Popular Post chilly07 Posted November 28, 2020 Popular Post Posted November 28, 2020 The way China locked down so rapidly after spreading the virus around the world and their subsequent "sucess'" in controlling it at home does sound like the plot of a conspiracy theory movie. Art imitating life? Bid for world domination? Who knows! 4

Ventenio Posted November 28, 2020 Posted November 28, 2020 This really is a GREAT IDEA!!!! Let me explain why... I haven't met a non-farang who thinks China had/has a problem with COVID, they believe the numbers. China should retract about 80,000 cases immediately, or say they were all farangs. Remember, some people are 100 years behind.....we don't trust the news, other farangs, we trust nobody. but some people still believe everything. China will keep about 1 billion "friends" by making up everything. 1 1

I read somewhere that the Chinese have started refusing entry to British MPs in government for some reason unknown. Worried they may be more drug (opium) pushers. I would be concerned too considering the cruel and exploitative history Britain has with China (and most of the rest of the world). 3 1 1

Let's sell 'em drugs..lots and lots of drugs... And then bombard and kill them when the authorities object. Hard to believe that such a whining,pipsqueek,nothing of a nation could have wielded such vast amoral power only a century ago. 1 1

Wasn't there a harbor they build and own? It's all negotiating and tit/tat what's going on and it will last till A. decides to be no longer US poodle ... In what way, if any, is Australia a US poodle? You can say they are constrained or empowered, whichever way you want to look at it, by being a member of the Commonwealth, but that still beats being Tibet in the Ocean. 2

Is that a cordial invitation not to trust you? Back on topic..is there any confirmation (after all it would be big news) that a "gag" order has been issued by the Chinese Gov't to the medical authorities in Wuhan? 1

You seems a guy who reads things so I don't understand your question. Where the US goes, Australia goes, Afghanistan, North-Korea, China, 5 Eyes club (mass survaillance) in policy and deeds. When was the last time they put their foot in the sand and told the US to f of? 1

I'm unaware of any US or Australian presence in North Korea since the early 1950s. I'm unaware of any US presence in China since supplying both the KMT and Communists in World War II. If you're worried about Five Eyes surveillance, then what do think about China's domestic surveillance system? 3

Maybe the bio lab had a leak after all. Yep China just cancelled the import of 1.5 billion Aus dollars of our wine, 2 days notice. Our coal ships are held up outside Chinese ports and barley trade cancelled. We also have a free trade agreement with China. Flexing their muscles. Another irresponsible super power. 5

Xi Jin Ping has announced his intention to take Taiwan by any means necessary, so Taiwan has done well to prepare for a viral epidemic, since this would be an efficient and deniable way for XJP to disable Taiwan's defenses. 2

China has had aspirations to retake Taiwan since 1949 but shake in their shoes when contemplating the response they will get from the USA. They are very good at intimidating smaller, weaker nations!

Obama people were asleep at the switch as China was creating facts in the sea, i.e. those fake islands for "peaceful purposes" in the South China Sea. (Please rename "Southeast Asian Sea".) US forces will now have to stand off pretty far from Taiwan if things heat up. 1

I don't need anything to link to. I made my call on the CCP years ago. It's a blatantly repressive regime that gets worse everyday. How much information does someone need to come to the obvious conclusions? China blinds, gags, and deafens it's citizens daily and has nothing to export but more of the same. There is absolutely no reason to believe this will change. 1
rkidlad Posted November 28, 2020 Posted November 28, 2020 (edited) Not to worry. The CCP now say the virus began in India and spread to Australia. Apart from having issues with many counties around the world, the CCP doesn’t have a particular beef with India or Australia, does it? I remember when this all started. The CCP were very quick to come out and say it started in a wet market in Wuhan. A government official even referred to it himself as the “Wuhan Virus”. I guess they thought it wasn’t so serious at the beginning. Edited November 28, 2020 by rkidlad 1

In the 80s there was a seeming trend to more open society, but then there was Tienanmen in 1989. It was never the CCP's intention to be more democratic. Rather it was more to accommodate the delusions of public intellectuals in the West and to aid the agenda of Boeing et al who wanted to enrich China to the point that they could sell a lot of planes, etc. It was a very unequal tradeoff. Basically, the structure and bias of Chinese culture and society will favor an authoritarian boss, currently Xi Jin Ping. For the West, Xi Jin Ping was an accident waiting to happen, as was the current pandemic. The technology to repress the Wuhan docs and everybody else was gladly transferred from Europe. This unfortunately is a situation created by the West, first by Kissinger/Nixon in 1972, later by the rush of greedy companies that handed over their technology for ephemeral profits, only to see their markets grabbed worldwide by subsidized erstwhile joint partners in the not-too-distant future! As long as the CCP is in power, the China Rise chauvinism will continue in whatever guise. 1 1
