@braddy_Codie05@RealPNavarro India and China have in fact a long history of peaceful coexistence and brotherly exchange. Buddhism came from India and for millennia there was a constant stream of Chinese pilgrimages to the great learning centre at Nalanda. Indian Buddhist teachers were highly valued in China.
@ElisaarKerag @DanCollins2011 Interesting you say that, since about 70% of both Russia's and Ukraine's losses so far have been due to drones and unmanned weaponry.
@stingerdelux@AlboMP No argument there. Everyone serves themselves first, and we are also in a lucky position to be economically complementary. But China's rise has also been peaceful, which is a first. They prefer to trade rather than conquer or colonise.
@AnthonySarich@stingerdelux@AlboMP Australia doesn't have a choice, it has a long history of fighting and dying for its empire masters. It doesn't know where to begin to unravel the security alliance. The US is knee deep in the security architecture of Australia, from Pine Gap to the nuclear sub bases coming to WA
@stingerdelux@AlboMP To be fair I don't think he's pretending, he's just threading a fine line between the old empire masters who demand unquestioned loyalty and deference, and the emerging superpower who benefits us the most and is making an effort to be friendly.
@KatieGrace2022@AlboMP He is there to meet with President Xi, and helping our businesses connect while he's there. I don't see how this is a bad thing.
@BeijingDai Isnt Germany and France a part of the EU? Double counting? If you remove them from the EU calculation then EU would be some 10 trillion less than shown.
@AMFChina It seems like only 150 years ago that Europe and the US had gunboats lining the Chinese coast, each waiting to grab their own little piece of trading concession on totally extortionate terms.
@YMckickass @Hmzy96 @GlobeEyeNews The US accounts for about 15% of China's trade. They even trade more with South East Asia than the US. I think they'll survive.
