Comparing the Chinese fight against corruption to the West’s
Government corruption is, or should be, a scourge in any government. We’re faced with it on a daily basis, we know it exists and we know something needs to be done.

Biden Pardons his son: The US “rules based order” in action
When I’m asked what I think of Biden granting a pardon to his son for offences, which Biden himself has spoken openly about as deserving of prison, I don’t have much to say.

Democracy; what democracy?
As we approach the end of election season in the USA and are faced with a very uncertain future, it’s worth commenting that democracy is dead. At least democracy as we understand it: the idea of having a vote which means having a say in how your country is run. Continue reading »

Mainstream media turns blind eye as UN visits Xinjiang, criticises US
Human Rights are big news again. There are murders in Gaza, there are restrictions in Ukraine, there are allegations of abuses in Iran and any other place that the US sees as an adversary but, one thing that isn’t big news is that the United Nations has recently visited Xinjiang. So far, 100% of our Continue reading »

Janet Yellen came, she pontificated and postulated, ate some nice Chinese food, drank a beer with Nicholas Burns, a man that Chinese people loathe and hold little respect for; then she left.

Worrying development as Australia absent from Boao Forum, eschews regional engagement
Just a week ago, Wang Yi was in Australia and it appeared to be something of a reset. Australian media were happy(ish), barley is back, wine sales looked set to be back (and was formally confirmed that the tariffs would be dropped only a few days later).

How terrorism is handled in different places
Terrorism is a global problem, we could talk all day and night about whether a terrorist is a freedom fighter, an oppressed person struggling for recognition or a cold-blooded murderer but whatever the reasons, everyone must agree; innocent people deserve protection from terrorists.

“Singing from the Songsheet”: Media uncritically parrots ASPI’s anti-China propaganda
The Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI) have once again proven they should be re-named the American Strategic Policy Institute.
