I didn't want to encourage him but now that Isaac has left I can say that I agree with many of his concerns about China. Nobody will convince me that a percentage of Chinese here do not have their main allegiance to china and are even willing to spy for them. Even a small percentage adds up to quite a large number.
What I don't agree with is his black and white approach, stop all trade with them, good way to make Australia a third way country Very difficult problem, express disapproval of their actions while maintaining a good trade relationship. No problem for red Dan Andrews though, he has signed up for the belt and road programme, all about money is our Dan , principles be damned

I dont see China as a for or against issue, but as a reality.
They are our biggest trade partner and we live in their sphere of influence. China is something we have to manage pragmatically, deal with and trade with... not necessarily like or dislike.

But we can dislike and try to protect ourselves against their actions, infiltrating universities, parliament, exerting monetary pressure on people of influence, hacking and spying, buying up vast tracts of land,businesses, real estate etc ,etc.
Just as we do with any other country, just that china seems to be the most active in that sphere at present.

Absolutely, managing the relationship includes all that stuff. It is just a shame that our main partner in security has become a very unreliable friend, demanding we do things against our interests and withdrawing from major partnerships we rely on.
Another 5 years of the current US administration will fundamentally change our position in the world and test us to the limit.

... you mean you are hoping for another 5 years of the current US administration - in the same way the the people of Hong Kong are, to protect our sovereignty from the "Yellow Peril".

Our biggest threat to sovereignty still comes from the ''transactional'' (corrupt)LNP |

And so the plot thickens even further. If she's not a Chinese Government plant I'll be hugely surprised.
The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald on Wednesday reveal that Ms Liu secured access to the federal government for a company and Liberal Party donor that was endorsed by the Chinese Communist Party and later implicated in a major organised crime probe.

Mo doubt a percentage of Chinese here have their homeland's interest at heart and would be willing to spy and infiltrate for their despotic government.
Enormous problem to overcome whilst still trying to maintain good relationship with our leconomic lifeline

Really disappointed Isaac appears in semi retirement, he could more than justifiably be making hay right now.

Isaac is at the top of his game when he can link Labor to China. With this being all Libs, he is not interested.

Fun fact: Coronavirus has been around for thousands of years and most people get it at some stage of their lives and were around long before Chinese were screwing Koalas or the Murdoch media disinformation machine. PS I am old enough to remember when a predecessor of this virus SARS didn't wipe out half the world's population despite Murdoch trying their best to convince us it would.

Sausage dog rescued from meat trade will fly to Florida to meet his new family
Read more: https://metro.co.uk/2020/01/28/sausage-dog-rescued-meat-trade-will-fly-florida-meet-new-family-12136997/?ito=cbshare Twitter: https://twitter.com/MetroUK | Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MetroUK/ One-year-old dachshund Wally was found in a meat market in China, scared, lonely, and shivering in -10°C temperatures. He was destined to be killed and sold as a meal, but was lucky to be rescued in time by animal charity Plush Bears Rescue, who bought the sausage dog for £26 after spotting him for sale next to a collection of dog furs in Taonan. After a month spent recovering at the charity’s rescue centre, Wally is now getting ready to fly over to the US and meet his new family in Florida. Shelter volunteer Callum Zhenyi, 36, said: ‘I first saw Wally tied up to a motorbike next to his owner who was selling big dog furs displayed like rugs on the floor. ‘One of the other volunteers had seen a dachshund on their last trip and not saved it and they regretted that deeply.
