Go ahead, buddy up with a country that has unfair labor practices, distorting world markets, and...

They pay us very well..!!
Chinses owned mines, forestry plantations, manifacturers and a whole hoste of other things, are amongst the highest paied jobs in Australia.
Some of the Mine workers bring home nearly $2400 a week.
What China dose within it's own borders is China's business. But the people they contract to run their external operatonsions in Australia are paied well and treated even better..
China dose want a good relationship with Australia and I for one wealcome this, they can do more for us economically than the US eveer could..

What do you think about the South China Sea dispute?
China comes off as an a-hole on that issue, and they aren't superpower yet.
If ww3 ever happens, pray that the side that favors human rights, democracy, freedom, equality wins.
Otherwise, learning chinese while working for 50 cents an hour would suck, inmensely.

In 2011 Kim Jong-il made a visit to Russia in which he reportedly negotiated for even more North Korean workers to be sent to Russia.[12] Up to 70% of the $40 to $100 per month wages earned by the workers are reported to be taken away as "loyalty payments".[13]Text
Food rations, says Mr Park, are near starvation level: three bowls of rice diluted with water, occasionally garnished with chunks of carrot or a few leaves of cabbage grown on farms near the camps. Meat is served three times a year: at Korean New Year, and on the birthdays of Kim Il-sung and Kim Jong-il. 'It was gruel a pig would not eat,' says Mr Park. He laughs uproariously at the suggestion that they might get kimchi, the Korean national dish. 'If we had kimchi it would have been a spa.'
The US State Department estimates that around 100,000 North Koreans are employed in work brigades in Russia, China and Mongolia, generating hundreds of millions of pounds a year for leader Kim Jong-il's regime.
Many North Korean labourers have tried to escape the camps. Over the last two decades thousands have abandoned their work and now live in constant fear of arrest and deportation to North Korea.

If America were to fall, the west still has long reaching arms.

Yep! Blame the Imperialist United States for your countries problems right?? How about blaming those citizens in your own country for allowing you government to allow this to happen? (To the rest of you from Australia, I am not directing this to you, but Germanicus has a history of blaming Americans for allowing our government to get away with doing what they do, so I am taking this opportunity to ask him why he, being an Australian, is blaming Americans for HIS government selling him out!)
Were you not the one the other day that said it was the people of America that allowed our government to do what it is doing throughout the world???? That we as Americans were responsible because we elected them???? Wait a minute! Did we elect your officials into office???
Well instead of blaming America for your problems, let me ask you why you aren't blaming your government in Australia for allowing it to happen????? Your a hypocrit!!!!! Plain and simple! You want to call out Americans for allowing our government to do things, but when YOUR government does things you don't like, why don't I see you blaming yourself or other Australians???????
Oh, never mind, I understand! It is much easier to blame others than to look at yourself in the mirror????
Oh, BTW! Don't send me a U2U threatening me pal! I would much rather meet you face to face!

Blood spilt together???
What blood have Americans or the British spilt for Australia. We have been fighting Americas wars getting absolutely no recognition for it, and the British are a bunch of cowards who abandoned us in WW2. You both deserve each other.

Germanicus started out as sorta just a crazy leftist type but was met with so much opposition that he resorted to doing nothing but trolling, I think.

And what have the Chinese done for you? America is no saint. Britian put your people on a boat and created your country. But China? Do you want to live under a one child policy making toys for $2 a day for the west?
