In response to Every day is a bad day to visit China, apparently

How about an anti-China envoy?

if we were to replace China with Israel in all these conversations it would surely be antisemitic and we would need an envoy. I’m surprised that all this anti-China talk isn’t treason, considering that China is our largest trading partner and in most circumstances everything is framed from an economic point of view.

From an Australian perspective, it has taken at least a year and many dollars to get the courts to consider what is antisemitic (not the same as racism) and what reporters can and can’t report under freedom of the press about Israel and the IDF .

The reporters are fortunate to be reporting from Australia as the life span of media in Palestine appears to be disproportionately short.

What would it take or cost to get the press and the opposition (apparently supporting businesses and farmers) to stop this barrage of misinformation about China and all things Chinese?

How would the appointment of a Sinophobia envoy be reported?

I suspect in the history of Australia, Sinophobia would rate alongside antisemitism and all the other undesirable isms.
