    Their attempts to destabilise our country included very reasonable trade deals, essentially funding our university system via very high fees for Chinese students, offering to modernise our internet/cell infrastructure, and an infrastructure deal on nuclear power.

    Then the US engineered Brexit, cooked up the Xinjiang “genocide” bullshit, and whipped us into line.

    We reneged on various deals, cancelled internet/cell and nuclear infrastructure, started treating Chinese postgrads like spies, screamed ‘genocide’ without evidence, cooked up elaborate conspiracy theories about foreign police stations, blamed China for COVID while we killed hundreds of thousands of our own citizens and robbed the public purse for hundreds of billions in corrupt contracts, all while working with the Americans to actually destabilise China and sanction their politicians.
