Albo’s “reset” = China running amok

I hope you are enjoying Albo’s China “reset“:

Chinese state-backed cyber spies attacked the computer systems of the Australian government, media companies, defence and health agencies for three months this year, seeking sensitive defence, navy and energy information relating to the South China Sea.

Using the 2022 federal election as bait, the spies – alleged to have connections back to China’s Ministry of State Security – set up a fake Australian media outlet, using cloned election stories from legitimate media organisations.

It then bombarded the inboxes of people working for federal and local government agencies, defence academic institutions, defence and health agencies, and Australian companies involved in energy generation in the South China Sea, with phishing emails.

The insults keep on coming from Chinese press:

Surveys show gullibility of Australians over China

As it turns out, Taiwanese take a far more realistic view of the prospect of an invasion by mainland China, compared to Australians, many of whom also think Beijing wants to invade down under as well.
Those are some of the results of a survey conducted by the Canberra-based Australia Institute under its international and security affairs programme. The results would have been laughable if it were not so dangerous with all that war talk coming out of Australia.

“Surveys”. One survey by a card-carr1ying Albo China groveller.

Let’s not forget the Solomons transformation into an autocratic Chinese mini-me:

Solomon Islands has temporarily suspended all naval visits by the US as relations continue to deteriorate between Washington and the Pacific nation.

The US government was notified by the Solomons on Monday of a “moratorium on all naval visits, pending updates in protocol procedures”, according to a spokesperson for the US embassy in Canberra, who said officials would continue to “monitor the situation”.

Nor the gas situation in which China is siphoning off 71% of east coast gas while Albo’s cowards are “yet to decide” if they’ll do anything about it as Australian industry is wiped out with everybody not far behind.

Nor the return of a mass immigration program that will grow the Chinese diaspora even as it “weaponised” by the CCP.

Nor the near blockade now positioned around Taiwan.

Nor that Xi Jinping is about to make himself a tyrant for life.

But you go, Albo.
