I studied in Sydney, Australia for 7 years from 1990. Below is received from a old Aussie friend by WhatsApp. I did some FCs, and seems this was written in May 2020. Not sure if he has any new/updated views.
*OPINION*
*Australian ABC Radio Peter Goers:
With China, many Aussies are absolute hypocrites.*
‘Revolution is just a T-shirt away,” sings Billy Bragg.
*The T-shirts are made in China like everything else. We wear and consume the proof of the success of the Chinese Revolution and they drink our wine, use our iron ore, eat our tucker and enrich our entire tourism and education sectors.*
It is almost impossible for almost anyone in the world to go a single day without buying or using something from China.
*China is the engine of the world and now rules the world economically. * We once ludicrously feared Reds under the beds. Now they’ve made the beds we lie in. One in five people in the world is Chinese.
*The People’s Republic of China (as even ardent conservatives attest) achieved the greatest social, political and economic miracle in world history by raising 1.5 billion people out of feudal poverty into a middle class in 50 years*
China has wisely followed the American and British examples of economic colonisation of the world but avoided the appalling errors of fighting useless and expensive wars. *China has not caused a war for hundreds of years.*
The economy of the world is predicated on China. *We ignore China’s communism when we make money from it, but because of the COVID-19 virus we are suddenly sabre-rattling and loathing China’s political system. Hypocrisy rules.*
Britain lied about COVID-19 mortality rates, and Trump’s US continues to exacerbate the virus. Has Australia demanded an inquiry into those countries? No. Japan has been building islands for decades with no international criticism. China builds islands and we send gunboats.
Australia rails against China’s human rights violations yet we continue to imprison refugees in concentration camps and continue to treat Aboriginal people appallingly. Australia is the nation which persecuted and demeaned the Chinese and others through the iniquitous White Australia policy.
Australia continues to treat the Chinese with racism and suspicion through an apparent genetic disposition to distrust them. We despair of Chinese surveillance of its citizens yet increase surveillance on our own. We despair of the Chinese persecution of minority races yet we are eternally trying to weaken our own Racial Discrimination Act.
Our Government is trying to suppress the press. We welcomed the English lords Vestey and McAlpine owning half of northern Australia, we allow American surveillance and military bases and yet we resent any Chinese investment in Australia.
China is a developing nation and is far from perfect – but we have much to learn from it. The cold war against China is damaging and dangerous. The British tried twice to poison and weaken the Chinese through opium addiction, invaded China and stole Hong Kong. There are Australians and Americans who’d gladly try to repeat that.
Sadly, Sinophobia is back officially and publicly as Australians are spitting on Chinese-Australians. Shame.
We are encouraged to criticise China but we rail against Chinese criticism of us. Isn’t Professor Kam Louie, of Hong Kong University, right when he says Australian leadership is “male, pale and stale”, and aren’t the Chinese right when they say Australia is America’s dog?
The Chinese came to Australia before the British, traded peacefully with Aboriginal people and had the good manners not to invade, claim the country and dispossess and massacre them.
The US and Britain are dying. China is flourishing. Napoleon was right when he said 200 years ago: “China is a sleeping giant. When she wakes, she will move the world.”
Australia must move with and not against China with respect and showing good example. Then we grow together in the great leap forward. Put that on a T-shirt made in China.
*Peter Goers can be heard weeknights and Sundays on ABC Radio Adelaide”*

還記得搬來倫敦的念頭剛萌芽時,在我腦海裡的「倫敦優劣表」中,最讓我在意的是「惡劣的天氣」那一條。
.
霧都欸...雨都欸...灰嘟嘟欸...我會不會得憂鬱症啊?
.
結果朋友的一句話讓我豁然開朗:『倫敦的天氣是很爛,但是受不了的時候去個巴黎或巴塞隆那就好啦』
.
!!!
.
於是就這樣,我們快閃了個以前想也沒想過的巴黎甜點週末:
♥Des Gâteaux et du Pain(可頌好吃)
♥Jacques Genin(千層酥和熱巧克力最高)
♥Angelina(太甜了不推)
.
#法國 #巴黎 #甜點 #週末 #巴黎甜點 #吃貨 #巴黎美食 #吃 #熱巧克力 #千層酥 #可頌
在哪裡: @Jacques Genin @ des Gateaux et du Pain
.
.
.
Before I made the decision to relocate, the cons column in my "London pros and cons list" had one thing: "GRIM WEATHER".
.
With "gloomy, foggy, rainy, grey sky, depressing, shxt" being the most common description of London weather, I had serious doubts.
.
Until a friend, who also made the move from Sydney, wisely pointed out "Just get away to Barcelona or Paris if you are too sick of it;)"
.
!!!
.
I never thought I would go to Paris just for the weekend, just because we can, and all we did was eat:
♥Des Gâteaux et du Pain(yummy croissants)
♥Jacques Genin(MUST HAVE: mille feuille and hot chocolate)
♥Angelina(too sweet, overrated)
