    *The Irrational Fear Of China*

    "The Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has met with Xi Jinping for the
    fourth time rCo a big moment in AustraliarCoChina relations. While the conservative media push Cold War paranoia and fear of war with China,
    the Albanese government is focused on rebuilding trade, diplomacy, and securing Australia's future in an increasingly complex region. With $180 billion in exports at stake, is it time to rethink our alliance with the
    US and embrace a more independent, pragmatic foreign policy"

    Well. As it stands today, there are quite a few things about which we
    can critique the Chinese government, but all of that also applies to the
    US, specially under this orange regime.
    Why do we have to single out China for the hysterical hate and
    scaremongering? Is it because the US so demands from us, vassals???

    We are in no real danger of any pending Chinese military invasion, and
    China is not even that scary communist monster those LNP and Murdoch
    goons want to make us believe.
    China is a through and through capitalist country...~50% fully private
    and the rest state capitalist. As to its human rights violations, there
    is little that is unique about it ... well, look no further for
    something quite similar that the orange MAGAt dystopia or the Israeli genocidal regime.

    China is one of our more significant trading partners...and our
    billionaires earn large fortunes from that relationship. So why is that ongoing tantrum the Australian hard right is doing all over the media landscape???
