      Things are strange right now. The US dollar is becoming less valuable because of inflation, and other powerful nations waking up to trade in their own currencies. Good thing is, a lot of people still turn to the Dollar because of the safety is somehow assures. I'm worried about my retirement savings of about $420,000 losing value because of these factors and more. Where else can we keep our money?

It's something friends of Australia know only too well.

      ​@@je6897 Biggest lie said yet; the U.S. was not reliant on China for most of its existence, pre and post-industrialization. The U.S. wasn't reliant on China during the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, 1980s and most of the 1990s.
      In fact, this whole insane saga of the world becoming reliant on Chinese manufacturing only began after Bill Clinton amended NAFTA to include China as a tariff-free partner, at which point, China started violating their side of the agreement almost immediately and placed heavy tariffs on most U.S. exports. (everything but food and fuel).
      The bitter irony of those who whine about Trump's "Trade war" don't realize that China had been waging a one-sided trade war with the U.S. for over a quarter century, and our corporate establishment and their minions in our government have been trying to wring the country dry before shipping everything out to China, simply because it gives them totalitarian power and unbreakable monopolism over the bulk of the world's economy. (has nothing to do with Jews, or The Great Reset, or the Kalegergi Plan or Agenda 22 or whatever...it's just good old fashioned human greed run rampant)
      Thus, the real reason Trump was ousted from power had nothing to do with his alleged ties to Russia, racism, fascism or any of the other boogeyman bullshit our crooked corporate media monoliths alleged for 5 years straight; it was because he was the first and ONLY POTUS since Clinton to actually uphold the terms of NAFTA with China, matching their tariffs and by doing so immediately reversed a decades-old trend of monumental loss.
      Prior to China poisoning the world with COVID, the economic growth we had under Trump from 2017 through 2019 is (even adjusted for inflation) rivaled only by the Eisenhower boom in the 1950s. And all we had to do to achieve it was stop hobbling ourselves with shitty Keynesian economic policies and starting meaningless, costly wars to fuel the military-industrial-complex.

      With capital a l investment there would seem to be no particular reason why Australia could not produce substantial amounts of aluminium and steel.for value added export.

      Sadly, this video is using old history and compare it to the current event to brainwash their viewers as always.

      What the Australian government and Morrison have to do is to tell the world whether Australian special forces have killed civilians in Afghanistan. Did they kill children in Afghanistan?
      Interestingly, Morrison and the Australian government have avoided this fact. If they don't, why are they so nervous?

      And this.
      When China was taking drastic measures containing the outbreak, when Chinese medical workers are risking their lives working on the front line, when death toll in China kept rising to thousands, when Chinese people lock themselves up in houses, the US was busy playing dirty politics. They are spinning the COVID-19 as the China virus when no scientific proof indicates it originate from China.
      They are capitalizing on the sufferings of Chinese people, insinuating whichever way they can that Chinese are dirty, tasting the sweet reminiscence of the ‘yellow peril’ and sick man of Asia they once stigmatized on a whole nation. They are getting off on feeling superior.
      And the CDC head of the US also pulled a publicity stunt asking to help China by visiting there to which China refused. US CDC can’t do nothing in China but politicize it.
      Over 70 countries around of the world including Vatican, Iraq, Korea, Japan, Germany and many more extended a helping hand to China to fight this epidemic. The US government did nothing other than smearing and smirking.
      As soon as China quarantined Wuhan, the US urged WHO to declare China as the public health emergency of international concern to block off China from the international trade. They are still finding ways to take advantage of the epidemic situation in China for trade wars.
      The US politicians till this very day are playing the blame game. Democrats blame Trump. Republicans blame China. That’s what democracy do best right? Blame blame blame. That’s all they know when the s**t hits the fan.
      When China was undergoing measures to take control, the media platforms in China are considered public resources reserved for update of the progress. Celebrities in China who accidentally got on the hot searches of Weibo for trivial matters would apologize for taking the valuable space of the platform as the battle ground for epidemic communications.
      On the other hand, look what US politicians are doing using their large followers as weapons to project their bias and racism on China and their political differences on their opponents, occupying the media platforms with bullocks when American people are at imminent public health risks. And trust me, they are not ashamed.
      In times like this, the valuable resources of public media platforms in China are reserved for scientists and medical experts with priority. Why? Because they are the ones calling the shots, making suggestions, predicting the outcomes.
      But the US politicians and journalists believe their opinions are more important. They have to push their own political agenda, score their own political points. They have to find someone to blame. They have to voice their uneducated opinions on Epidemiology.
      And when WHO praised China for its efforts in containing the outbreak and named the coronavirus COVID-19, they believed that WHO are bought off by China and went out of their way to protest the name not bing Wuhan Virus. It’s just not fair! There is Spanish flu, Ebola, West Nile virus. It’s so unfair that we can’t call it Wuhan virus!
      I have many friends in the US. And I genuinely fear for their safety not just from the epidemic, but also the hatred instigated towards ethnic Chinese and East Asians along the way.
      Tell me why China would want to donate masks and medical supplies to a country with so many politicians and journalists who hate China to their gut and were so irresponsible to their public and eventually the world?
      To be honest, Iraq as a country has showed more humanity and international responsibility in fighting this epidemic than the US has. What an irony.

