That’s the point isn’t … the amount of foreign interference the the US has implemented over decades … yet we don’t seem to care.
Yet when China decides to protect its trading routes on uninhabited land the sky suddenly falls …
Here’s a good video on perspective
Ask Xi, he is the one conducting the largest military building in history despite facing no threats while bullying his neighbours.

Bhutan, India, Vietnam, Philippines, Russia and threatened others. The only reason Xis death count (outside the hundred million or so caused by his decision to lie and arrest the brave Chinese citizens who wanted to warn the world)is not higher is because he picks on weaklings and is constrained by nations like the US, Japan Korea etc
Although unlike bought and paid for Keating who will never say a bad word about Xi, I will certainly agree the US is far from perfect.

Those ships, aircraft and missile batteries on islands in the East Phillipines sea stolen from thr Philippines (according to the international court) along with vast fishing and hydrocarbon wealth look a lot like Winnie the dictators troops.

Scummo was an idiot, there were very valid concerns about Xi's behaviour however he should have been much smarter (diplomatic) and never blamed China or the Chinese, they have no control over Xi and the CCP who currently rule the place

I don't think Keating nor Morrison, or anyone else for that matter, needs to say much about Xi Jinping. After all he's busy destroying the Chinese economy all by himself. So he certainly doesn't need any help or comment from anyone else!
X1 & the CCP seem hell bent on having the Chinese populous fight them in a civil war. How else could you explain the self inflicted mess in China right now?
Unfortunately such a mess might encourage Xi to start a war the hide the mess he's created,

Not really
Which part do you think is wrong?
By the way, I can fully understand your well founded concerns about the US but I am a bit surprised given your very commendable commitment to the rights of minority groups that you don't seem to have a concern with a government that has millions in camps because of their race and only in the last few years still had government organisations banning Africans from shops for being dirty .
China: Covid-19 Discrimination Against Africans
The Chinese government should end the discriminatory treatment of Africans related to the Covid-19 pandemic, Human Rights Watch said today. Authorities should also protect Africans and people of African descent throughout China from discrimination in employment, housing, and other realms.
China: Combat Anti-Black Racism on Social Media
The Chinese government should acknowledge and condemn anti-Black racism prevalent on the Chinese internet and adopt measures to promote tolerance and fight prejudice.
Chinese social media filled with anti-black racist content, says watchdog
Analysis by Human Rights Watch finds the country’s major platforms ‘do not routinely address’ pervasive online racism
Manya Koetse, the editor-in-chief of Whats on Weibo, a website, said that since the BBC Africa Eye documentary, racist videos on Weibo were taken down more promptly. But, she noted, “often what is perceived as racist content against black people in western content is not perceived as racist content against black people in China”.
‘He disappeared for a year’: The survivors of China’s prison camps in Xinjiang – in pictures
Since 2014, millions of Uyghurs, Kazakhs and other minorities have been locked up in China and subjected to torture and forced labour. Some of those freed talk about trying to rebuild their lives in neighbouring Kazakhstan

Well they've dragged 300 million people out of poverty in the last 20 years.
Their military is the same size as any country would have with the same population and economic power.
To think that the US and England can still tell China what to do is ridiculous.
They look after their poor much better than America as well.
They have no real history of invading other countries like western countries do.
How do you think China got so big? It has a long history of expansionism.
If it was a European country you'd hate it. The west isn't the victim of their current expansion their neighbours are.

Expansionism? I think the bad guys are Russia aren't they?
China don't invade other countries, that's what Russia, England, America France , Germany ect have traditionally done.
It's all a storm in a teacup to get politicians elected and for arms manufacturers to make trillions in profits.
Hard to argue with someone who hasn't seen a map of east Asia.

How do you think China got so big if it has not been expansionist?

Any expansion in the last 700 years?
Quite a bit. It is currently trying to coerce one of those territories back into the fold.

Who cares about Taiwan?. Is it worth starting WW3 over? Answer is no. It's just a pawn in the game.
"being paid millions by Xi" ...... where??
He stands up for Australia. He is not an American flunkey nor a China flunkey, nor a British Empire flunkey. He tells it like it is and if it hurts the sensibilities of some who swallow the stuff that is propagated by the right wing media, like Keating would say, stiff shit!
Morrison was duped by Trump: how f****ng stupid must you be to be taken in by Trump?
Morrison the moron attacked China as deliberately causing COVID on Trump's say so and the US took over our markets when China rightly called Australia "gum stuck to China's shoe" and proved it by not buying our things anymore.
