Australia is beginning to see the flip side of Chinese diplomacy as a senior Chinese diplomat opts for the "charm offensive" after months of failed naked coercion according to the Australian Strategic Policy Institute's Michael Shoebridge.

China's Deputy Head of Mission in Australia Wang Xining spoke to the National Press Club on Wednesday, and delivered a speech highlighting the supposed strength of the relationship between the two nations. "Today we've got the deputy ambassador on a bit of a charm offensive with some beautiful floury language," Mr Shoebridge told Sky News. He said perhaps this is the beginning of the "flip side of Chinese diplomacy".

Fun to see michael_ASPI bursting the good cop bad cop tactics of CCP, beware that 'divide and conquer' shall be scheming in the dark. When divided, you shall see the fangs of the lovely panda.

China opts for the 'charm offensive', and Australians make the same error and sell our their country to the Chicoms all over again. 🙄

Emperor Xi Can buy me. Make me an offer.

Australians need to remember their ABC when buying ...Anyone But China!

Australia needs tactical nuclear weapons as a deterrent against China's expansionist ambitions.

New data shows 70 per cent health care staff infected at work | Sky News AustraliaNew data has indicated about 70 per cent of health care workers infected with the coronavirus contracted the disease at their workplace.\n\nVictoria Chief Medical Officer Andrew Wilson confirmed the statistic on Tuesday, saying “poor infection practice has probably been the main driver of infection.” \n\nHealth personnel made up a significant portion of the state’s active caseload, with about 70 per cent of infected frontline workers sourced to nurses and about nearly half of those from aged care settings. \n\nThe new figure is a drastic leap from a previous claim by the state’s chief health officer who said only about 15 per cent of health workers caught the virus in their work setting. \n\nImage: News Corp Australia So would it be safe to say that Health Care Workers were a source of community transmission Sounds about right. It’s the opposite of what the Vic government said so it must be true. Did any of them die? 🤔

There is 'no logic' to Australia's avoidance of nuclear power | Sky News AustraliaBroadcaster Michael McLaren says it is simply fear and ideology that is keeping Australia from using nuclear power.\n\nAustralia has 40 per cent of the world’s uranium reserves, and yet it is illegal to operate a nuclear reactor in the country.\n\nThere are 450 nuclear power plants worldwide. \n\n“Even Joe Biden … and his Green New Deal is saying that small, modular, nuclear reactors have to be part of America’s future,” Mr McLaren told Sky News host Alan Jones. \n\n“Even sleepy Joe gets it, and yet out here, as you said, we’ve got the world’s largest uranium mine at Olympic Dam.\n\n“Cory Bernardi knows better than most, South Australia could become one of the wealthiest jurisdictions in the world if they allowed nuclear energy and the safe storage of waste in the middle of nowhere in South Australia.\n\n“And yet for whatever reason - there’s no logic to it, it’s just fear and ideology - we don’t proceed.”\n\nImage: Getty Michael ... Read the fine print......its all about money. I don't care about ideology, the fear factor may bring out the Chernobyl cheer squad. The reality is electricity is already too expensive. Nuclear power will really hike up the price further. Go nuclear or go home. We dont want Nuclear. Use Solar or wave technology and lead the world that way instead of following suit with bad ideas. The Pacific is already full of Nuclear waste from Japan, we should learn lessons.

China doesn't interfere in Australia's internal affairs: Chinese Embassy | Sky News AustraliaChinese Embassy Deputy Head Wang Xining has claimed 'China does not interfere in Australia's internal affairs', calling on the two governments to adhere to the principles of “respect, goodwill, fairness and vision”.\n\nAddressing the National Press Club, Mr Wang said “we should respect sovereignty and integrity … we should respect each other's legal system and rule of law, and refrain from interrupting the other's legal proceedings and undertakings”.\n\n“The last thing China wants to do is to inflict on others what China suffered. Or to bully others as we were bullied,” he said.\n\nReflecting on the principle of 'goodwill', Mr Wang claimed both Australia and China needed to “embrace equality, freedom' and needed to 'uphold justice and the rule of law”.\n\nHe caveated the statement with the reminder “most importantly we both wish the other to live as aspired by choosing a methodology that we find fit and proper for ourselves”.\n\nThe Chinese spokesperson went on to highlight the mutual aid, diplomacy, trade and goodwill between the nations while equally highlighting the value of Communism over the failures of Capitalist 'consumerism'.\n\n“A fair, open, non- discriminant policy, and regulatory environment that offers strongest market predictability, financial stability and legal reliability does enormous good to our business,” he said. \n\nLooking at the final principle of ‘vision’ Mr Wang said Australia and China should look to move beyond the commercial partnership to becoming strategic partners in the Asia-Pacific region.\n\n'As China and Australia sit geographically at the two ends of this region, trade and investment between us not only generate value investment between us … but will also bring opportunities to third-party business, instill vitality in neighbouring economies,' Mr Wang said.\n\n\n Oh, okay, wasn't I a fool for thinking such a thing. Getting into bed with China. Like dating a hooker and demanding fidelity nonsense. CCP is not trustworthy. People should focus on what ccp does, not what they talk.
