We can't take it for granted, we have to be very cautious- especially with a country as subversive as China right on our doorstep trying as hard as they can to buy up Australia to make us a part of their Communist regime. We'll be better off when their economy finally collapses.

It will be great to know then we can focus on solutions rather than rhetoric.
