A lot of Australians think that China is “threatening” Australia by trading with us, or trying to “trick” us by trading with us, so we let our guard down or something. It’s just pure Orientalism. And it isn’t just racist shitheads thinking this stuff either, a lot of friend of a friend libs of mine, who would probably consider themselves “progressive” sound like a frothing at the mouth Nazi when it comes to China. I fucking hate it.

They’re also bullying us when they don’t trade with us (lobsters, wine, coal, tourism, students).
Yeah, they should just give us free stuff and let us treat their people who come over here like shit and not complain about it!
It is just full on white coloniser brain, that the
should know their place.
