Why Did Chinese Newspaper Call Julie Bishop A Complete Fool!

Another baffoon;
Why did a Chinese newspaper call Julie Bishop a 'complete fool'?

www.smh.com.au...

Why should China be any different? We have been calling a lot of our politicians fools for a long time.

Probably because she is..

And why is the fairfax media defending her? stupid question- The Liberals and the printed media scratch each others backs.

Would it be asking too much to get something other than a link and two words?

Honestly, I can feel Julie Bishop giving you her death stare from my house. I'm not going to bother clicking a link with nothing to go on.

I posted this in an attempt to get our international ats posters interested in Australian current/affairs.
Because we seem to be the arse end of the world that no one on ats except for a handful take any notice of.
I am not pushing an agenda one way or the other! Just spreading the message for those too lazy to watch or read the news.
I Think Ill be doing this on regular basis from now on.

Any way the latest on the sage meant to post this yesterday 16/7 ;

I'm not telling you to NOT post about it. It's about the general ATS rules and expectations. For starters, one liners are really frowned upon (in general). So that 2 word post was pretty dodgy. But on top of that when you link to a website about an article as such you would be better of starting by quoting something from it like this;

The editorial page of Monday's Global Times - the Chinese Communist Party's rabidly nationalistic tabloid - would seem to support Hugh White's prediction that Australia will pay a price for obstructing, rather than facilitating, the expansion of Chinese "leadership" in the region.
The paper derided Julie Bishop as a "complete fool" using a term that defies neat translation but could be construed even more harshly.
The personal attack raised eyebrows in the diplomatic corps in Australia and abroad, where Ms Bishop is widely considered to be the most competent Australian foreign affairs minister since Gareth Evans.

You can't quote the entire article, and should be approx 10% or less and contain the source link (you did that bit fine). But most importantly we all wan't to hear what your views on the topic are. What do you think of Julie Bishops standing? Is China in the right to be critical? etc. Put something down in your own words to engage in starting the conversation.

I've no problem with you posting about us down-under, in fact the more Aussie stuff on ATS the better! But I am just wary of a link with nothing to go on, it could have been anything so ATS want's you to make your posts count.


On topic, I worry that the sliding values and debate skills over the last 10 years in Australian politics has left us with a batch of pollies that are sorely lacking in diplomacy. They spend most of the time name calling and trying to get a snappy 3 word slogan on the news. The meat and substance is gone. I think Rudd actually did a fairly good job in the position of minister for foreign affairs. He was in a strong position to work well with China and had the language skills to aid him. It was a fateful decision to have him as PM though. But Julie Bishop, I worry she has a great defensive walls, but behind the walls is a lack of knowledge.

All I know is this country is scarily on a bad path. We seem like a nation of pre-schoolers fighting over who gets to control the iron and coal and dobbing on each other. Frustrating to watch/listen to them day in day out.

I sure if the mods have an issue with my posts they will bring it to my attention. However why you have seen fit to take on that role yourself is my curious question to you?
