What have the Chinese ever done to you?
May 20, 2023
So, you want to go to war with the Americans, Aussie? What have the Chinese ever done to you?
Have you forgotten?
They were our willing ally during WW1 and 2 Not our enemy! Bravely supporting Australian prisoners of war on the Burma Railway Keeping many from starvation & death
What have the Chinese ever done to you Aussie? That you hate them so much you want to see them destroyed
Have you forgotten?
Like us Aussies, they too, fought the Japanese. But, for more than a decade longer! From 1932 till 47, all alone, battling that rapacious foe Keeping millions of Japanese soldiers locked away from the Pacific front Protecting many U.S. and Aussie soldiers from a certain death.
What have the Chinese ever done to you Aussie? That you want to see them destroyed in yet another US war of aggression?
Have you forgotten?
For decades now, Chinese economic growth has made Australia’s economy strong. Its put food on our table, money in our wallets That’s what the Chinese have done for you, Aussie!
It’s well past time, we buried that old fear bogey, the ‘Yellow Peril’. An ancient racist devil based on assumed white superiority Its time to consign this demonic wraith to the dustbin of history
A war on China will certainly be our ruination, Aussie Maybe, even, an extinction event for us all Now wouldnt that be a waste?
If humanity is to survive Time now, to evolve away from war Towards human understanding and forgiveness Mutual prosperity and peace.
