By the way, since you know Chinese history, what about your contention that China "likes to believe" it has experienced injustice? I challenged you on that very assertion and all you've done is to dodge it. Up your game if you want to discuss your point.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-8413860261429394802018-06-19T13:58:21.175-07:002018-06-19T13:58:21.175-07:00When someone knows one who always purports to be t...When someone knows one who always purports to be the expert on any subject. Although it’s sometimes helpful to get actual advice a person can use, the constant drumbeat of supposedly knowledge-based conclusions that comes out of this person’s mouth leaves a person feeling that somehow they are defective. When a person thinks about it, the advice was useful, but it was given in a tone of voice that seems to have been designed to drive the point home that a person's ideas — and they — completely lack validity.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-53053334778310617282018-06-19T13:06:22.422-07:002018-06-19T13:06:22.422-07:00Yes indeed I know Chinese History and I also lived...Yes indeed I know Chinese History and I also lived there. China believes Korea was a part of it....not true. It also likes to say it discovered Australia....that is...how Yi, Jinping is touting it. Actually, "injustices Yi, Jinping is harbouring for the past and using it in 2018 is revenge. Yi, Jinping does not have any intention of considering reconciliation of any kind. Do you always use a menacing tone instead of asking what someone is thinking?

The Opium Wars never happened? The forceful intrusion of European and American powers, that was made up? The seizure of Hong Kong and Macau some self-serving bit of propaganda?<br /><br />Do you grasp that a matter of a few centuries ago, China and India were the world's largest economies? Western powers put an end to that, driving those countries ultimately into subservience and crushing poverty. <br /><br />You either don't know this history or you imagine the Chinese should simply let bygones be bygones, something we would never have entertained.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-51847253311458471482018-06-19T11:29:11.009-07:002018-06-19T11:29:11.009-07:00And no...Canada is playing blind.

The Big Show is the Clash of the Titans, Washington versus Beijing. There's the one to watch because it's possible that could end in fireworks." Please get a copy of Clive Hamilton's "Silent Invasion"". Published in Policy Forum, 9 April 2018. How committed is Australia to its foundational liberal values? Some of the responses to the emerging debate on CCP influence in the country provide plenty of reason for concern. It's China's dream of taking the world quietly and making it pay for all the injustices it likes to believe has happened to it.
