Australian government should understand more about the reasons behind why China takes such action over Hong Kong before barking up the wrong tree again

Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews has done a much better job than the Morrison’s clan including Dutton and Payne. No one needs to suck up or kowtow to China to spare the economic pain. Diplomacy to develop good relationship is the key to success to achieve a win-win situation.

Why are Morrison and his two ministers so adamant singling out Wuhan as though it is the origin of the pandemic? How can any one with such biased, undiplomatic and gung-ho traits be a good leader for the country?

I do think many politicians, not only in Australia, let power get to their heads, and leave no room for clear and logical thinking. They do not read enough before they bark up the wrong tree, causing misery to the people of the country.

Not letting go their egoistic initial wrong decision, is like a dung beetle latching on some dung in a field, rolling it into a dung ball and growing it bigger and bigger.

More and more scientists around the world have come out with research findings that the origin of the virus was not from Wuhan, and the virus variant from from Wuhan is not the same found in the USA and other countries outside China.

If the origin of the virus is found to be from another country, will that country pay trillions of dollars In compensation to all affected around the world? Is Australia going to eat the left over pies from the face that was thrown at it?

Morrison government, this is not the way to gain publicity and recognition from other countries. Australia still has a long, long, long way to be the world leader. Will I see the day? I have no confidence at all not even if the sun stops rising from the East!

There are several global quiet achieving country, but Australia is not one of them, so long if the so called leaders continue to be big headed and pig headed.

Farmer turmoil as China‘s hunger for Australia wanes

It only takes about half a century for China to rise from a poor developing country to what it is today - the second largest economy, a superpower with spaceship that reaches the dark side of the moon, high speed trains that connect major and smaller cities, largest port in the world, skyscrapers among the tallest in the world, etc.

How can that happen to China but not Australia? Australia is still talking additional runways in major airports, train track not well maintained to handle trains run at higher speed, let alone dreaming of high speed train, water supply that continues to cause interstate conflict, etc.

China was backed to the corner, some cities were attacked and occupied by the various countries after the fall of the last empire. In order to survive China supplied cheap labour, not imported workers, to produce goods for complacent countries perceived to be a class above. Soon these countries enjoyed cheap products, including high-tech devices and fashion, but lost the knack of hard work, and manufacturing skills. Compounding the problem is the squabble of political parties and divided national pride. Governments slow about the progress of the country and tend to forget the well-being of the people.

China had to start from ground up, determined and continues move forward.

Australians can be nationalistic, but it does not have the external pressure to make this a united nation. It is naive to make enemies instead of friends, because without trade with China, Australia cannot feed hungry stomachs. Cost of living will sky rocket if Australia relies on its labour force to do things at such relaxed pace. It is unimaginable that unions will rise again to rule the country.

Schools are under the state jurisdiction, so let Dan run his state the way he sees fit.

It is bad enough to treat teachers differently that schools are exempted from social distancing. This puts undue pressure and risk on the teachers.

The low number of children infection cases is likely to be proportional to the number of children being tested. What this simply means, the statistics all around the world about children being infected is very rubbery and the degree of tolerance is questionable.

Once again we look like diplomatic amateurs on China

The world is getting more and more dangerous to live in, and is facing complete destruction caused by aggressive, undiplomatic, self-centred, power hungry politicians.

Australia, with reasonably low fatalities in this pandemic, unless the second wave strikes hard, can become the world leader of peace and humanity, but its government chooses to be the Deputy Sheriff and know-tow not to China but to the US.

Printing money or keep borrowing are not the ways to get Australia out of financial wows after the pandemic. Australia is not the Gilligan’s Island, and needs injection of foreign investment and having other countries to buy its coal, iron ore, wine, education and tourism.

India has more coal than Australia and Russia holds the second largest reserve. As for iron ore, Brazil is still a very large exporter despite its production has fallen to 4th place in the last quarter.
