Yes, but China is killing their industries through racism, too.

Also, Xi being a loving despot and, under his rule, China engaging in genocide and slave labour camps while being an incredibly thin-skinned piss bitch about any form of criticism whatsoever.

Litigating whonshould talk first about their atrocities is dumb and Scomo getting to ride an outrage wave over a political cartoon into not even having to say anything about our very real and terrible ear crimes is fucken bullshit and everyone sucks.

Listening to the news reports you'd think they'd gone and photoshopped an actual scene, like something pretending it's a photograph of an actual event or something.

Then they show you the image and it's obviously a loving political cartoon! Like, why the gently caress would anyone try to pick a fight about this?!

The only reason I can think of is if you think that the war criminals who actually carried out those actions were right, and you don't like to see criticism of them - I wouldn't put it past scomo but it's not a position than any reasonable person should agree with.

ScoMo's only weapons in his bag of political tricks are feigned outrage, calls for decorum to be restored ("Now is not the time"/"How dare Labor try to politicize this issue!") and sitting back and letting public/Murdoch media outrage do the rest of the work, none of which the CCP give the slightest gently caress about. He's a Karen, and like all Karens when they yell for the manager and just get laughed at they don't even know how to back out of the situation gracefully and all they can do is yell louder and hope that eventually works.

The LNP are really effective as an opposition party but whenever they win an election and are called upon to perform actual substantial actions in the real world they just can't back it up.
E: Turnbull was nearly an exception to that rule but that was a big factor in his downfall, and they replaced him with Abbott who exemplifies the rule

It looks like a Chinese developer of some sort, although it says they bought part of the island but don't really go into details as to exactly who owns what, considering apparently a bunch of the island is considered a national park.

Really publicly embarrassing this last week. PM Scott Morrison had been invited by Boris Johnson to speak at a Dec 12 world summit on climate change but someone pointed out Australia's lovely climate policies and the other host nations rescinded the invitation: https://www.smh.com.au/world/europe...211-p56mk7.html

Part of me thinks these morons were just going to be assholes, mask or no. Also as a non-american, I find the whole Trump gear really weird. There was no Bush gear or Obama gear IIRC. My mom did see a souvenir store in Vegas selling MAGA hats once. I figured it was because those hats were a meme.

He never admits he was wrong, never apologizes and never admits defeat and they love it.

The fact that he's a gigantic moron who frequently says obviously incorrect things doesn't even factor into it, as far as they're concerned they've been given the go ahead to ignore the facts in favour of their opinions even if they completely contradict something they just said as long as they win the argument and that's all that matters.

The inconvenient fact that Biden won the election is completely counter to that viewpoint, however, which has been providing us with some top tier schadenfreude
