Why use an AI when you have the Aussie PM on his knees? The CCP propaganda arm, The Global Times, is cock-a-whoop.
Two issues are particularly noteworthy during Albanese’s visit to China, as they have sent a message to the world that Australia is re-balancing its international relationships to assert its core national interests, and embracing the Asia-Pacific as its home region. First, when meeting with President Xi on Tuesday, Albanese noted that Australia adheres to the one-China policy and does not support “Taiwan independence.” This came amid reports Washington seeking clarity from allies on their role in a potential conflict over China’s Taiwan. Earlier, his Defense Minister Pat Conroy has said that Australia will not make any commitments to Washington.
Second, Albanese said China’s development is vital to Australia, and Australia has never sought to decouple from the Chinese economy. While the cornerstone of bilateral ties remains economic engagement, Albanese’s emphasis on trade during this visit highlights its role in advancing the comprehensive strategic partnership.
These actions demonstrated that the prime minister considers Australia’s trade relationship with China a core national interest, unlike his predecessors who subordinated Australia’s trade interest to US demands.
I wish it were just propaganda, but Albo has fundamentally undermined the Australian national interest on this trip.
Restored Chinese tourism means more ethnic Chinese immigration, which is already running at record highs, which means greater CCP influence via propaganda and coercion from recent vintage ethnic Chinese immigrants.
In turn, this means an honest appraisal of foreign and strategic policy becomes impossible in the federal parliament.
Here is your ABC discussing it.
Albo knows this. It is critical to his plan to prolong Labor in power.
The Coalition knows it, too, so expect it to fall to its knees in due course.
