However, the Chinese government CAN discourage people from going via incentives, media, warnings, and disclaimers (financial and travel sectors wise). In this regard, they aren't the best. This, along with their naive and timid foreign policies, makes them open to bully and take advantage of.
Where do you think the term "Ugly American" tourists came from? It ain't Chinese Americans that's for sure.
You have a point. But the Global Times nationalists were unleashed and we had very frequent attacks against Australia about how much it depended on China for its economy and that it should stop rocking the boat etc
I'm sorry but this a pretty bad take. I usually like your posts but this is way off. But I guess you dun live in Australia. I do and follow the local news daily with special attention towards their China section. Yes many Aus papers have a special online China section and special assigned reporters to write on China. Seriously doubt if Chinese papers have an Australian section.
It’s likely that China doesn’t report too much on this but considering Australia about face turn in the name of the USA, it is likely as well given that australia doesn’t report to much on China right now base on the current news (although there a still lots of government commentators that is writing a lot on how badly Scomo is handling China and basically trying to make themselves feel better given how badly they messed things up) in Melbourne shows that australia is quite scared of China right now I believe that given the current future trajectory, China is busy dealing with other bigger problems, namely the USA. I have heard that if australia was to fire the first shot in a war in a fit of stupidity, China will strike back at the military installations in australia as a primary move (particularly PG) and that would eliminate Australia as a military threat straight away, hence australia isn’t going to make those kind of moves first. But rest assured, once the USA is dealt with and the nation goes to mad max, China will crush the rest of the 5 eyes in the most brutal way imaginable along with Japan to ultimately send a final message to the world what happens when you make China the enemy since the one thing about Chinese people that the west doesn’t seem to realise right now is that in ancient China, the Chinese would wait a few generations before taking brutal and complete revenge when the enemy has long forgotten what they have done. The principle to bidding time and building strength is still at play and given the comparative lack of military power from the rest of the 5eyes, well they have either two options in the future if there is one, do what nz did and try to mend ties or well, treat the colonist to the karma that have escaped ever since they wiped out the natives. Really given how isolated that these 5eyes are and likely will be in the future, well haha, I can see this building up to a conclusion where australia will be flattened by both Russia and China-for resources as an after thought and to rub things in, the world will stand by and watch like the EU did when Russia was dealing with Ukraine recently. The only thing keeping the rest of the 5eyes alive is the USA but really let’s see how long thing will go for and given that australia has spent the last couple of years angering China without stop or consideration that most of what they accuse China of is exactly what they have done themselves, I shudder to imagine what kind of vengeance that China will visit on Australia in the future and given the feeling of dread I feel nowadays from all the stupidity that is happening in the australia government right now it is likely that it will be extreme and horrifying although I do admit the prospects of Scomo being completely punished in such an event is something I may find quite enjoyable to what given is utter lack of a brain he has shown in the last couple of years.
You're the one whose embarrassing and being laughed out of the room. Did you even read the article that you posted?
No. I enjoy mocking stupidity and baseless bravado which is not backed by something solid in reality
The guy is an idiot but the numbers dont lie. Australia is making bank and will continue do so in the future. Iron Ore will forever be in demand
^^This is the baseless bravado I was talking about just now. It seems China had your types in command which is why they have an egg on their face now
Iron Ore sales to China show otherwise. The money Australia lost on Chinese sanction are getting them back from iron ore sales and then using that money to subsidise the sanctioned businesses. So as I said before, an egg on China's face
This is true. But Iron Ore will forever be in demand so ...
Yes whatever. The US will just pull its usual shenanigans in Africa and destroy any Chinese efforts to build up their mines.
I am actually following Australia's media and I know about the infamous Murdoch controlled news there and their propaganda against China etc. My post was not about what Australia is doing, I dont care much about it actually
Interesting opinion and I think you might have a point here, but it is too soon to say for sure.
Come on man, you're smarter than this comment. No one expected not least China that their recent actions against Australia is going to bear fruit within months considering the amount/volume of trades and contracts China and it's companies had with the kangaroo humping descendants of convicts. We should look at the data and trends a year or 2 from today and assess where the impact or how little to no effect the impact of China's actions made and go from there.
