  10. If China is a lender to developing nations. It must not, be one itself. So time for us to stop subsidizing. Their parcel delivery, and postal rates. Levelling that playing field. Would give small, and home based businesses elsewhere, a chance to compete. They can ship small items around the world for free. Using the target nations postal service. While we can’t mail within our own town, for that price.

  11. Ten years ago, I was in Beijing. Back then the property prices made no sense. They were far too high, considering. Cheap land, cheap materials, cheap labour, leased title, and poor quality build.

  20. Anything that slows the build of coal plants, is good. Unless it’s nuclear, built with the usual level of corruption.

  21. We could go by the yuan dynasty. If cherry picking, from old times. It was all Mongolia.

  22. The lack of follow through on serious issues. Gives Beijing a free hand, to carry on. It’s not just by Australia, but by everyone. Teamwork is required, to make real changes.

  23.  @xhagast  The picking a wing off a fly, kind of humour. Or an unfortunate 28 yr old.

  24. Judge them on what they do. Not on what they say.

  25. Such a shame, that a peaceful prosperous democratic country. With the highest happiness and freedom rating in Asia, has to do this. Why do the CCP, have to be such a-holes.

  26.  @skydragon23101979  The world, in different ways. You have heard of debt diplomacy? Bribe, or entrap officials, to accept ,and sell to their people. Infrastructure projects, or signing over resources, to the Chinese state. China brings it's own people over to build the projects, it's own camps, and merchants. This way, the money returns to China, rather than enriching the locals. The locals are left with crippling debt, and propaganda, saying China did something for them.  This would include, a lot of the global south. While you are down there, ask them, who took all the fish?

  32. When the people get mad at the government. What is the tried and true remedy? Unify them with an enemy, and if need be, a kinetic war. (The unconventional kind, has been going on for a long time)

  41. Yes, culturally they are different. From the Americans, and the Chinese. The Taiwanese, are very grounded, spiritual and polite. Having been to China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. It seems part of their way of being, is turtle. In regards to dealing with a large bully. Don’t flag wave, and hopefully you get ignored. Out last them. When there I couldn’t find any pro Taiwan souvenirs, and only saw the flag a couple of times. Support them in whatever manner they need. It would be tragic, to have this traditional yet modern culture revolutioned.

  42. Why do we buy products? From a country that strategically undercuts market after market. Till the competition is so crippled. That they then end up with a monopoly. Are we going to open our doors, to their EV’s?

  43. The Narcissist"s playbook. There's a catchy little rhyme, that goes with it?

  47. How do you count a continuous culture? If it keeps changing. Mao officially cut of the old culture in 1949. The Mongolians did it too, when they were “visiting”.

  48. Better late, than not at all. Now, liberate the South China Sea. Get rid of, Chinese surveillance.

  49. But, will they stand behind, the Philippines and Taiwan.

  50. Freedom for the occupied territories. Freedom of association, and religion. Focus on a healthy China, and international friendship. Instead of colonialism, and an expanding military. Be like Taiwan. The world will love you again.
