More good news from Straits Times:

China on Tuesday (June 9) urged students going overseas to study to think carefully before choosing Australia, due to a spate of racial incidents targeting Asians in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic.

The Ministry of Education’s warning comes days after the Chinese culture and tourism ministry advised citizens against travelling to Australia due to racial discrimination and violence stemming from the coronavirus outbreak, which was first detected in China in late 2019.;

In its statement, the education ministry said during the outbreak, “there were a number of discriminatory incidents against Asians in Australia,” and it reminded students “to carefully assess the risks in deciding whether to study in or return to Australia right now.”

Great stuff. The last thing we need is more Chinese students to complete the corruption of our tertiary system.

Thanks again, CCP. It’s great that you take account of the Australian national interest when those that you have bribed can not.
