Stop the Asian Invasion: Chinese Takeover of Australia - Politicians 4 Sale

[Rev.Cambeul]

Australia: It's the South Seas spawn of Great Britain that was cast adrift in favour of Europe - Remember the Newcastle Line of WWII? ... Remember the EU? Then along came the US of A to pull Australia's saggy downunder out from under the shadow of the Yellow Peril, prop up some new industry and in return only ask for a few blood sacrifices here and there over the next fifty years of war.

If you haven't guessed it, Australia is a nation that has the capability to go it alone, but Australia's politicians are always looking for an arse to suck up.

So it's so long to Mother Britain and goodbye to Cousin America. It looks like Australia has a new master now and the Yellow Peril of old has returned with its wads of filthy lucre to buy off your favourite democratically elected scum, who are only too happy to sell you off up the Yangtze River.

Political donations highlight growing concerns over Chinese influence in Australia

Extract: Last month, the ABC reported businesses with Chinese connections gave Australia's major parties more than $5.5 million between 2013 and 2015, making them the largest source of foreign-linked donations.

The donations were troubling enough for the head of Australia's spy agency to personally brief leaders of Australia's major political parties last year about the national security risks.

According to the ABC, the security warning from the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO) director-general Duncan Lewis included naming donors his agency thought were acting on behalf of the Chinese government.

Australia's Chinks are worried about a Red Chinese takeover ...


Chinese communities in Australia resent China's rising influence

Charis Chang | News.com.au (Australia) | 17 September 2016

DEBATE about China's growing influence in Australia has become so heated within Chinese communities, they even have a nickname for those who put out government propaganda: "wu mao".

The phrase translates as "50 cent" and is a reference to speculation that the Chinese government pays 50 cents for each pro-government post in the media.
It's an insult that Erin Chew is familiar with.

As an Asian Australian Alliance convener, Ms Chew told news.com.au that she had been called a "wu mao" for expressing opinions that even hint at anything remotely positive about China.

Ms Chew, who was born in Australia but is of Malaysian Chinese heritage, said attitudes about China's growing influence varied among the Chinese community.

Some were proud of the country's growing power, while others were suspicious about its impact on people's freedom of speech.

The problem can already be seen in Canada, where China is now the country's second largest trading partner after the US.

Chinese-Canadians are questioning whether the partnership is actually making Canada more prosperous, complaining that their ability to speak out against the authoritarian state is being eroded because of China's growing economic power.

"Journalists who write for the many Chinese-language publications in Canada, along with activists and others, say they are under increasing pressure to promote the interests of the Chinese government," a New York Times article reported this month.

Earlier this year, a Chinese-Canadian who was Ontario's provincial minister of citizenship, immigration and international trade, Michael Chan, defended China's human rights practices in a column that was met with outrage. But reporters who criticised Mr Chan were met with death threats, and one even lost their job.

Ms Chew said there was also concern among Chinese communities in Australia about growing Chinese influence but this was not being expressed as openly as it was in Canada, and was often divided along political and historical lines.

"The Hong Kong Chinese in Australia resent China a lot," Ms Chew said.

"You also have the Chinese who left China after Tiananmen (Square massacre) and many still have a huge anger towards China and will get quite angry when you engage in conversations about the growing influence of China."

But she said others, including newer Chinese migrants and those from Malaysia or Singapore, were proud to see the growing influence of China, even though there was also concern it could spark racism in Australia.

'MONEY TALKS'

Ms Chew has seen first-hand how Chinese influence works in Australia.

She has attended various political fundraising events and seen the money that Chinese business people donate.

"I have seen various Chinese organisations, particularly the 'clan' style or older Chinese type groups, and how they are swayed easily due to the donations," she said.

Ms Chew said event and article submissions she had sent to Chinese media outlets had not appeared, even though she was initially told they would be published.

She blames the control that wealthy figures like Huang Xiangmo and NSW Labor upper house member Ernest Wong wield over the Chinese media in Australia.

"Some of these people do not like me, as I do not behave like the typical Chinese and I am an ABC (Australian born Chinese) — they feel that my cultural understanding is low."

Mr Huang has become a controversial figure in Australia who has been photographed with many politicians and has donated more than $1 million to political parties in Australia since 2012, according to Fairfax.

Lately Mr Huang, also known as Huang Changran, has been in the media spotlight for paying a $40,000 legal bill for Labor senator Sam Dastyari, which contributed to the senator's decision to step down from his frontbench role.

Mr Huang also gave $1.8 million to establish the Australia-China Relations Institute at the University of Technology Sydney, led by former foreign minister and NSW premier Bob Carr.

Another $1 million was given to the Children's Medical Research Institute at Westmead and $3.5 million was provided to Western Sydney University for an Australia-China Institute for Arts and Culture.

The mysterious Mr Huang is also associated with a group called the Australian Council for the Promotion of Peaceful Reunification of China, which Ms Chew believes is a mouthpiece for the Chinese government.

