Hmmm sooner or later, every Australian military personnel is going to have bounties in there heads, it’s just a matter of time.

Well, I realized that Australia is a total US satrapy when I heard about SILEX. For those who don't know about it, this is a process Australian researchers developed which allows to separate isotopes with lasers. A lot of people tried this in the 1980s with miserable results. But it looks like SILEX works. You can use it to separate uranium-235 much more efficiently than with a gas centrifuge. Given that Australia is a major world exporter of uranium yellow cake you would expect the government would be interested in this. But they weren't, they first declared it a secret, then basically shoved the researchers into signing off the rights of the process to a US company. There the US company basically replicated the process, showing it worked, and then years passed and the investment to scale up the process into production never happened. The US currently imports a lot of its uranium from Russia, delivered already enriched, and has limited enrichment facilities (less than China or even France). Now the researchers basically bought the rights back and they are supposed to setup a pilot plant in the US. The process is so efficient they are going to use it to enrich tailings (i.e. the stuff that's leftover after gas centrifuge enrichment). Supposedly. I wouldn't be surprised if the US company simply delayed until the patents lapsed and some US company "innovates" it. Meanwhile Australia is going to continue to export yellow cake as is, like it was Niger or something.

Hi gelgoog,

Are you currently living in Australia, I may need your opinion, I had a theory that since most White Australian are descendant either from Europe or recently America, they don't hold such attachment to there land (cause they had conquered it easily unlike the US). In case of trouble they can easily leave and settled in other 5eyes country with ease, a plan B just in case they were overwhelmed. In other words Australia and NZ is just an Anglo Saxon outpost in the Asia Pacific region.

Mostly from Europe and no there is no plan b, if the USA goes to hell, then not only will NZ be in the same situation but Canada doesnt really have much to do with Australia and the uk basically is too far away to give anything to Australia, if something happens to the uk, it would be the uk that will try to come to Australia, not the other way round. And the USA would be the worst place to go out of all the nations, and also to note is that no one living in Australia would willing want to go and settle anywhere else. I know this since I live in Australia.

Hi emblem21,

Thanks bro, well there goes my theory, I need to ask cause it baffled my mind the course of action Australia is currently doing. So unlike with NZ which is more sensible.

The Australians over at reddit already defending it as collateral damage.

What annoys me the most right now is the silence from Chinese Foreign Ministry. Where are the condemnations? Do i need to remind them that Anglo Nations literally jump at every minor thing possible when it comes to China. Why is China always on the defensive?
This was the right time to bust the so called "Australian Values" but alas no action.

Hi gelgoog,

Are you currently living in Australia, I may need your opinion, I had a theory that since most White Australian are descendant of criminals and outcasts either from Europe or recently America, they don't hold such attachment to there land (cause they had conquered it easily unlike the US). In case of trouble they can easily leave and settled in other 5eyes country with ease, a plan B just in case they were overwhelmed.

Fixed that for ya

An Aussie chick told me their ancestors are ”persecuted“ people.

Shut up. Really, it's come to a point where absolutely everything you write is an affront to reason; just shut up.
I haven't come across a single China-hater who's ever put forward anything resembling a cogent argument. I joke about "China Derangement Syndrome", but does your kind really have a mental disorder?

Lol, you look like the so-called "China-experts" from the west living in echo chamber where they are unable to accept being challenged, and calling every one "CCP Apologist". You are superficial.

Australians only know what their media told them "what China did" and "why China is doing them". So no, most of Australians don't know what is actually going on and what is coming if they keep on like this. This list serves as the condensed summary directly to the Australian population of what they have never heard from the Chinese perspective. This list serves to cut through the Australian media twisted reports.

And most Australians will believe their media saying China is trying to coerce Australia with this list.

Once the first shot is fired, everybody is entitled to shoot. Nothing is hypocritical anymore. Don't expect China to turn the other side face. If we were in a hot war, this list would be the official declaration of war after all the skirmishes, therefor the importance.

Yes. Hypocrisy is normal in inter-state relation. No issue with that. I don't expect China to turn the other side face, on the contrary.
If China want to shot back, they should just do it instead of vituperating and sending pointless list.

 

[escobar]

The release of the list is a statement that the Chinese government has given up on the China-Australia relationship.

Maybe, maybe not.

Normally issues are resolved behind closed doors, but this very public statement means the gloves are off. Australia is going to be a very visible example of what will happen if you actively work against China.

The gloves are off for a long time.
