China will inflict pain if Abbott blunders on
December 24, 2013 Hugh White
Tony Abbott could hardly have got off to a worse start in managing Australia's most important and complex diplomatic relationship. If he does not change his tune, Beijing will start inflicting pain. Abbott seems not yet to understand how much pain it can inflict, on him and on Australia. He will soon learn. He is about to get a lesson on the nature of power.
China was already uneasy about Abbott before he became Prime Minster because of things he'd said in opposition about Chinese investment, Tibet and Taiwan. But its anger now is about the Abbott government's approach to strategic tensions in north-east Asia, especially between China and Japan.
Abbott will keep getting foreign policy badly wrong until he learns differently, and the Chinese are about to teach him
Just as those tensions have been escalating sharply, Abbott has swung Australia dramatically away from an even-handed position towards strong support for Japan. To Beijing this is a clear move against it on an issue of vital importance. It is not just about who owns a few tiny rocks in the East China Sea. It is ultimately about how Asia accommodates China's growing power and ambition. Nothing matters to Beijing more.
The new government's swing towards Japan began within a month of the election, when Australia signed a strikingly pro-Japanese joint statement at the annual US-Japan-Australia foreign ministers meeting. A few days later Abbott gushingly described Japan as ''Australia's best friend in Asia''. The last month's AUSMIN communique was unprecedentedly pro-Japan. Advertisement
This all helps explain the intensity of Beijing's displeasure at our government's response to China's new air defence identification zone in late November. Canberra orchestrated a highly publicised dressing-down of the Chinese ambassador over an issue in which, from Beijing's perspective, we have no direct involvement and were gratuitously siding with Japan against China.
China's anger grew further when Abbott responded to Beijing's initial sharp criticism of these moves. In what we are starting to recognise as characteristic of his diplomacy, Abbott responded to criticism by coming back swinging harder still. In doing this he said two very strange and unwise things.
First, he explained Australia's position by saying that Australia is ''a strong ally of Japan'', and directly compared our alliance with Japan with our alliance with America. That certainly confirms Beijing's ideas about where Abbott stands in the escalating rivalry between Asia's giants. But it is simply false. Australia is not an ''ally'' of Japan in any serious sense - and certainly not at all in the sense that we are an ally of the US.
And it is an extremely serious thing to say at a time when Japan's relations with China are sliding towards a precipice. As Japan's ''ally'', does Abbott agree with Tokyo's new national security strategy, released last week, which explicitly accused China of trying to change the status quo in Asia by coercion?
Second, Abbott dismissed any suggestion that his forthright support of Japan might cost Australia economically. ''China trades with us because it is in China's interests to trade with us,'' he breezily affirmed. So he thinks there's no chance that we'd actually have to pay any price for his posturing.
Yeah, no doubt. China can and probably will inflict serious pain on us, unless someone grabs this Tony fukkin monkey by his deformed ears, and forces him to listen.
These guys need to understand that kow-towing to the party line in Washington will not cut the mustard down here.
The current Aussie government is a disgrace to this country. Rudd the stooge or Julia the irrelevant was even worse.

Don't worry, he's doing our work for us!
Anybody who didn't realize Abbot is all at sea in international relations ain't too bright!
The next trick of our glorious banks will be to charge us a fee for using net bank!!! You are no longer customer, you are property!!!
They want our iron ore and our houses, and the whole world.
If they overtake the US as the strongest power the world will never recover.
Fuck em.

Ignore posts by The Whole Truth · View Post · End Ignoring The forum fuckwit goes RRRAAARRRGGHHhhh - But not a fuck was given..................by anyone.
Moops, China is already there as a super power. They hold all the cards.
The U.S. owes them $1.5 trillion officially. The truth about all the hedge funds and derivatives and other private American corporations and billionaires who have invested countless billions in China is coming out now.
The last war with Syria was averted based on the reality that we can't be in the ME playing nanny to all those stupid countries, while China disapproves our actions. It's been a tectonic shift in world politics after that. The U.S. listens to China now, not the other way around.
Anything and almost everything tangible sold in Walmart (the worlds biggest & most powerful company) is made in China. The 300+ million U.S. peasants are by default indentured to the Walmart republic.
Just to quote the former Reagan Treasury official Paul Craig Roberts from one of his damning articles...........'The entire annual U.S. exports in dollar value including oil & gas derivatives, manufactured goods, weapons, corporate and IP's from Intel, Microsoft and Apple the whole 9 yards is only a fraction of what Walmart imports annually from China'.
For us down here, fukkin China lifts a finger, and all our projects stop overnight. It's a different world now.
For a government to forcibly relocate hundreds of millions of people from the countryside and put em to work for $2/ hr sewing jeans or making soap........fukk we can't compete with them. This is exactly what China is doing, and looks like it is winning.
The U.S. agenda now is to frantically pit India, Australia, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, Philippines, South Korea, Japan and Taiwan against them, and establish a major pivot in SE Asia, and realign our forces, against this new Chinese reawakening, and try to limit the energy and resources that the Chinese have been gobbling up worldwide. I believe this policy is fraught with failure too. It won't work.
The imagery you have posted is you to a tee moop All hat, no cattle
Another boring post from the idiot.
Yeah yeah, we get it, you're king shit for stealing property.

1.5 trillion? I thought it was more than that. That's no much for the US to owe. Their GDP is 14 trillion.
I'm sure the west and other countries can start making their shitty stuff to replace China.
They make hard drives in Thailand, and Bangladesh makes clothes.

1.5 trillion US dollar treasuries, bank of China's reserves. To put it simply 1.5 trillion in credit was pushed towards the US market so the US keeps on buying Chinese rubbish they don't need. However this doesn't show what the private debt is.
The next trick of our glorious banks will be to charge us a fee for using net bank!!! You are no longer customer, you are property!!!
even moops can see the obvious but loadpuller can't
timmy, I saw your kind at the Chadstone mall today. Bogans like you in tatters standing outside the Gucci and Chanel stores in shock & awe at the prices, and intimidated by the store security. Too afraid and embarrassed to summon the courage to walk in.
Them stores were full of fukkin Chinese by the dozens buying little nick knacks for tens of thousands of dollars.
Only they got the money to splurge..........not your low income ass.
Moops, China's FOREX reserves are also the highest in the world at $3.7 trillion, that's larger than the entire GDP of EU's powerhouse Germany. They can literally flat out buy countries like ours full of unskilled/ uneducated bogans.
