Chinese paper calls Julie Bishop a 'complete fool', Australia a country of 'rascals and outlaws'

[klauskunkel]

Since China obviously lives in the past and believes what happened 150 years ago is still going on today, then it would be most appropriate to call China a country of opium addicts.

The remark about how Australia came to be and the fact that it was a prison colony however true it might be does not make the current Australians criminals. Its not likely that being a criminal is in your genes. But those remarks must hurt some Australians. Also the crimes in the past against the Aboriginals don't justify those of China now. Its like you were bad then now I can do the same. 

 

Crazy, its like telling the Dutch of now they should be held responsible for their slave trader ancestors. 

 

Bet they lash out like that because their pride was hurt.

"Crazy, its like telling the Dutch of now they should be held responsible for their slave trader ancestors"

Same same herds of Jamaicans in Canada blaming the white folk there for it.

Dumb and dumber

Visiting Australia, reply in a loud voice to the Immigration Officers question: "Have you ever been convicted of any criminal offence?"
with "I didn't know it was still compulsory!"

 

And when he says "Have you got a criminal record", answer "Yes, Gary Glitter's Greatest Hits on vinyl".

During British area authorities send criminal and prostitute from England to colonize Australia. This is a black face of British colonization.

 

However the British and after Australian  try to deport and exterminate aborigen 

 

A French colonial view of the history of Australia. How quaint. They even manage to get sex workers in - wouldn't be a French story without tarts.

 

Next will be the fable about how clever and benign the French colonials were, the successes they made in Vietnam and Algeria being glaring examples.

Hey the fact we in the US have a bunch of guns doesn't mean we're outlaws. I have 3 myself (back home safe in good ol' Dixieland) shotgun pistol and M1 Garand inherited from my grandfather. We ain't outlaws because there ain't no laws against public carry of non-automatic weapons, as it should be. Guns are for hunting and defending yourself against criminals. 

[wabothai]

Sounds to me like a threat. Ban all Chinese from aussiland.

Actually, the largest single group among the convicts were the chartists, proto-unionists and tradesmen expelled on political/public affray grounds - a much better and tougher lot of poms than those that followed them in the 20th century.

 

As for prostitutes and thieves, a brief read of the contemporary Dickens would provide an insight into their relationship to poverty

 

 

Would that be the mass migration from Eastern and Southern Europe you refer to as the "followers"?

 

Where exactly do you think most non aboriginal "Australians" originate from?

Spot on. Many Europeans really envy your second amendment. We are not to be so trusted by our control freak governments.

I don't know who Julie Bishop is, but he might have a point about the “rascals and outlaws”. 

 

I resemble that remark !!

She is the foreign Minister in Tony Dumb Dumb's Government.  She always wanted to be P.M but unfortunately Dumb Dumb was just a fraction smarter.

Hooray the conservatives are back in. Labour made some management mistakes that's why Abbott is in and he has no intention at all of implementing any kind of green energy plan despite the rest of the world already acting on this. "Cut the carbon tax" is his idiotic mantra "its adding to the cost of living to all of Australia". People who are obsessed with sport and nothing more are the types who actually believe his sound bites and slogans and that's another reason he is in. The reality is that utility costs are soaring because the libs privatised them all 20 years ago and they all have big fat yank style CEO's on absolute mega bucks. The libs have a selfish short term view of everything and its ok to have more and more and more roads and pollution in their "vision" of the country. The strange thing is that everyone is all so surprised about all the cuts, seems most have a complete lack of understanding of what conservatives really stand for. I agree with the Chinese Julie Bishop and in fact her whole team are an embarrassment to the country. The only thing I am voting for is paying off my debts and moving somewhere hot, tropical and cheaper.

I'm with you.  Even tho the British sent more convicts to colonise the U.S than they did to Australia we aussies are proud of our origins.

Loving China is like loving a porcupine. If you hold it too close you'll get pricked.

Thailand has yet to learn that lesson.

[wwest5829]

China has the balls to bring up human rights?    
 
"Australia is an outpost of rascals and outlaws that will soon adjust to the shifting realities of power, says a Chinese state-owned newspaper."
 
Is that a threat? Sounds like some saber rattling there. I have news for that punk China. Australia has friends.

Not saber rattling, we might call it a "Freudian Slip". There is a very deep seated and prevailing view among many that China's time has come to expand its greatness and all the world should tremble before the Middle Kingdom. I look forward to reading " When China Rules the World". I do, in fact, tremble at the aspect.

IMHO Thailand will think it can play its traditional role of playing off opposing outside forces against one another and thus maintain its independence. I believe they best have other strategies as China itself will play its traditional strategy of co-opting.

Hey! Only to the State of Georgia to protect against Spanish. Ha!

Firstly Biship and her cronies deserve all the rebuke their going to get over their archaic management of Australia, it's like watching the political landscape of the 1950's all over again. But China pointing the Human Rights finger at another country is simply laughable. Australia has spent Billions of dollars on improving Aboriginal living standards in the past 50 years and they don't crush people with tanks for protesting. Even under Mr. Rabbit and Biship Australian human rights, labour and environmental standards are considerably better than China.

Your grasp of history is as bad as your english.

 

Australian aborigines were never deported.  The past is the past and every Aussie admits the British colonisers were rather tough on them, especially those who helped themselves to the occasional bit of walking mutton.  However, the sheep were put onto the land belonging to the original dwellers - original by more than fifty thousand years, and who managed it a lot better than nowadays.  To be fair to the present Australians, the aborigines get housing, education, medical services at little or no cost.

It is difficult for any country to claim the absence of the dark sides of its own history.

I would suggest researching your own countries history before casting stones at another.

totally agree with you Benmart

Looks like the Chinese can see what a number of Australians missed last election.

Leave it to the Chinese...to lead the way in decorum and diplomacy...next they will want trade talks to take Australia's precious metals back to China..

See what? A culture so full if knowledge and wisdom they cannot see the hands in front of their faces due the pollution and smog they created. Lol, 90 % of their women that have decent looks are so desparate to leave they try and marry the rascals and outlaws from other nations. Actually, I think they would take a male with a pulse if it meant a ticket out of that wonderful place called China.
