Australia joins dozens of Western countries urging China to scrap Hong Kong security lawBritain and some two dozen Western countries including Australia have urged China to reconsider its new national security law for Hong Kong, saying Beijing must preserve the right to assembly and free press in the former British colony. Us Blackfellas are Western like the foreign Western migrants and their descendants still here like PM ScoMo? Don't speak for us ! In the 1930s, the world had a chance to stop Hitler but they watched things wind up from afar until it was too late. Getting the same vibe here. Now's the time for the rest of the world to stand up. China is as powerful as it is because the rest of the world allow them to be. Do you really believe China, with all its arrogance, is going to listen? We need to get real. Take back all the assets that were mistakenly sold to Chinese nationals, freeze financial accounts, and the country’s involved to reduce trade to become less dependent. Watch China then
