According to @CliveCHamilton, Huang Xiangmo, who gave the ALP an ALDI bag full of cash and who was denied re-entry into Australia on national security fears, gave $1.8m to Labour and $1.1m to the Liberals. What influence does the CCP have on your party @AlboMP@ScottMorrisonMP ?
Taiwan is a sovereign country and a strategic ally of Australia. Pandering to the bullying of the Chinese Communist Party is cowardly and against our interest @RugbyAU#Taiwan#RugbyAU#CCPbully
Taiwan is NOT a province of China @RugbyAU . My son is from Taiwan and when I enrolled him into a junior rugby team using your rugby explore app, the option for Taiwan said: "Taiwan, province of China". I was appalled and chose Australia instead. #Taiwan#RugbyAU#CCPbully
Today I have permanently deleted my Facebook account in protest for their bullying of the Australian Government and our media companies. #payfornews#bullyfacebook@JoshFrydenberg
"Beijing will now set about changing over time how people identify themselves. The two main priorities will be patriotic education and eroding the integrity of the rule of law. This has already begun".

@lucrepogge What a stupid idea! As if printing lies on an ad would convince anyone. The Italian government has signed up to the belt and road trap but that does not mean that Italian business people are dumb.
Hong Kong government on Italy’s most prominent business paper, Il Sole 24 Ore, to say that conditions for business in HK remain good and that “HK continues to be a free and welcoming society based one country, two systems and the rule of law” 👇🏻
Xi’s trip to Macau has culminated with a CCTV CNY-style gala, with Xi himself on stage singing ‘Sing for the Motherland’. A little taste of what ‘One Country, Two Systems’ could look like for Hong Kongers if they weren’t so sceptical and rebellious #HongKong
@TeaYee_TT @PhilosophyNook@MarisePayne Couldn’t agree more. The Chinese ambassador should be officially chastised for his remarks by our government. Some of his diplomatic staff should be sent back to Beijing as a clear sign that his position is unacceptable and detrimental to AU-China relationship.
UQ has been actively working to harass, intimidate Hong Kong students. UQ never disciplined any pro CCP thugs after up to five HK students were assaulted on campus in July. But UQ recently accused two innocent HK students of assault, forcing them to attend hearings w/o legal rep
Sobering...
"An entire intellectual and policy industry has grown up around wishful-thinking, collapsist dogmas of China’s imminent demise. And yet another year has passed, and reality continues to confound such hopes".

@uwu_uwu_mo Amazing project. Document as much as possible. I could help from February (working on a deadline now). I can photograph stuff but I am based in Australia. I can count to 7 in mandarin and I can’t even do that in canto...
@PhilosophyNook They threaten sanctions, impose them for 9 months and then quietly do the originally planned trade. If it makes them money, they’ll come to the table eventually: they are neither ideological nor stupid. #CCP
"It [ICAC] will now break for Christmas and next year will deliver a report sure to act as a template for global law enforcement agencies seeking to investigate Chinese interference in liberal democracies".

"Trump's announcement of the trade deal came minutes after the House Judiciary Committee approved impeachment charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress".
