Mr Glass told Sky News investors are moving assets away from China in anticipation of US President Donald Trump “ratcheting up pressure” on Beijing as part of his re-election strategy. “In the Pengana fund, we are doing things to minismise risk,” he said. “We shifted some of our investments that are Chinese ADRS, so that is Chinese companies listed in America, if we can rather than invest in their Hong Kong listing, we will.

'Kowtow to communist China or expect anger and punishments' | Sky News AustraliaKowtowing is what the Communist Party of China 'expects from people it does business with' and if you don't kowtow in due course 'you're going to get anger and that anger will come out in various punishments,' according to Sky News host Rowan Dean. \n\nMr Dean told Sky News host Chris Smith the regime is 'unhappy with us because we dared speak up' and is now looking to 'slam down' on Australia. \n\nDiplomatic tensions have raised between the two nations following a push by the Morrison government for an independent inquiry into the origins of the deadly coronavirus pandemic. \n\nMr Dean said Beijing now wants to put Australia back in its place through the imposition of tariffs and bans on exports. \n\n'That's the nature of the relationship,' Mr Dean said. \n\n'So we have to accept that and stand up to it, but otherwise we do the opposite, we kowtow and hopefully that's not in the Australian character, it's certainly not in Scott Morrison's character'. \n\n Clearly, international business magnate Rowan Dean prefers his kowtowing be done in the direction of the Murdoch Propaganda Party. It would be a degradation of western civilisation to respond to the CCP on their terms. When faced with and emeny that expects weaknes, show strength. Why does Rowan Dean hate Australian jobs?

US and China have left a huge gap in world leadershipEditorial: In this new world, the one positive sign to emerge over the past weeks is the hope that middle-size countries such as Australia can fill the gap and keep things together. No one thinks that First of all you have got to have a leader. That “New World Order” jargon again.

'Petty and personal bickering' riddles US political debate | Sky News AustraliaAs the United States suffers in the grip of a health and economic crisis, politicians have taken to 'slinging childish insults at each other,” according to Sky News Foreign Coordinator Brent O’Halloran. \n\n“Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats haven’t exactly covered themselves in glory during this pandemic,' he said.\n\nSpeaker of the house Nancy Pelosi launched a person attack at Trump’s weight, calling him “morbidly obese” and this morning “invoked dog droppings in a personal attack”. \n\nMr O’Halloran said the Democrats were not in favour with either the right or the left side of politics and had “been criticised by progressives within their party for backing multi-trillion dollar bailouts of multi-billion corporations while seemingly doing little to support everyday Americans”. \n Brent .... children have very short memories. Trump has been doing this for all his life even before he became political. He certainly doesn't need right wing media trumptrash to defend him. His insults from last presidential campaign. Really. Same here. It’s what they do.

Australia, UK, Canada rebuke China over Hong Kong interventionThe three countries warned China's planned laws forbidding treason, secession, sedition, and subversion against the Central People's Government in Beijing would 'clearly undermine' Hong Kong's autonomy and its citizens' civil liberties. Do you understand now to whom ComradeDan is selling Victoria? I'm pretty sure we have laws forbidding treason, secession, sedition, and subversion... Its hard for some to accept, but HK is part of China. Rioting and vandalism in the name of 'democracy' (which was non existant under British colonial rule) is no longer allowed. Fair enough Thank you Australia.
