Punishing Australian businesses for simply asking for an independent enquirer into how this all started is completely reasonable. We will never really know the truth as the Ccp has made sure of that.
well, that's a little bit simplistic of an explanation, Gazza.
All the tensions are due to China's behaviour??!!!
Firstly, we were doing America's dirty work when we were the first country to demand a global inquiry into the origins of the coronavirus pandemic,
including China's handling of the initial outbreak in the city of Wuhan...that part is important, Gazza, because its very different to what you say happened, asking for an enquiry.
Marise Payne specifically targeted China, throwing an obvious political stick of dynamite at Beijing.
You'll recall Trump was in power and our fuckwit wanted to be besties with him, so we played poodle again.
What do you expect China to do?
What do other countries do when they feel attacked or want to prove a point?
They use economic sanctions.
Thats the way of the world. Australia has lots of sanctions against countries that we think have fucked with us. We are no different.
And whilst we seem to want to decouple from our largest trading partner, making no sense whatsoever, all the other countries around us became more integrated and found more ways to manage, and benefit from, the relations with their giant neighbour, here in Asia, where we keep pretending its the West.
Even today, literally, Germany and France are welcoming a new EU-China Investment deal.
Germany and France are two Economic Powerhouses in Europe, who know what's up.
They are doing this against US wishes. Unlike us.
Australia?
Well, we've got all these contracts we've lost, totalling billions, and we find ourself in a Trade War with the worlds upcoming Superpower but hey, at least our besties took them from us, now supplying China with the very things we used to supply, thankyouverymuch America!
Talk about getting played.
If China and the ccp are so great why don’t you emigrate there?
Thats a childish primary school argument used by 7 year olds and best saved for the lunchtime playground, if you ask me.
You need to do better if having a go at me.
My ideology astounds you, hey?
Could you enlighten me by telling me what it is, because I didn't know I had one.
As for the 500Ib elephant in the room, no, I am not South African and never have been. I lived there for many years, then escaped with my life and came here.
Given you don't know me, why would you choose to be so nasty to me?
I don't care whatsoever, don't get me wrong, but I thought you were religious?
Let me guess...Luciferian??
Its funny. You remind me of South Africa, ironically.
That was a country full of hypocritical Christians too.
God bless.
