'Blatant irrational behaviour': China slams Australia over foreign interference investigation

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.

    Not just a right-wing government, but a government that is trapped between it's white nationalist voter base and it's dying coal export industry.

    The Australians are dealing with many of the same ecological and economic pressures present in the US right now. And their reaction is much the same. Blood and Soil Nationalism is becoming a proxy for The American/Australian Dream of middle class first world decadency.
