Terrilltf Yet Australia has people on Manus 😣😕😑😮

This is terrifying!

Sick to my stomach.

So we’re condemning the footage? Of the Chinese govt? Who wrote this silly tweet?

looks like a routine prisoner transfer - rule of law - despite ethnicity

Things rarely happen by accident in China, so there's a good chance this footage was deliberately leaked by the Chinese government, to scare Hong Kong protesters into silence.

This is disgusting.

And Scummo kowtows to them....as for not buying Chinese products. Not easy, virtually every thing is made over there... :-/

Terrifying rise of totalitarianism and autocracy. The Chinese people deserve so much better than such power hungry leadership. CCP ChineseExpansion

China is a totalitarian dictatorship, what do we expect?

Don’t buy Chinese produce . Easy !

Awful . It’s like a another universe.

'Trump is tough on trade but the Chinese can be tougher' | Sky News AustraliaDeloitte Access Economics partner Nicki Hutley says Australia’s economy is caught in the middle of the US-China trade dispute. \n\nSpeaking to Sky News on Monday, Ms Hutley said “increased uncertainty has a direct impact on business investment so that’s just not going to help the economy when we’ve already got that slowing momentum”. \n\n“If there’s additional uncertainty it doesn’t help anyone, certainly not the Chinese economy on which we are so dependent,” she said. \n\nMs Hutley said she did not expect the two economic heavy-weights to reach an agreement anytime soon. \n\n“Trump says he’s keen to negotiate a deal, but we’re not seeing any signs of that and as tough as he can be, the Chinese I think can be tougher,” she said. \n\nImage: AP How ? by using you fake news media 😂😂😂😂 MAGA!!!! China manufacturers everything it needs and it's domestic economy is well over half its GDP, China can live without the USA much longer than the USA can live without China 😂😂😂

What happens when children don't learn their mother tongueShyamla, who was born to a Tamil father and Fijian-Indian mother, was only taught English as a child. Now, she feels like she has been locked out of her culture. Nowadays you can easily pick up a travel dictionary or even just Google translate. This will let you learn enough of the language basics to survive wherever you go. I dunno... this report sounds like an oxymoron, nothing is barring her from embracing or acknowledging the other parts of her ancestry. She's an Australian, already speaks English & ought to learn an indigenous language of the land upon which she resides. Learn the way of this land, her home.