Funding groups like these provide an indirect way for the Chinese government to wield influence.

"They do have clout and political influence in Australia," Ms Chew said of the group.

"Money does talk."

A quick tour of the group's website reveals many photos of politicians posing with Mr Huang at various events including "Giving Day" in 2015 when Mr Huang's company Yuhu donated $743,000 to eight Australian organisations including the Westmead's Children Medical Research Institute, Bear Cottage in Manly and Eastwood Public School.

Mr Huang has said his donations don't come with any hidden agenda.

"It has nothing to do with China," he told Fairfax Media. "When the media say I have some (ulterior) motives, I don't know whether to laugh or cry ... I feel it is unfair, not objective."

When it comes to his political donations, Mr Huang insists that he gives to both major parties because, "I feel sometimes their politics are in line with us Chinese-Australian businesses, in line with our standards and ideas. We just support their political views, without raising ours".

'IT MAKES US LOOK BAD'

Ms Chew said the wielding of political power by China worried her as it made Chinese in Australia look bad.

"The mainstream will brush all of us the same," she said. "In this air of xenophobia, which currently shadows Australia, well, it doesn't help the situation."

Despite her concerns she did not think foreign donations should be scrapped, although they should be more regulated and transparency was needed.

She thought donations that covered legal and travel costs, like those that Mr Dastyari accepted, should also be banned.

"Donations need to be restricted to a limit and its purpose needs to narrow," she said.

She also suggested changes to donations to university and other institutes to avoid one interest group having full control. This could include limiting donations to 60 per cent of the institute's funding, with the rest to come from university or government contributions.

"This will reduce the bias nature of institutes."

As for foreign ownership of land or other investments, she did not necessarily think this should be restricted, unless the measures also applied to other countries.

One important change Ms Chew wanted to see was Chinese media in Australia being held to the same standard as other mainstream media in Australia.

"No one regulates or looks into this at the moment and unless it is looked into, the agendas are bias."

News.com.au attempted to contact Ernest Wong for comment, and Huang Xiangmo was unavailable.

Red Chinky Nationalism Now Taught in Australian Schools

Chinese dissidents are the ones being targeted here, but it's only a matter of time before Australian kids are forced to adopt either a subservient position or embrace the Yellow Peril.

Oh, referring to Chinks as Yellow is racist is it? Let us sing together a wonderful multicultural song from Red China:

The night's programme featured schoolchildren waving Chinese flags as they chorused "this is your birthday, my Motherland". Another patriotic song belted out the line "the black-eyed, black-haired, and yellow-skinned are forever the descendants of the dragon".

And in a video package aired that evening, an interview with a young ANU student was shown as a shining example for all those watching. Having immigrated at age five and holding Australian citizenship, she was asked whether she considered herself more Chinese or Australian.

"More Chinese," came her quick reply.

BUSINESS and community leaders say calls by Labor Opposition Leader Bill Shorten for a crackdown on 457 visas are a threat to the needs of the Northern Territory.

Mr Shorten claimed 457 visa workers were taking Australian jobs and he accused Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull of being out-of-touch.

Chamber of Commerce CEO Greg Bicknell and Philippines Honorary Consul John Rivas said in this instance Mr Shorten was out-of-touch with regional Australia.

"If we didn't have skilled labour coming in from overseas on 457 visas the Northern Territory's population would be in serious decline," Mr Bicknell said.





Greg Bicknell
"Some Territory businesses would simply not be able to operate effectively if they couldn't get overseas workers.

"It's already rigorous enough for overseas workers to get a 457 visa and making it tougher would be a step in the wrong direction. It is well known that many Territory businesses depend on 457 visas because they can't get local or interstate workers."

Chief Minister Michael Gunner said employing foreign workers on 457 visas should only occur when local options have been exhausted.

"My priority is creating jobs for Territorians," he said. "The Territory currently has a Designated Area Migration Agreement with the Federal government, which allows Territory business to employ migrant workers on 457 Visas, but not at the expense of local training and employment."

Mr Rivas echoed Mr Bicknell's sentiments.

"Mr Shorten's comments may be based on ignorance of the Territory's circumstances but making it tougher for overseas workers to get a 457 visa would cause considerable harm to the Territory business community," he said. "It would harm the hospitality, tourism and farming sectors instantly. Overseas workers fill an important gap in our workforce."

ONE of the world's biggest companies is planning to build a major gas-fired power station in the state's north, which has the potential to ease South Australia's electricity supply crisis.

The Advertiser has been told Powerchina wants a 250-megawatt generator, costing about $350 million, to be operating in South Australia by mid-2018.

If it proceeds, the Powerchina station would have baseload power generation capacity equivalent to Pelican Point's gas-fired station and about half that of Port Augusta's Northern Power Station, which closed last May.

This would bolster baseload supply, making the state less reliant on intermittent renewable generation and would likely reduce the chances of another statewide blackout.