      Australia survived the Financial Crisis 2008. It attributed it to Labour's "good economic management". They did realize that the 30 years economic growth lined up perfectly with China's growth, where China bought whatever Australian produced. The 2 economies was a nice match. If the Aussie does not appreciate, so be it.

    As a Chinese, I don't even know why the government makes so many irrational and provocative decisions. Why do we act like an outsider in this world? We just know the consequence of these things. We know sparrows are a protected species now in China, but we do not know why. Because the information about these things is limited and locked by the government. Only by watching this video, I had the chance to know the reason. The same goes for the coals and factories, if I have never seen this video, all I know is that more and more factories have had no electricity recently. Also, I have no chance to know more details about the relation between these ships and electricity in China. If we want to prove that we are not the origin of the epidemic, we just need to accept those suspects and investigations. We cannot just stop trading with another country just because of one sentence. I hope the people watching these videos don't hate ordinary Chinese, policies are not made by us, but they deeply affected us.😭😭😭We just want to fit in this world.

    China's biggest weakness isn't just energy consumption and irrational hasty economic decisions. Those hasty decisions come from China being incredibly thin-skinned. That is China's real weakness. A bit of humility and patience with other nations would really help, but China seems to have a humility deficit right now. China seems to have no regional allies other than North Korea. It has border disputes with all of its neighbors (except NK), and would do better for itself not to behave like it has been behaving.

      You don't have the facts. China has 14 neighbours that it shares land borders with and there are territorial land border disputes with only 3 of them. Namely, India, Bhutan and Nepal.
      Since War World 2, China has had territorial land disputes with most of its land borders. Through patience and humility, China managed to resolved most of them leaving just 3 disputes and with the dispute with Bhutan drawing to a close. In all of the resolved disputes, China ceded more land than the counterparty in order to reach amicable solutions.

    There were several other precursor events that drove this at the Australian end. China failed to pay for several ship loads of grain back in the early 2000's. The pro china Australian PM Kevin Rudd failed to pursue the debt and 'wrote it off'. The farmers took the loss. Australian companies started looking for other markets. Australia's trade with China was brokered though several Hong Kong corporations and law firms. When China annexed Hong Kong it voided all those contracts. Many of those Hong Kong companies, with Australian support, evacuated to Australia taking all their staff, family, pets, the neighbors, etc. China was very angry at Australia for that loss of capital and expertise. China also tried to infiltrate the two major political parties in Australia's parliament at the administration level. This failed with the Chinese Agents being caught. All this was known but obscure when Covid blew up in November 2019. China also used the Covid crisis to declare void several long term coal and iron ore trade contracts but Australian companies were already looking for a way out of those contracts and were looking at other trade partners; India, Malaysia, Vietnam, the Saudis and Tanzania. Scott Morrison's quite mild words were the last straw in China and signaled to Aussy industry that we had found those new partners.

      While I don't think China has forgotten the slights of the past, K Rudd was in office 2008~2013 with a very strong pivot to China economically, I would say most of the 'justification' is since then, which has almost been a shadow economic war. Things that come to mind since Rudd left office (noting the child-like nature of the CCP means they cannot tolerate the smallest slight, which only gets worse as pushed further by characters such as Trump);
      - China drying up foreign investment (a lot of which was flowing into Aus + NZ)
      - The crashing of Iron ore prices
      - Australian comments on HK protests
      - Australian comments on Uyghurs and general humanitarian issues in China
      - Australian questions about Chinese investment into places like Fiji
      - China sending warnings not to blame them for covid
      - Australia encouraging investigation into Covid (as you say; wish NZ grew a spine)
      - Huawei ban
      There's a general sentiment that China is the enemy probably mostly due our closeness to US as far as military goes (not that China does anything to help), which is stoked by the current (Hawkish Liberal Party government) including comments today by the questionably racist Foreign Minister (Peter Dutton) are the Chinese destroyer off our coast. This is regularly stoked with comments around Chinese Investments into the belt and road debt trap, port of Darwin, Rural Cattle Farms, and Chinese housing buyers that I have no doubt that almost all Australians will have had at least one conversation about (for a people that claims to be apolitical).
