I don't get the exchange going on in this thread. Did PT pretend somewhere along the way that he's ok with China taking over Oz? Wouldn't surprise me, but all I've read from him seems to say that he hates the idea of it. (The racist bustard.)

This is Isaac's little game. He says I said or implied something to get me to bite.

That doesn't make sense. I'm sure that people who would like to discuss the china situation could do without your silly ego games that clog up the topic.

Mine? I have engaged with Isaac throughout this thread, but if it isn't about China bashing it is ignored.

Isaac is entitled to his (or should one say the Spectator's) opinion.  And he may have reason to be Sinophobic.

However tell that to his Conservative mates in his home state of West Australia who are iron-fisted in their support for the Peoples Republic of China. Wink

So you are saying you are not interested in discussion, just squaring up for all the mean anti Trump posts?

Is that normal?

I think the Betoota Advocate's provocative article about Chinese buying up all of our baby formula brought him around stayer.Try to be empathetic though, it's a difficult conflicted life when you've been brain washed by the Regressive Left you know! 

Love Gays and Islam?

Hate Coal in the inner city, Love it in the mining towns?

Wacko
In reference to every post in the Trump thread ... "There may have been a tiny bit of license taken there" ... Ok, Thanks for the "heads up" PT!

pt ive asked a number of times why does china see a need to become the top dog, and you wont "engage" in that discussion.

i suppose you dont know, even after all the reading you do of chinese sites.

PT, not like you to miss the Ermm and Wacko icons. 

Or maybe the implicit irony more than enough.  Tongue

Isn't the answer simple? Does PT never answer it? If he doesn't, I can't blame you for badgering him. A straight answer, and agreememnt by all (?) that obviously China wants to expand its power, might lead to some discussion about it.

Isaac, the answer to that question is the question I asked you last night that you dismissed with a throw away comment You repeated it today and I repeated that it is a demographics issue for them. Judge argued the obvious self interest argument, but you aren't interested in anything that doesn't fit your evil Chinese conquering and cruelly dominating the planet narrative.

Who said this?

Has it occurred to anyone that trump, kim, putin, xi and kimmy might all be focusing on what they see as best for their own respective nations? 

Why doesn't the same apply in this case?

Because pt is less than informative re china have to get my info from somewhere, usually headlines on Australian news sites. make for fascinating reading.

Sixty Minutes had a little piece as well but pt dismissed it after 3 minutes.

China has an aged population problem, due in large part to their one child policy. There are several ways of dealing with it. Here we let a lot of skilled immigrants take up the slack to maintain our level of economic growth, although it is slipping.

 Africa has a similar population to China and is expected to double by 2050 with a very large percentage of their countries populations under 30. China are taking advantage of African countries desire to grow their economies and are using the continent as a means of investment in cheap labour so they dont have to grow their own population quickly to 2 billion to catch up. Africa is close to a huge market in Europe so it makes sense for them to do what they are doing.

No-one, I repeat no-one, with any claim to intelligence has made a point of watching 60 Minutes for at least two decades. 

And that goes for informed people of any political bent, be it right, left or centre.
