It’s been the future for a while. What surprises me is that it doesn’t prompt a stronger reply, although my guess is that most countries are up to it and they’ll be huge misinformation operations going on in an effort to mislead attackers and make them think they’ve found what they’re looking for or that they’ve found something to use as political leverage when it doesn’t exist.

You can't touch the chinese warfare wise. They are the world's biggest force.

All you can do is not buy their stuff.

I imagine that any war between NZ and Aus would involve a lot of swearing and stopping for beers at lunchtime.

Mind you, I wouldn’t want to face up to an army of Bogans.

Always wondered how easy it would be just to unplug the internet cables that connect the west to China?
Likely also involve the west having to unplug a number of China's friendlies also but any way.

The Chinese are pissed off with Australia at the moment because Aus called for an inquiry into CV19.

The reason nobody in Government says it is definitely them is because China owns the Australian economy: farming is reliant on exporting to China, huge number of Chinese students at the Universities, huge number of Chinese tourists, all the iron ore goes to China.

So far the Chinese have put an 85% tariff on Australian barley (and stopped exports dead as a result), stopped imports from 3 meat works (beef is a huge business) due to some random compliance issue, and issued warnings to students and travellers that racism towards Chinese in Australia is on the rise and they shouldn’t travel.

All designed to remind Australia who the boss is, hence ScoMo won’t say who is behind the attacks in case it stirs things up and causes more problems.

Interestingly, one of the meatworks (or maybe it was two) are actually Chinese owned.

It's hardly the response you'd expect from an innocent country !

Maybe more (all ?) countries should launch an enquiry ... scratchchin

Im behind you on Pavlova but why on earth do you want Russell Crowe back?

If we want a new world order that isn't Chinese we need to stop them buying up all of our industries.

The wacko evangelical skyfairy enthusiast is hocked to Murdoch who in turn likes making money in China, even if the Aus economy wasn't in danger he still wouldn't identify the perpetrators.
