Re: China claims all
Well good chat folks.
..Notice now that Scott Morrison's firm stance on having an international inquiry into the origins of Covid19 has been accepted as the real reason for China's fury at Australia and trade sanctions. China just can't accept it. Why?..In all but the most backward and sh#thole places in the world it is normal for any unexplained death to be subject to some sort of Coronial inquiry. And here we have something in China that has caused well over 300,000 deaths; and they don't want it investigated.??.Morrison's plan now has the support of the EU, Britain, the USA and NZ. China might be a "superpower" but they are still bloody pathetic. The more they threaten, the more the world should stand up to them. The Chinese diaspora that they also threaten most of all. Xi chin ping is looking more like Hitler every day. IT's a wonder he doesn't grow a stupid little moustache.
I am so sick to death of hearing people cry "Oooo we must not upset China..Ooo we have to be very careful..Ooo they are so powerful.OOo we have to Kow Tow and respect them." Rubbish. Crap, Bollocks and nonsense. They will get repsect when they earn it. When they start respecting their neighbours and stop behaving like bullying tossers. If we buckle they really will walk all over us.The demands will be endless. We really will be their "bitch".
We don't need to rely on the USA or it's unhinged president. How about CANZUK?*..A strong, mobile and resolute alliance of the senior members of the commonwealth..Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the UK. And anybody else who want to stand up to China..including the EU. But not depending on the US.
*CANZUK as suggested by Peter Hartcher of the Sydney Morning Herald
ps Like the paragraphs JBR?

Re: China claims all
To be honest, I can't think that China, like Russia, could become the world's superpower.Certainly, when it comes to technology, neither of those countries seem to develop their own, but rather copy western ideas. Concordski, for example.
China is so 'powerful' simply because it can manufacture and sell good that the world wants to buy because it is so cheap. As they become richer, it is possible that their people will want more, just as we did when we became richer following the Victorian expansion. Their cheap labour might then disappear and their ability to compete along those lines would end.
All empires and major powers expand and then contract.

a PROFIT from both world wars!
After WW2 they then punished england for voting socialist by
enforcing war debt repayments from uk, and then to rub it in they
then used those repayments to help pay for the "german miracle"
where germany was rebuilt from the ruins with new modern
factories etc, etc. England was left to languish whilst their former
deadly enemy was completely restored!
They then went on to cause the Korean debacle in their fear of
communism, and then went on to rebuild their other former deadly
enemy Japan, and later Tiawan all to hold back communism?
This policy later bit them in the arse as Japan and Tiawan then went
on to out perform them economically!!
Sorry to give you a history lesson at your time of life but l think it
may be of benefit to you??
Donkeyman! 😇😇
