Last weekend, Paul Kelly revealed that Australia’s disordered PM, Scott Morrison, recently attended the G7 meeting for one purpose only (given Australia is not in the G7).

Ambrose Evans-Pritchard with the note: Defectors invariably paint their erstwhile regimes in the grimmest of colours. Cai Xia’s forensic broadside on the 100th anniversary of the Communist Party of China (CCP) is as grim as it gets.

Analysts are shocked that Australians have taken umbrage with being spat upon daily by China.

For those you living under a rock, Bill Bishop is the China export that runs Sinocism, the best daily China news and analysis source on the web.

Bloomberg is running an interesting study on what it will take for China to surpass the US economically in the decades ahead.

You can read the local China apologia from Xi Jinping’s cadre of local useful idiots today, Stan Grant and James Curran, both of whom continue to dodge the question: which parts of liberal democracy are they prepared to sacrifice for a better relationship with the CCP?

From Xi Jinping last week: China’s strongman leader Xi Jinping has threatened a “wall of steel” will confront any country that tries to bully his rising power.

As the CCP makes a song and dance about one hundred years of persecuting Chinese peoples, Xi Jinping’s local cohort of useful idiots are hard at it again.

Via Pew: Across advanced economies in Europe, North America and the Asia-Pacific region, few people think the Chinese government respects the personal freedoms of its people.

Some terrific material was offered over the weekend by The Australian on the fiftieth anniversary of Gough Whitlam’s historic visit to China which began an opening-up process for a hermit kingdom that was to become a superpower.

Australia’s number one patriot, the former trade minister that negotiated the China FTA and the leasing of Darwin Port to Chinese interests before going to work for the new owner shortly afterwards, has declared it’s fine to seize it back: Landbridge says if it happens then it’ll spike sovereign risk.

You have probably seen retiring DFAT head Frances Adamson’s speech at the Press Club yesterday.

I mean you: Hugh White, Geoff Raby, Stan Grant, Jane Golley, James Curran, James Laurenceson and the entire ALP.

You can show a traitor a noose but you can’t stop him from sticking his head in it.

Today I carry on with my recent deconstruction of the writing of Professor James Curran who has swiftly risen in place of Geoff Raby as the AFR’s China apologist de jour.

Anyone wondering why the Liberal-National Federal Government did a U-turn on Australia’s relations with China over recent years?

How exactly is this supposed to get Labor elected?

Australia’s personality-disordered PM, Scott Morrison, is galavanting around the world drumming up support to contain China.

Australia’s magnificent strategic realignment continues at pace today.

Weeoo, weeoo, weeoo.

Not according to  Bill Bishop at Sinocism: Comment: David Bandurski of the China Media Project has written an excellent article on the Politburo’s collective study session on global discourse power and the wishful thinking in some quick takes about a change in tone/halt of “wolf-warriorism”.

The China trade war on Australia is not going at all well.

I know that I have given our Stan a fearful pounding in the recent past.
