You are still addressing outcome without given the cause. You citations are also not supporting your claims. > Australia spent decades gearing their economy to China’s [0] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australia%E2%80%93China_relations#Economic_relations https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australia%E2%80%93China_rela... What's the point economic ties between 2 countries are tied from both ends. Are you suggesting Aus is friendly to CN, as friendly as CN is towards AUS? I see no point of this in supporting any claim regarding AUS' change of political stance. All things considered, it should be clear that it was AUS that starts to act threateningly towards CN, without CN provoking. > The fury that erupted due to Xi’s string of fuckups, from trade disputes [1] to security encroachments after breaking its agreement with Hong Kong and threatening Taiwan [3] Trade disputes was triggered by AUS' political stance. You got cause and effect wrong. > domestic meddling [2] This is amusing report. You cannot label natural increasing of influence with intentional political manipulation. That's why Hollywood can affect nation's sentiment and culture, so much so that modern young people are strikingly resemble each other at different countries. The countries affected by Hollywood can censor the movie, but they never claim Washington's "meddling", or that claim is anyway sensible. But the same thing does not apply the reverse. Or any White countries. Now you reveal where the white supermacy lives. > security encroachments after breaking its agreement with Hong Kong and threatening Taiwan [3] Those are domestic issues, let's not mudding the water by mixing international and domestic affairs. But anyway, these are normal operation taken routinely by any sovereign nations. National security law, sovereign integrity, etc. > significant enough that its people chose to incur economic pain for self preservation. What? Where is the logical connection from someone becoming rich with someone else feeling unsafe?
