Chinese influence operations aren't particularly new, and orthodox interpretations of Chinese history are of a lotus-eating, navel-gazing nation that has seldom ventured beyond its borders. Except that China started as a small kingdom on the banks of the Yellow River that has now grown into an empire the size of a continent. It is the 3rd largest country in the world after Russia and Canada. Most of Russia and Canada are tundra. The same cannot be said about China, which has been inhabited for thousands of years. Keeping the empire together has necessitated the period shedding of oceans of blood. To keep the aggressive impulses of the empire's military commanders from devolving into civil war, Chinese rulers have traditionally acquired and annexed neighboring territories from time to time. We may be on the cusp of such a period, given Xi's recent ascension from mere term-limited officeholder to de facto emperor.

When I was in Australia, I noticed a publication called “New Dawn”.
It was basically a conspiracy oriented mag, but it had a very pro-Chinese bias to it, at least in the issue I looked at.

Mark my words, China one day will say the hell with paying for resources from Australia and will one day attack based upon a false flag or other event. Australia will assist in its own demise by disarming its population and caving to the NWO global goals including Agenda 21, 2030 and the climate change hoax.

The Aussies should acquire bio-weapons & tell the Chi-coms that if they attack there will be nothing left of them. A simple way to secure your homeland.

China is well on its way to owning Africa...I’ve seen it up close during several recent visits there.It’s not at all surprising to learn that they’re trying to own a small,relatively weak (militarily weak,that is) country.

I read recently, maybe here on FR, that China is funding communist clubs on many US universities. They’re definitely spreading the disease.
