Default Re: Australia - China - Poltics



Some outside perspectives on what's going on between Australia and China.

These also predate our current decline in relationship too.

The first one covers why we saw Melbourne University flout the travel ban from China by getting students from China to another nation then into Australia funding flights and hotel stays.

The CCP also has significant political influence amongst it's Chinese students at our universities:

Also using their social media platform WeChat to be critical of our government to Chinese communities locally

Talk about putting all your eggs in one basket

Do you value the economy or our sovereignty? Might be worth diversifying our economy and look for new markets for our exports but I feel our population and our government aren't taking their interference in our country serious enough - muh franking credits.
