ANALYSIS: Viral chaos and global tensions didn't stop an emboldened China from making its move

On September the 11th 2001, not half-an-hour after the second plane smashed into the twin towers, a ministerial adviser in the UK sent an email saying, "it's now a very good day to get out anything we want to bury".With the world focused on a pandemic that started in China, now is the moment chosen by the Chinese leadership toDennis Kwok is a Civic Party politician and warned that if the law comes into force "one country, two systems will officially be erased.

Perhaps the explanation was the global reaction to the bloody crushing of the Tiananmen Square protests in 1989. Even a few months ago the Chinese might have been more cautious and fearful of a negative reaction, especially from the US.A weakened America appears to embolden Xi Jinping Xi Jinping appears ready to face diplomatic anger from the west and a potentially reenergised protest movement in Hong Kong.

But it would be naive to underestimate the determination of many in Hong Kong who have previously spent months battling in the streets against what they see as Beijing's creeping authoritarianism in the territory.

HK is their own territory. Mind our own business first.

The world will have to put up with this until such time as Emperor for life Xi either drops off his perch or his country alienates so many business partners that Chinas economy suffers and he becomes the victim of a strange sudden illness.

well it’s their property after all...

starting your anti-china propaganda piece with a throw back to 9/11

What did Churchill say. Never let a good crisis go to waste.

If China reneges on the Hong Kong 50 year agreement with the UK, you would have to consider that the Chinese government cannot be trusted. If I were an international company with offices in Hong Kong, I would be packing up and leaving. As for a holiday in China: forget that!

what does that to do with Australia?Picking up more fights with China can make us look big and strong, but it's the ordinary workers and businesses who will suffer.

China are picking their allies with money and governance.

An incredible shifty shonkie sneaky underhanded move Brutal, cold and calculating displaying their true colours. and victoria has signed up to the belt and road with these people - unbelievable

almost as if they planned it that way...

It demonstrates how dangerous China’s Regime is to the world. Oblivious of uproar at brutality, retaliated at criticism. Destroying souls & conscience by bribes, intimidation. China’s Regime creating a world of horror for human beings.

Cold War can

neither stop 2020 election 😍

CHINA certainly not keeping their friends close and definitely to lose a few friends over their behaviours in their response to COVID-19.

White House report blasts China, sees 'no value' in engaging with BeijingA White House report has broadly attacked China's predatory economic policies, military build-up, disinformation campaigns and human rights violations. Sure. Because the US has no predatory economic policies, military build-up, disinformation campaigns and human rights violations. The US is the king of hypocrisy..and that's not excusing China auspol Oh come on! This just to support America's actions & U.S. build up of so-called 'defence forces in the South China Sea! If anyone is the aggressor, it is the U.S! Why are they even in the South China Sea? That would be like having threatening naval forces off Sydney. And we didn’t expect that? bonespurs45 is jealous.

$1.7B solar panel subsidies solely pay for the importation from China: Kelly | Sky News AustraliaLiberal MP Craig Kelly says Australia should 'extend' the argument of anti-subsidies China has used to place tariffs on barley to the billions of dollars-worth of solar panels Australia imports from China which are almost entirely subsidised.\n\nChina officially levelled a close to 80 per cent tax on Australia's barley growers amid threats based on allegations of the barley industry dumping into the Chinese market.\n\nMr Kelly told Sky News host Andrew Bolt Australia subsidises the solar panel industry to the tune of $1.7 billion which is a 'hidden green tax' on electricity bills.\n\n'Those subsidies actually underwrite the importation of solar panels into this country'.\n\nHe said when a consumer puts solar panels on their roof, the installer 'gets a subsidy paid through the government,' but the subsidy which flows through to the installer 'helps them pay for the importation of the panels'.\n\n'The cost of the subsidy is equal to the cost of the importation of the solar panels we have from China'.\n\nImage: AP CraigKellyMP Are the LiberalAus party determined to completely wreck our economy? CraigKellyMP How come news outlets like this even give time to this professional Oxygen Theif CraigKellyMP Why doesnt he mention iron ore?
