Interesting to watch as China attempts to frame and pitch itself as the victim in all of this. Like, how dare we try and thwart their attempts to undermine Australia and get us to bend to their will.
Mind you they’ve been encouraged in all of this by the veritable conga line of suck hole present and former politicians from Bob Carr (Labor) to Andrew Robb (Liberal) in selling and/or leasing anything that’s not nailed down. And of course we’ve become economically beholden in terms of imports (cheap stuff) and exports (iron ore etc).
In short China to a large extent is funding our lifestyle. They’re are our dealer, our pimp as it were as it were.
Dastyari is a minnow. A child by comparison to some of the other dark forces, sinister hands and shadowy players. His problem is that he didn’t know how to play the game of being a double agent. He was a child playing a grownups game.
