Sky Information host Rowan Dean says China has “chutzpah” for making use of to affix a trans-Pacific commerce settlement initially designed to counter China’s affect.
“What we must be doing is utilizing this chance to say: ‘okay China, effectively in case you actually need to hop into mattress with us right here, begin shopping for our lobster, our wine,” Mr Dean advised Sky Information host Chris Smith.
“Cease these infantile video games you play.
“Australia may truly flip the tables on China.”

China communist spy traitor Joe Biden of The USA wants Australia to scrap its existing deals with its loyal allies that will put Australia under the overrule of China and its communist axis including China communist spy traitor Joe Biden of The USA. Australia MUST refuse entry into and acceptance of this situation!!
Australia scrapping its existing defense deals for deals with China communist spy traitor Joe Biden of The USA is the backdoor way for China to penetrate Australian defenses and secure control of Australia. Australia MUST keep its existing defense deals with its loyal allies!!
The communist axis of the CCP all the way down the line to and including China communist spy traitor Joe Biden of The USA have been trying to weaken and break Australias defenses and this promise of new defense contracts from China communist spy traitor Joe Biden of The USA is the backdoor way to penetrate them to secure a much larger, stronger and complete communist hold upon and within Australia!!
Dutton done the deal the traitor Judas Morrison just pinched the glory
Chutzpah? what's wrong with the Australian term "cheek"? Or a bloody hide?
chutzpah sound like some new transgender variant.
Collins class are much quieter than Virginia class . How does the media always get facts mixed up ?
lol I'm sure the other ten other members would prefer to ditch Australia a tiny enconomy for China. .How about australia stop this BS china threat following their USA masters. The Trans-Pacific trade agreement is going to fail anyway
@kim malone beckford many of the hollywood AFRICAN AMERICAN celebrities dont look black they look light skin & mixed race.elle magazine says they use this lotion fer.la which makes them look far more light skin & mixed race and not black anymore. Im not surprised everybody seems to change their appearance these days.
40 years ago my dad said when you buy something that’s made in China your helping to support The Communists. He said they have an agenda to take over the world one dollar at a time.
Say NO to china…they have done enough damage to the planet already….
Peace and prosperity is a common good ……
China had been Australia biggest customer for decades and brought prosperity to Australia.
Sco Mo wants to be the USA deputy ……and treat China as a Cold War enemy.
And how is making enemies ever enriched any country.
The USA wants to maintain its global leader role and enlisted Australia help.
China bogged down 10 mil Japanese troops in WW2 and helped the allies won .
China lost 10 mil people in WW2 …..
If China had not fought……all of you would be speaking Japanese now !
China had NOT fought a war against Australia …..
Got to be careful those who have the power to permit China in to the pack are not corrupted by money, women or other type of bribery. The Chinese communist have taken over the UN, WHO and WTO to name a few now useless organizations.
The perfect letter will say "No" Change your ways for the next 30 years, THEN we will consider it
What's happened to the reporting on Sky news! They have so much happening on there own door step that it is turning there country into a new communist China. Australia has a Super fascist state and there's no reporting on their brown shirt police in Melbourne. Another platform that as gone down the toilet.
With China, many Aussies are absolute hypocrites.
‘Revolution is just a T-shirt away,” sings Billy Bragg. The T-shirts are made in China like everything else. We wear and consume the proof of the success of the Chinese Revolution and they drink our wine, use our iron ore, eat our tucker and enrich our entire tourism and education sectors.
It is almost impossible for almost anyone in the world to go a single day without buying or using something from China.
China is the engine of the world and now rules the world economically. We once ludicrously feared Reds under the beds. Now they’ve made the beds we lie in. One in five people in the world is Chinese.
The People’s Republic of China (as even ardent conservatives attest) achieved the greatest social, political and economic miracle in world history by raising 1 billion Chinese people out of feudal poverty into a middle class in 50 years. And dragged along prosperities for hundreds of million poor peoples around the world.
China has wisely followed the American and British examples of economic colonisation of the world but avoided the appalling errors of fighting useless and expensive wars. China has not caused a war for many years.
The economy of the world is predicated on China. We ignore China’s communism when we make money from it, but because of the COVID-19 virus we are suddenly sabre-rattling and loathing China’s political system. Hypocrisy rules.
Britain lied about COVID-19 mortality rates, and Trump’s US continues to exacerbate the virus. Has Australia demanded an inquiry into those countries? No. Japan has been building islands for decades with no international criticism. China builds islands and we send gunboats.
Australia rails against China’s human rights violations yet we continue to imprison refugees in concentration camps and continue to treat Aboriginal people appallingly. Australia is the nation which persecuted and demeaned the Chinese and others through the iniquitous White Australia policy.
