The New Silk Road - How Enemies became Allies - China & Middle East

Victoria's hopes to play a part in the One Belt One Road initiative BRI, but Dutton describes it as “a propaganda initiative from China” that brings an “enormous amount of foreign interference”.

When the federal government overturned Victoria's controversial Belt and Road agreements with China, Victoria was made crystal clear that foreign policy would be run by Canberra alone.

Australia continues to align itself with the western bloc, because it has an ingrained fear of the Yellow Peril and the Domino Theory.

Let's enjoy the video and learn more why Australia's fear of BRI may be ill-founded.

Thank you.

My Opinion: Short sharp lockdown is the right decision

My opion

Isn't Australia in lockdown from international visitors? Why?

It is not an open and shut case. Any responsible government does not take it lightly to lockdown a state or a country.

Shouldn't all the industries affected by the international border closure be screaming like Lucas of Chin Chin who asked why other states were able to cordon off outbreaks without going into a sweeping lockdown?

It is very unfortunate that Victoria's Case 0 was tested negative several times in South Australia, and then showed symptoms of Covid infection not long after his return to Melbourne. What this means SA could possibly have some walking time bombs not yet detected.

The virus had hitched a flight to travel thousands of kilometres from a foreign country to Australia, infected innocent Case 0 who then further travelled a few more hundreds of kilometres to reach Melbourne. Distance is of no barrier to the virus, and therefore in order to minimise the spread, movement of people must be minimised as well.

Short sharp lockdown is the right decision.
