'Blatant irrational behaviour': China slams Australia over foreign interference investigation
www.google.com
China accuses Australia of "blatantly violating the legitimate rights and interests" of Chinese citizens in Australia, after the Federal Government said it would revoke the visas of two academics and allegedly green-lit ASIO raids on four journalists.

Seriously, our two big-boy best friends have always been China and the US. Now tensions are really coming to a head we're going to side with the failed state of the US? I don't understand anything about foreign policy.

    We denounced the British because they wouldn’t let us be racist enough.

    Source? Sounds interesting.

      I mean it was the same shit with Native Americans, Black Americans, etc.

      The government just wanted the resources, the religious terrorists wanted lebensraum

      It was called The White Australia Policy, pretty bad blight on Australian history. It was like the first thing we went against the British on... don’t have a specific source on it atm but here’s wiki:

      The British government in London was not pleased with legislation that discriminated against certain subjects of its Empire, but decided not to disallow the laws that were passed.

      Unfortunately the early labour movement was quite involved in this :( because of cheap foreign labour, although without capitalism there wouldn’t beside strong material causes of racism to begin with.
