    It's impossible to find a political leader in Australia (or anywhere else, for that matter) with whom one can agree on everything. But I must say, thus far, ScoMo seems to be miles ahead of the clowns we've had to endure since Kevin 07. Time will tell how he proceeds.
    In the name of the blood and the sun, the dagger and the gun, Christ protect this soldier, a lion and a Macedonian.

          "Beijing has made it absolutely clear to Washington that they would have zero hesitancy to go to war over Taiwan.

          China would be ruthless compared to Russia's operations in Ukraine."

            US, China on Collision Course Over Taiwan

            US policies on Taiwan risk pushing China to the brink — raising the prospect of an armed conflict that nobody claims to want.


            In response to increasingly aggressive statements coming from the US government regarding Taiwan, China’s senior diplomat, Yang Jiechi, on May 18 contacted Biden’s National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan to issue a direct warning. “The US,” Yang said, “has been adopting wrongful narratives and actions that interfere with China’s domestic politics and are harmful to China’s interests.” Yang further noted that, “The recent actions taken by the US on Taiwan-related matters have been a huge contrast from their pronouncements. If the US continues to play the Taiwan card and head further on the wrong path, this will certainly lead to dangerous situations.”

              China is preparing a non-war operation for Taiwan - Shukan Gendai. Beijing wants to avoid mistakes of Russians: no any long-lasting war in Taiwan as Russians in Ukraine, but a quick liquidation of Taiwanese authorities and suppression of any resistance for independence.

                China is in no position to be launching any sort of operation against anyone. They are hemorrhaging from multiple wounds, the worst one being the lack of food in the country. Their growers have walked away from the farms as they are sick of being burnt by the CCP and they are in a metric shit ton of debt they are no longer able to service, let alone pay back. As a result, they enacted the latest round of spicy cough lockdowns to reduce the demand on the system by having millions locked up and eating what's in their fridges and pantries.

                The CCP is too busy backstopping the failing property developers as they are ALL insolvent. Evergrande was just the first domino that fell, many more have since gone tits up leaving nothing for the creditors. The CCP put a halt on the flow of capital out of the country a couple of years ago knowing full well that their empire was built on quicksand.

                Let's not forget the disastrous one child policy they had running for 35 years. That clusterfuck is already "reaping" rewards yet the full extent of the problem is yet to rear its head. Thirty five years of discarding first born girls is the gift that keeps on giving, their population will be in terminal decline before long as a country full of three inch pee pees won't bode well for them.

                  Train carrying PLA military equipment passed through the high-speed railway in Hangzhou (Zhejiang Province)-the area of responsibility of the PLA Eastern Command

                  Either to the exercises again,or to the south closer to Fujian Province,which is in the Taiwanese direction.

                        "If Pelosi really visits Taiwan as planned, the Tsai Ing-wen authorities are accomplice. The mainland will definitely carry out severe punishment actions on Taiwan at the same time. The unbearable consequences will fall on Tsai authorities."

                            Pelosi will visit Taiwan tomorrow night.

                            Taiwanese government officials confirm they have received "notice" that Pelosi will definitely arrive in Taipei tomorrow evening - Taiwan state media
