What is all this about Chinese aggression and so called expansion? China is in a constant state of self defense. Why, because Australia does not agree with China's ideology. China's ideology is not being pushed onto the rest of the world, as it is unique to only China. It is only the west, and in particularly speaking of war, not in China. China wants to expand as an economic power, and its military expansion has been built for self defense capabalities. Time for the west to wake up, and in particular to American propaganda, moving from one situation to another, starting with Hong Kong, Tibet, Xinjiang and now Taiwan. Remember who was behind financing problems in Tibet, then Hong Kong, and if they had their way, the East Turkenstan Democracy Movement (which is alikened to financing al-Qaeda) in Xinjiang. Of course America has made a mint from selling military hardware to Taiwan, so to incite it any further is good for American arms manufacturing. Wake up Australia! We have nothing to gain and everything to lose, being led by supposed narrow minded experts, brandishing threats of war. They are totally irresponsible.

To all the conspiracy theorists! The theories of 5G as a threat came from Russia, by its internet television network RT. Check it out and learn the truth. We began with 2G, then 3G, then 4G, and now 5G, however the average lifespan continues to increase. Only one country has 5G, as most of the world has fallen behind. America wants to be the country to control and roll out 5G, which it currently does not have, so will do everything it can, including lie, deceit and deception. This is the source of misinformation. Power comes from money, and America wants to control it.

Let's be clear, Fan Bing Bing was found guilty of tax fraud, not evasion, which has nothing to do with your subject matter, and not related to a single event. It involved hundreds of millions of dollars from overseas,
FYI, all trains have provisions for wheelchairs, so these people are not invisible, and i have seen many. I have also seen many other people with disabilities in public, however there are many who remain home.
The report on the hypersonic missile is only that, just a report, totally unconfirmed, so should at this point, not even be a point of discussion. This was even beyond the knowledge of China's mainstream media, the Global Times, as confirmed here.

It is apparent that there are many lunatics in Australian Media, who seem to be oblivious to anything happening beyond the Australian Border. Believe a man like Fauci, they are believing an apprentice. Instead, learn from someone like Zhong Nanshan, who was both the expert on SARS and Covid19. Hey, he understands English. None of these commentators understand or have any notion of this virus. It is extremely contagious, and can kill within two weeks, depending on the inoculin received. I live in China, have been watching this in China and overseas since 3rd January. I cannot believe the lack of support by the media, who seem to be preoccupied with clickbait, and have behaved irresponsibly. Oh, it should not be called Social Distancing, because there is nothing social about it. It would be more apt to call it Physical Distancing! This is its purpose.

Let's think about the performance of Morrison and his Government from the country's position prior to his takeover.
He has clearly demonstrated anti China behaviour following briefings from the U.S., along with his favourite buddy, Peter Dutton (the Minister for War), and call him that because that is all he thinks about as Minister for Defence. Dutton has visited Washington on at least three separate ocassions, fir briefings at the White House, starting as Minister for Home Affairs. How many times has he been to or contacted China to fact check this briefing information. ZERO! The same goes for Morrison, who has had much opportunity, but no action.
As a result of his verbal diarrhea, lets not forget a Victorian Premier who had a similar problem, Australia has lost minimally a billion dollars worth of trade with China, with a relationship which has moved from Australian Naval ships visiting Chinese Ports, and military interaction between the two countries, to absolutely no contact between the two countries, other then to subscribe to abuse and accusation without fact checking and verification.
So what did Australia lose? As widely reported, 600 million dollars of Barley sales (now being supplied by the U.S.), a large quantity of beef sales (but not entirely, much of which is now supplied by the U.S.), Western Australian Rock Lobster (Tasmanian lobster was not included as a banned product), Australian Wine (which is loved by many chinese people), Black coal (but not entirely), and potentially LPG, for which China is Australias biggest customer, (which will likely be replaced with gas from new fields in Kazakhstan or somewhere close to this region). At no time during any period has any minister from the government gone to China to address these issues with the Chinese Government. So who has benefited and who has not. Clearly the U.S. has gained an additional billion dollars worth of sales, France has gained substantially with wine sales, with a spread of other countries gaining other sales, all of which is a net loss to mainly Primary Industry. Further, due to AUKUS, we are now an enemy of France. I am sure further advances with the anti China rhetoric every possible moment in Parliament could advance Australia's position with China to no imports at all.
There are numerous other issues that could be cited, but most importantly what is missing is communication, and the China hate (it can be heard in Morrison's parliamentary question time) should cease. Australia's position should be one of how do we recover what is lost, and what did we get from the U.S. as a result of being their lapdog? Likely U.S. military bases in the Northern Territory. This will make Australia the 51st State of the U.S., or has everyone missed that possible scenario? Think about it!
