Don't you think we have opened up enough for them after all these years.
Sure we have gained $$$$'s and we sold out to them long ago (I won't bring in my political pov) but Trade alliances is about having a win win and for as long as I've noticed we have gained trading $$$'s but not much else.
Infact our soul has been squandered in many ways for the sake of the buck to this tyrant who when not getting their way they try to turn the tables making you the bad guy ! and anti chinese, ofcourse they will.
We have opened the doors to investing here not just exports.
We educate their kids.
Its not just about the money its that we opened up and welcomed them and to be treated as such after all these years of keeping our mouths shut due to business's sake and suck it up more you have got to be kidding yourselves.
We all know were being played like doh.
Stop bringing in Trumpism's and alike and take things down like a SM show.
I'd sooner our leader say something than sitting back delegating to one of his hand maidens - oh thats what you think is a better stratergy.
That frigging stupid insta pic depicted us as crimes, we have alot more honour than that than letting it through to the keeper after all these years of keeping the peace despite our country being eaten up in the mean time.
Just ask all those citizens like ourselves in the countries the CCP have bought out far more than ours how they feel in the big picture and whats to become of their next few gens.

Sorry mate, we agree on cars but this one I will have to agree to disagree.
Can you (and others) not see that a simple tweet is making Australians have a go at each other?
Not once did I say I was happy with what they did, but blind freddy can see that it was nothing more than a poo-stirring exercise. Its wrong on all levels and ScoMo did mostly the right thing but the way it was done was too much.
Sorry to say fellas, but when you hold such a position you do have to watch your tongue (owning your own business is similar but not the same).
Australia, and Australians, sucked from the China tit for years and still do. So you happy to cut those funds right now and take a stance?
I believe you dont have to pick a side, and to say pick a line is highly offensive, thats how **** starts to get worse when everything is made black and white, right and wrong; most you blokes should be old enough to know that all depends on your perspective and culture.
So, feel free to get on your high horse but you will fall harder. We dont have to bend our values and morals to have a working relationship. The ledger will not always be 50/50, we are not economically equal anyway so good luck with that.
Funny how we have a spat with USA/Trump and its a misunderstanding, do the same with China and we should shut the gates and release the hounds.
They over stepped the line, and while it was an officials tweet I wonder how far up the tree it was approved (you would suspect all the way but would Xi really be checking on tweets..)
All this over a fake picture, what happens when it gets real?
