Over the last 20 years or more, Australia has benefited greatly from its economic relationship with China. You may have noticed that most of the goods in our shops are made in China. We have willingly and cheerfully profited from cheap Chinese labour and abundant Chinese investment as we’ve enjoyed the privilege of affordable goods and a reliable market for our primary resources.
But none of this was considered relevant by the idiotic incompetents that are ruining our country, when they hitched their political wagon to the Americans’ imperial locomotive. Rather than put Australia’s economic interests first, they slavishly devote themselves to serving US warmongering adventurism by fomenting hostility against our primary trading partner, China.
It should be obvious to anyone who can view the current state of international relations from an informed, objective and impartial perspective, the raucous AUKUS is heading for an excruciatingly painful and humiliating catastrophe that will make their defeat in Afghanistan look like a picnic.
The Anglo-American imperium is in a death spiral, and there’s nothing ScoMo, BoJo or Joe Dementia can do to avert the inevitable demise of the Empire.
My fellow Australians, the real threat to the health and well-being of yourselves, your children, your community and your economy comes not from China, but from your government and the inept, corrupt plutocracy that controls it.
