  1. The talk of intrusion into Taiwan's Air Defence Zone by Chinese military aircraft, is absolute nonsense, as this Zone, which is only bring touted by the U.S., covers a substantial part of the Chinese mainland. As can be seen on many of the maps shown by western media, all these flights were in international airspace. However, it is okay for two U.S. and one British aircraft carriers along with an amarda of support ships to sail through the strait separating Taiwan and the mainland. It would therefore be apparent that whilst these ships remain in this area to intimidate China, the PLA airforce is likely to continue these sorties. As for the use of the word "autocratic or autocracy", which is often used to describe China, it is time to think again. Yes, China has a single party government, which is headed by a secretary general, whom the west has given the name President, and results in the automatic use of this President being an autocrat. In actual fact, the governance of China is not much different to the west, other then there is little standing in the way of decision making. Let me remind you of the autocracy of almost every western nation whilst in a pandemic. You may not work, you must stay home, you are only allowed out for "x" number of hours per day, etc, etc, etc., at different levels of government. Also in the case of Australia, an Australian citizen must seek government approval to enter the country, and will likely be placed on a waiting list, with further covenants on arrival, regardless of where they have been. So think again before using this word to describe others who may have a different form of governance, simply to portray to the viewers a negative image of that country.
