        This is an example of bullying. We spy on you and when you complain we threaten you. Disgraceful behaviour by a super power. Chinese hegemony very worrying

        Consumer led? In a state run and owned country. Sounds more like a government trade boycott. "See will will punish you"'attitude. Ask Sam to use his contacts now. Never forget China is communist State.

        #Australia #Government, and the #Labor party, CANNOT see the DANGER that #communist #China represents, as its tentacles are weaved through business, #politics and property, our ports and power ... What could go wrong? None so blind as those that will not see! #GovernedByIdiots

        Basically #China will brook no #Australian opinion EXCEPT the one approved by the #Chinese, or they will attack our economy ... remember, #China is a #totalitarian #communist State without ANY individual rights, except to follow their directions. #GovernedByIdiots #Australia

        Very similar, but our #politicians have learnt NOTHING about protecting our #sovereignty from foreign activity and influence. #China is probably harder to deal with as a single party system that can sustain pressure, whereas the #American system does have elections.
