The Australian government has today celebrated the first day of their withdrawal from an 8 year losing conflict in Afghanistan by immediately trying to pick a fight with an even more powerful adversary known for its ability to build entire cities in a week.
“Yes we may have failed to win a war with a ramshackle government in the middle east despite the support of the world’s largest military, but I’m sure taking on China would be a walk in the park,” declared Peter Dutton today before breaking down in tears over some mean tweets. “Just because we lost the Korean War, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Gallipoli, and that war against a bunch of flightless birds, doesn’t mean it won’t be eighth time lucky.”
However, some Australians have held out some reservations, expressing war with China might not be the smartest geopolitical move. “Fucking what!?!” said one impartial observer. “Yea sure, we can’t even build a fucking submarine or a helicopter than can fly at night but lets pick a fight with the world’s largest standing army and a cyber army that could cripple our power network in two minutes. I’m sure that’ll go really well for a country that can’t even roll out cable internet without fucking it up.”
“If anybody wants me I’m taking an indefinite holiday in New Zealand.”
Lmao this Xinjiang event only involves Western nations. "The World" according to them.
"Some Western forces hyping up the so-called Xinjiang-related issues are actually launching unprovoked attacks on China to serve their own ulterior motives," Adama Compaoré, Burkina Faso's ambassador, was quoted as saying at the event in March dubbed Xinjiang in the Eyes of African Ambassadors to China.
The event was also attended by Sudan and Congo-Brazzaville, whose envoy Daniel Owassa reportedly said he supported what China has called a series of anti-terrorism measures in the region, saying he appreciated "Xinjiang's great development achievements in various fields in recent years".
Human Rights Watch (HRW) said the gathering was an example of Africa's silence on a key global concern. LOL why should Africa join an event meant only for Western countries?
In March UK Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab urged developing countries to wait for the "gold standard" vaccines rather than those from China and Russia.
African nations waiting for the 'gold standard' vaccines being monopolized by rich nations to arrive, about 25 years later.

I don't think it matters whether or not it's genuine or not. The impact it created have already resonated with Chinese within China, the Chinese diaspora across the globe. It's a powerful message and a wake up call to all Chinese that these fxxking countries (with the exception of Austria, because it had been neutered after WW1. Lol) that oppressed China all those years ago, are continuing to go so even now.
And that oppression is a reminder to all Chinese we can't, and we will not let our guards down again!
Economic measures alone have limited effects and don't bring changes most of the times. China will need physical measures (such as blocking Australians from fly over Chinese territories or arresting Australians in China and international water etc). If causing economic loss was enough to get what you want, the US wouldn't have needed to wage all those wars and military occupation all over the world. Thinking that economically damaging your enemy will change enemy's behavior is naive. Look at North Korea or Iran. Decades of internationl economic sanctions imposed on them never succeeded in changing their directions. Sanctions on them are global and much more devastating while China's action on Australia is unilateral and not much change to most of ordinary Australians' life. Australians are not starving or anything like that. Besides, Australia has small population in large land. Australia can always easily feed its polulation no matter what China does economically.Politicians are very smart people or even cunning. Whatever they do, they've already thought about consequences. It's just about if they can control the consequences or not. I heard that when China block Australian coal, their coal were imported into China via a third country making the price even more expensive for China.I don't know!
I hope China would impose some meaningful punishment on Australia so it feels the hurts and let it know who's the real boss in the region.
You don't make sense.
China having military bases in other countries doesn't necessarily mean "China just walks into those countries". China builds all sorts of things all around the world and China doesn't just walk into those countries. Sovereign nations all over the world have the US or other foreign military bases.
US can not wreck their nations economically if China buys their natural resources. Latin American economies heavily rely on export of natural resources and China can buy them. US can not wreck their nations militarily. This is about China having military bases in other countries, right? What for? That's to counter the US militarily and keep the away from the US control. That's the point. How can the US militarily wreck those countries when the Chinese military is protecting those countries and Chinese missiles are aiming right at Washington and New York?
Simply be annexed by US? How? How when China has its missiles and troops in Cuba? If Cuba announces "something like this", that means Cuba is under China's protection and Chinese weapons are being positioned in Cuba. Any try to annex by US would be met with rain of missiles on the US mainland from the Chinese military. The US can't afford that.
I look at Venezuela, with all this "power of US sanctions", they never bowed down. The US sanctions failed. China should help Venezuela by buying Venezuelan oil and military bases and troops too. Russia sent its marines to Venezuela to protect when the US tried to overthrow the Maduro government.
There is no reason China doesn't want to shield its allies from economic collapse, or military agression by the US. Actually China should do that. That's how China widens its area of control.
No offense, but you should study more history and geopolitics
Report from reuters:
I did not bother to register an account in reuters, so it blocks me from reading. Instead, I used google translate as a proxy. Here I quote the content of the article for members like me. It is another round of drama to watch for the coming years.

I’m perfectly ok with demolishing and pulverising European and Anglo countries and rebuilding them again ala WW2.
