese living in countries other than mainland China, and the Mao-like Xi Jinping regards them all as part of the CCP'S crusade against the West. What the individual Chinese think is another matter, but those with relatives, friends or other interests still in China don't have much choice but to serve the CCP. How stupid are these Western multiculturalist politicians!

In 2018, 52% of Australians trusted China. In 2020, only 23% trusted China. According to the Lowy Institute, “Almost all Australians would like to see diversification in order to reduce the economic dependence on China, and most would support imposing travel and financial sanctions on Chinese officials associated with rights abuse”.

No longer can western nations treat China as a mongrel or a leper, to be shunned and dismissed, or exploited at will. China is no longer the sick child of Asia, but has emerged as both an economic powerhouse and a dominant military entity. China's history shows its unity under various dynasties with strong rulers, and an even stronger form of autocratic government. China has never aspired to any form of democracy as we understand it to be, but has relied on dictatorial leadership, be it emperors or Communists like Mao Zedong or todays Xi Jinping.

To the question; Should we accept China as Big Brother? As one who believes Australia should be a nonaligned nation, the answer is an emphatic NO! Our relationship with the United States shows we are poorer for the experience. Both Australia and the US are in invidious positions regarding China. The Americans with their declining long term economy and Australia with its long term reliance on China as a trading partner we both have difficulties with an expanding economic and military China.

ttbn, China like Islam does not see individual civil human rights as we in the West. to them individual freedoms is a sign of disunity and divisivness that must be reeducated or eradicated. Taking action on human rights abuses is an insult to them and a sign of weakness in cooperation. To them it is like punishing the disruptive child in the family, to us it is like tolerating the disruptive child.

Has Australia been weak in allowing other Nations to emerge within our Nation, including third world cultures and communism? Should we have taken more action to reeducate on our values? Australia has become non identifiable as a unified culture and values. Do you think we have too many cultures represented by women in our Parliament that do not respect the National cultural values?
