I don't mind China making her true intentions known. Long overdue. If they want to buy or not buy our stuff that's their decision, but their tentacles were deep and getting deeper.

I think they've overplayed their hand here massively. The rest of the world will be waking up to the fact that China sees itself as Rome and everyone else as client states.
Agree.

And with Biden taking office I think you'll see a more unified Western front with EU, US, Canada, Aust and others taking action against China.

BTW, if you’re familiar with the recent Milan controversy, it erupted as a result of one of the Chinese leads expressing their support for the government’s policies. Why would they take such a stand if there was nothing going on in the first place.
Huh? There is no contradiction. Institutions where problematic Uighurs are educated, taught the Chinese language and laws etc. are fine with me.
The Uighur stories spread by the Western propaganda machine go way beyond what the Chinese openly and proudly confirm (my previous sentence basically), claiming there are a million prisoners, slave labor, and stuff like that.

No, I have not heard of any Milan controversy, yet.

The Chinese were totally right with what they said. When the West invents all those Uighur stories and interferes in China's human rights situation, it makes perfect sense for China to point out the barbaric behavior of Western troops and others.

They also mention in that article that China said the virus was brought to China by Americans. What they do not mention is that it was the reply to the American conspiracy theory about the virus having been made in a Chinese lab and released on purpose. So, again, the Chinese merely reacted with an equally unfounded claim.

And no, unlike what the article says, the rift between Australia and China did not open because of the call for an independent investigation into the virus. I don't remember the exact wording, but the call was based on the presumption that the virus was from China and that there was guilt involved, which implied an accusation. That is why China refused that kind of partisan Western investigation. They have agreed to an independent, unbiased investigation, though, which is already underway.

And economically, it was Australia which started it by banning Huawei without any evidence that there was anything wrong with Huawei products.

Unlike a wumao, they don't have to pay me a single cent because I like investigating stuff and I like justice. For that reason I only write what I really believe.

Also, the US employs an army of online warriors that infiltrate message boards and social media in order to manipulate the public. They certainly don't work for free. So, run a hypocrisy check...
There is even an organization for smearing American journalists that don't support the cold war on China:

Well, I know, you guys are lazy and ideologically blinded, you like to just chill on your comfortable propaganda carpet and anyone that doesn't agree with that nonsense is considered a threat because you don't like the idea that maybe, if you did some research, you would find out that you are mistaken.
Thanks for the laugh.

You really should reply as individual posts. You just blew $1 with this one.

This is part of the reason why Scomo should have ignored the tweet. They are just trolling him now...

I feel if China did something like go after Australia in the near future most do the world would be against it. I mean, China is even overstepping their bounds with Russia. Nobody is very happy with China right now. If China continues its push let’s hope it stays that way, as a united world makes China less scary. Although, I can’t imagine being in Hong Kong right now.

That would be great lol.

A Chinese Civil War 2.0 is what the world needs at this point. Can CIA just assassinate someone to make it happen please?

It's funny that a Chinese young artist's work stirred such a fight.
Western media are full of China bashing cartoons and articles 24/7, but people all consider it perfectly fine (and China government doesn't care in most cases either).

Typical double standard rooted in pride and prejudice.
