As for tweet/meme/child like copy/cartoon, its a matter of opinion the point is to some its depicting a ADF soldier as presented.
Are you a enlisted or past Aussie digger ? how do some of them feel.
Point is its also our coat of arms being defamed, I wonder how the CCP would feel ont he other foot and reaction let alone any other countries coat of arms.
People carry on about IP, they are renowed copiers as we know - wonder how they would react someone here doing the same re Tianamen Square again for it is old now/the countless people kicked out of their homes for the sake of sky risers/the properganda in their media/how we've seen people treated during the covid outbreak/the doctor who exposed it to the world now RIP/you can go on and on but some here say tred lightly the big bad wolf is going to dump us and bloody ruskies lol.....
I can't believe CCP closing shop on us 100%, they need our minerals full stop, other countries will not be able to fill it entire needs for starters.
Oh, as much as i luv some of our own Aussie entertainers ol Jimmy I'll pass, Red yes a good mention he is a intelligent person as would some others no doubt about it.
You can't suck on the tit forever as we know, we can still Trade not cut off completely but you need to sew new roots !

edit, forgot to add, here here bravo.
"Tensions are set to rise further in the coming days as the Morrison government and Labor finalise an agreement on new laws giving it the power to scrap agreements struck by states, local councils and universities with foreign governments.
The laws, which will pass before the end of the week, will probably allow the federal government to tear up Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews' Belt and Road agreement with the Chinese government."

and why should they react to the above ? we can't do similar in the CCP.

and thats another point re the above, our Uni's.
They reacted towards our own (a student standing up to them due to their investment in our own Unis ffs, sure they can have a say but they shouldn't be able to "gag" one of our citizens and the Uni honchos also are guilty of the towing the line protecting the funding ffs and suspended him) demonstrating against them in that Brisbane Uni.

That was the short version?

There is an underlying issue on our side, and thats greed.

Uni's got to big for their boots and saw the $$$

I am not against the Feds being able to slap states, states shouldnt have that much freedom.

Diversification is a long held business plan for any successful entity...so..no one can cry foul when China start pulling stumps, it was never going to last forever at that rate if we want to have our say.

China has a long way to go in order to become a responsible global player, whether they want to or not is another question that I cant answer but we need to be prepared for the consequences if we want to be the ones to slap them. We havent done anything aggressive yet and look at the situation. Hold on fellas.

You cant throw grenades over some words and a picture. Some talk a big game but dont quite grasp what that means for Australia.

We have seen already that NZ (meh but thanks), France (not bad) and Taiwan (they will take anything right now) have commented....

Where is the UK and the US!
