Our government is certainly backing the US position on China, to defend Taiwan, keep China limited in the Pacific, so the threat is real.
I really hope there isn't any anti-chinese sentiment here. I have Chinese Australian friends, who are basically family after living with us for so long, that I care about. They are Australian citizens now and have trouble going back to China to see family.
yeah - clearly trying to use the first island chain as a containment mechanism on China
Most Australians don’t have a problem with Chinese people.
They take umbrage with their wealthy sending their kids to our Universities having faked their language tests, then the Unis forcing everyone in to group work where the Aussies are forced to carry the foreigners, degrading education entirely: nostr:note1rrrpah59y4wt27u8qclxru7tgjhmnjj9mtzdc70uk90szhm8uakq4cjexk
And with this being used as a back door to then launder money into the #HousingPonzi which has massive implications for young people who can’t afford to rent or buy.
But that’s not the people’s fault, that’s our own government. Most can understand the difference and I doubt with how feckless the narrative machine now is that they’d be successful in turning people en masse against Chinese here - they’re at much greater risk of people turning on the parasites themselves.
The education is pretty degraded already, but there should be higher checks and balances on language requirements.
What happened to the rules based order and the one China Policy?
Oh right this is America we ate talking about and its vassal states.
Rules for everyone else but not for us..
