Thought i'd share a random article I found recently, only a couple of months old. I'm surprised it didn't get any air time here, but I can understand why it didn't in other mainland states

Best Australian cities ranked by the so called "list king"......

But Bouchet did have a few kind words for his favourite cities, praising Newcastle and Hobart before calling Adelaide Australia's greatest city.

"It's as if someone picked up Melbourne, scraped off all the bad bits and plonked it down 700km away in the best climate area in the country," he wrote.

International flights are resuming soon, sadly more CCP fifth columnists posing as students will start arriving again.

Article 7 of the ccp National Intelleligence Law stipulates that any organization, and individual shall support, assist and cooperate with intelligence work.

Article 14 stipulates that CCP intelligence services can insist on said support, assistance and cooperation.

OK rev.

with the state intelligence work in accordance with the law, and keep the
secrets of the national intelligence work known to the public.

Article 14 The state intelligence work organization shall carry out
intelligence work according to law, and may require relevant organs,

Majority of Australians, Americans and Brits blame China for pandemic

Three out of four Australians, Brits and Americans blame China for the coronavirus pandemic, according to a new poll.

The poll, by global private investment firm Parabellum Investments, found that over half are less likely to buy goods and services from China as a result of the pandemic.

In Australia, public concern is highest, with 80 per cent blaming China for the disaster and 68 per cent of those now less likely to buy Chinese products.

The research, undertaken for Parabellum Investments, comes amid political criticism over China’s role in the crisis and gives one of the first indications of how consumers may react.

Across all three leading Western economies, it reveals unexpectedly high levels of public concern.

“This pandemic has clearly demonstrated the dangers of Western economies being overly dependent on China,” said Rami Cassis, Founder and CEO of Parabellum Investments.

“This is already influencing international trade and prompting governments and enterprise to look for ways to guarantee supply of critical goods and services. We believe it will transform international supply chains and change today’s globalisation model relying on China as the world’s factory which will bring with it investment opportunities arising from reshoring and nearshoring.”

Asked whether they held the Chinese government responsible for the global spread of COVID-19, 77 per cent of consumers surveyed across all three countries said they did.

Although governments in the UK, US and Australia have responded differently, levels of public concern are strikingly similar across the three continents, with 80 per cent of Australian consumers blaming China for the crisis, against 77 per cent of in the UK and 73 per cent in the US.

The poll also reveals a clear link between consumers blaming China for spreading the pandemic and their purchasing intentions. Just over 60 per cent of respondents who hold China responsible for the global spread of COVID-19 say they are now less likely to buy Chinese goods and services.

The impact on buying intentions is evident in all three countries, but most evident in Australia, where 68 per cent of consumers blaming China for the pandemic said the pandemic has made them much or slightly less likely to buy goods and services from China.

“We think increasingly negative consumer attitudes to China will influence how major corporations reconfigure their supply chains in the wake of this pandemic,” Mr Cassis continued. “We expect many more to look for ways to source products and services locally, or from countries which are physically closer and culturally aligned.

Some of the regional winners gaining from China’s loss are expected to be India, North Africa, Eastern Europe & Belarus, Argentina & Mexico. While investment driving the reshoring and nearshoring trend is already afoot in pharmaceuticals and medical services, we also expect to see this happen in numerous other sectors.”

Parabellum Investments has recently acquired pharma-tech product serialisation firm advance based in the US, Belgium and Turkey. As part of its global portfolio, Parabellum Investment also has nearshore / offshore operations in Bulgaria, Turkey and multiple sites in India where it is seeking further acquisitions.

I don't think every Chinese citizen or student is a member of the communist party though. There probably are a few, but not all of them. Wikipedia states that there are 90 million party members, so it should be about 6.5%.

Never said they were.
The issue is that they are here temporarily, still citizens of China and therefore still bound by Chinas laws.
They can be forced to assist intelligence operations. Might be something as simple as attending an air show at a RAAF base and taking photos.

Its another example of where we've become dependent on them, their sending students, and what a mistake it is to continue it.

That, along with buying Chinese goods, and allowing unchecked Chinese investment especially when most of it comes from "businesses" controlled by the CCP or directly linked to it.

The CCP isnt Australia's "friend".
Their recent actions should highlight this for everyone. If anyone needed clarification or a reminder after China threatened it would sink our frigates in international waters in the scs.

Our government wants an independent international investigation into where this virus came from and how it spread, so as to prevent it from happening again or at least better prepare in case it happens again. Whats China got to hide? They havent been lying to the world have they?

Their response? 80% tarrif on our barely exports and sudden immediate ban on partial meat imports.

I don't know what our government is doing or waiting for before taking them to the WTO, or, better yet, ban export of our minerals to China. We have a trade surplus with them, so we have some wiggle room to play with.

Chinas leader isnt taking calls from Canberra btw. Like a petulant child crying before being disciplined and sent to it's room.
