@mjrowland68 Blame lies everywhere, but this Buffoon is in power in no small part because journalists continue to tolerate propaganda from Rupert Murdoch’s henchmen.
@rcandy16@NelsonMandela I have no love for the Castro Government. But as alway @NelsonMandela looks at the world with nuance and complexity. I wonder what he would say about a democracy that allows gerrymandering to undercut and exclude the democratic will of minorities and the poor.
@BarackObama The world is complex. Agree with your friends to learn about a topic; virology (John Hopkins), climate change (NOAA), economics (the Economist), international relations (Council on Foreign Relations). Read for as little as 20 minutes a day. Talk to each other about what you learn
@mjrowland68@David_Speers@BreakfastNews We don’t know. This is great analysis? I was never impressed that Insiders went to someone willing to work for Rupert Murdoch, in my opinion working for a propaganda organisation is extremely unethical.
But I have seen nothing from Mr Speers that is in anyway impressive.
@starcraft123456@barbpar@abcnews The American democratic model is flawed, but American people can build a better system. The Chinese people have no power to challenge the increasing totalitarian Xi.
There are high quality democracies out there, the Germans, the Scandinavians, South Africa despite social issues
@starcraft123456@barbpar@abcnews Your article sounds less like the Dutch were bullied and more like they were convinced Xi’s clique would use the equipment for nefarious purposes.
Dictators, across the planet vary only in degrees of brutality. Democracy is flawed, but at least we can kick out would-be tyrants
@starcraft123456@barbpar@abcnews Iraq war was wrong. But so is interning 1.2 million Uyghur’s, organ harvesting of Chinese dissidents & harassing anyone who questions Xi’s clique. The only references I can see to ‘long arm jurisdiction’ relating to chips are propaganda from Xi’s Beijing clique
@mjrowland68@AusChinaBC @HelenSawczak @theage@BreakfastNews The arrogance of Australia’s business elite is staggering. Does @HelenSawczak get the trajectory here, of Xi’s cliques aggression. Analysis comparing them to the Nazi’s is not unfounded as they threaten their neighbours and lock up 1.2 million of there own citizens.
@Alex_YBO@Peter_Strachan@ggvre12@abcnews This is a suspected case. Do you bots have anything solid that proves the COVID-19 coronavirus did not come from a Wuhan wet market?
@starcraft123456@barbpar@abcnews High quality semiconductors are made in Taiwan, South Korea & Malaysia. The Beijing clique are bullies, they don’t take on the Americans because it’s a tough fight.
As for trade; China can source other product, but at inflated prices. And Australia can sell discounted product
@abcnews (Chinese people in China and around the world should not be blamed for the aggression of the regime in Beijing, they more than anyone are its victims).
@abcnews The Government must call out Chinese economic aggression, which one day will be military aggression.
When the Chinese retaliate we dump products & services in other markets, when countries sue our defence is WTO national security exemption, Xi’s attempt at crippling our economy