Australia continues to treat the Chinese with racism and suspicion through an apparent genetic disposition to distrust them. We despair of Chinese surveillance of its citizens yet increase surveillance on our own. We despair of the Chinese persecution of minority races yet we are eternally trying to weaken our own Racial Discrimination Act.
Our Government is trying to suppress the press. We welcomed the English lords Vestey and McAlpine owning half of northern Australia, we allow American surveillance and military bases and yet we resent any Chinese investment in Australia.
China is a developing nation and is far from perfect – but we have much to learn from it. The cold war against China is damaging and dangerous. The British tried twice to poison and weaken the Chinese through opium addiction, invaded China and stole Hong Kong. There are Australians and Americans who’d gladly try to repeat that.
Sadly, Sinophobia is back officially and publicly as Australians are spitting on Chinese-Australians. Shame.
We are encouraged to criticise China but we rail against Chinese criticism of us. Isn’t Professor Kam Louie, of Hong Kong University, right when he says Australian leadership is “male, pale and stale”, and aren’t the Chinese right when they say Australia is America’s dog?
The Chinese came to Australia before the British, traded peacefully with Aboriginal people and had the good manners not to invade, claim the country and dispossess and massacre them.
The US and Britain are dying. China is flourishing. Napoleon was right when he said 200 years ago: “China is a sleeping giant. When she wakes, she will move the world.”
Australia must move with and not against China with respect and showing good example. Then we grow together in the great leap forward. Put that on a T-shirt made in China.

South China Sea Dispute
There has been a lot of articles South China Sea (SCS) dispute and China’s 9 Dash Line articles in recent time, with a majority of them twisting facts and trying to claim that China is bullying smaller countries with their growing military might when China is simply trying to reclaim what is rightfully theirs.
In 1946 at the end of WW2 it was a US Navy battleship that took Chinese soldiers to reclaim all the islands that are currently under dispute in the SCS as China simply lacked capable ship at the time. Thus, the original R.O.C 11 Dash Line was drawn in 1947 after China recovered all the islands, the 11 Dash Line linked all the islands together to clearly mark China territorial waters which was at the time recognized by the American and international community. The 11 Dash Line was only reduced to the 9 Dash Line when China secretly transferred Bach Long Vi in the Gulf of Tonkin from China to Vietnam in 1957 so that the island could host a new radar base to provide an early warning of American planes and to serve as a transitional post for Vietnam incoming war aid material as the Vietnam War escalated. It was a goodwill and war aid material from China to support Vietnam against the US invasion. From this, we can tell how ungrateful and traitorous the Vietnamese are with their current aggressive stances toward China.
Furthermore, all historical document sign by or involved any of the countries associated with the current disputes didn't lay any claim to any of the island involved in the current SCS dispute. For example:
— In the 1898 Paris Treaty signed between America and Spain, both countries acknowledged that none of the disputed islands belong to the Philippines as the Philippines territory extends to the east of east meridian 118 while the dispute islands laid west of east Meridian 118.
— In the 1945 Proclamation Defining Terms for Japanese Surrender contained the following statement: ‘’the Japanese sovereignty shall be limited to the islands of Honshu, Hokkaido, Kyushu, Shikoku, and such minor islands as we determine,” as had been announced in the Cairo Declaration in 1943; which clearly stated it didn't include Diaoyu Islands. In addition, the Cairo Declaration in 1943 also clearly stated all the territories Japan has stolen from the Chinese shall be restored to the Republic of China (that represented China at the time) and these documents were signed with Chinese participation.
The American recognition of the 11 Dash Line lasted until San Francisco Conference in 1951 when the American specifically excluding China from the conference as the Communist Party in China-controlled most of mainland China at the time and proclaimed the establishment of the People's Republic of China in 1949. At the San Francisco Conference, the American made unilateral arrangement in an attempt to deny Chinese ownership of their islands that was previously international recognised belonging to China and put all these islands into a dispute. However, at the time no one including the current neighbouring claimants bothered to dispute China's claim to these islands and reefs, but China also did not have the ability to consistently enforce its sovereignty to these islands due to lack of military power and internal weakness caused by WW2 and the Civil War. Neighbouring states only started to violate China's claim, occupying certain islands and reefs when it was speculated that the South China Sea might contain oil and gas. For example:
— During the San Francisco Treaty of 1951 in the absence of China and with the support of the American, the Philippine claim ownership of the disputed island, nevertheless the Philippine did not declare ownership of the disputed islands until late 1970 by self-proclamation.
— The America took over the administrative duty of Diaoyu Islands at San Francisco Conference from China and promised to relay it to UN which they never did. The American kept the administrative rights until 1971 then transfer the administrative control of the islands to Japan at the opposition of China.
— The rest of the disputed is laid according to the 1994 United Nation Convention of Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) 200 nautical mile EEZs which didn't come into existence until 47 years after the establishment of dash-lines and International laws generally don't have judicial to things which preceded it. Therefore it shouldn't be applied here in the first place.
Once again all the dispute was supported by the American and the American even announced that “The United States has a national interest in freedom of navigation, open access to Asia's maritime commons, and respect for international law in the South China Sea”. The United States has also called for unfettered access to the area that China claims as its own, and accused Beijing of adopting an increasingly aggressive stance on the high seas. The American has also frequently sent warships into the disputed area on so call Freedom of Navigation Operations.
Now if we look at historical evidence we can further assure China claims to these islands and the 9 or 11 Dash Line.
Diaoyu Islands — China claimed the discovery and ownership of the islands from the 14th century and the first Chinese records of these islands date back to as early as the 15th century when they were referred as Diaoyu Dao. While the Japanese maintained ownership of the islands from 1895 until its surrender at the end of World War II which ownership should have been returned to China according to the Cairo Declaration. In the 1945 Proclamation Defining Terms for Japanese Surrender also contains this statement.
Spratly and Paracel Islands — The earliest written record of the Spratly Islands can be found in documents dating from the Eastern Han Dynasty 25 AD and The earliest written record of the Paracel islands can be found in historical documents dating from the Song Dynasty 960 AD. The 1887 Chinese-Vietnamese Boundary convention signed between France and China after the Sino-French War states that China was the owner of the Spratly and Paracel islands. The Qing dynasty also sent naval forces on inspection tours in 1902 and 1907 and placed flags and markers on the islands. The Qing dynasty's successor state, the Republic of China, claimed the Spratly and Paracel islands under the jurisdiction of Hainan. The Japanese occupied the Paracels and the Spratlys from February 1939 to August 1945, which was handed back to the Republic of China at the end of WW2 according to the Cairo and Potsdam Declarations.
In summary, all evidences support China 9 Dash Line historical and sovereignty claim in the South China Sea. However, it has been continuously undermined with the support of the US in their greed and ambition of controlling the world energy resources, world hegemony and containment of China’s rise. International laws and organizations such as the UN are just becoming tools for the US and are no longer performing the traditional roles that they were created for in the first place. If we use the same standard of argument used against China in the SCS then the international community need to do a lot more American occupation and military bases in Guam, Diego Garcia and other Pacific islands.

US State Dept Chief of Spatial Geography and Boundary Analysis, Daniel Dzurek, who works as a professional geographer with distinction on this exact subject; from his book "The Spratly Islands dispute: Who's on First":
"Because the Allies, in particular the United Kingdom and the United States, could not agree on which government represented China, no Chinese delegation participated in the 1951 San Francisco Peace Conference. Therefore the Republic of China (Taiwan) negotiated a separate peace treaty with Japan, signed on 28 April 1952. Article 2 of the text included a reference to the San Francisco treaty: “It is recognized that under Article 2 of the Treaty of Peace with Japan signed in the city of San Francisco in the United States of American on September 8 1951, Japan has renounced all right, title and claim to Taiwan (Formosa) and Penghu (the Pescadores) as well as the Spratly Islands and Paracel Islands”. Republic of China has argued that the explicit reference to the Spratly and Paracel islands in the text of this bilateral treaty implies Japanese recognition of Chinese sovereignty. Samuels and Lu have observed that, unlike the 1951 treaty, the Sino-Japanese text mentions the Spratly and Paracel islands in thesame sentence as Taiwan and the Pescadores islands. The latter are generally recognized as Chinese territories. Moreover, according to the negotiating record Japan insisted that the renunciation article deal only with Chinese territory. This shows that the ROC and Japan viewed the islands of Taiwan, the Pescadores, the Spratlys, and the Paracels as having a similar status – that is, belonging to China"
US State Dept South China Sea expert Ambassador Chas Freeman who served for decades in the region, regarding China's claim to the SCS:
"In 1945, in accordance with the Cairo and Potsdam Declarations and with American help, the armed forces of the Republic of China government at Nanjing accepted the surrender of the Japanese garrisons in Taiwan, including the Paracel and Spratly Islands. Nanjing then declared both archipelagoes to be part of Guangdong Province. In 1946 it established garrisons on both Woody (now Yongxing) Island in the Paracels and Taiping Island in the Spratlys."

"Your mama dresses you funny." Just joking, that is a US thing. You look great to me.
I live in the US, and I hope this is a strong alliance, but looking at Afghanistan, Viet Nam, etc., can you really trust the US Government to stand by you? We get the locals to help get rid of the horrible elements, and when politics gets in the way of votes, we abandon our allies.
China is now has joint 😁👍
AUSTRALIA HAS 'DIMWIT FUCKTAR UPSHITCREEK' FOR THINKING SHE CAN BLOCK CHINA. LOL.
Australia liberals must be different from our liberals in the US, because they’re THE PROBLEM here!😂
Balls are not brains
Of coarse China wants to join TPP.
So they can use abuse it like WTO
