Well, SCOMO openly criticizes Chinese government; they post meme. The fact is, our elite soldiers executed civilians, some very young boys, some old men, in Afghanistan. Some 20 soldiers got caught, but hundreds knew about what was going on.
China has many problems with us, fair or not, they should not been ignored, they should have been sorted by diplomacy. But Morrison has illusion of our supremacy, or maybe his supremacy.

You still don't seem to get it...........The problems with China are not just an Australian / SCOMO thing. China is alienating countries around the world at the moment, including active military skirmishes with India over border disputes, trade wars with the U.S, trade sanctions against Canada, break downs in communication with the U.K and posturing over the disputed territories in the South China sea etc.
The concern with this particular tweet is it is something we would expect to see from a deranged South African dictator or terrorist group, not something that falls within the bounds of measured international diplomacy from one of the largest countries on the planet. The Chinese leadership has lost the plot and that's a very scary thing for all countries. It is creating global instability that could easily lead to international warfare on a scale never seen before. .
Australia is not the only country that China is playing hard ball with. This link details Chinese tariffs and bans on Canadian products. Is that SCOMO's fault too ?

Good post. Quite a reasonable assessment there kazumi. Very reasonable. I agree! I think we have to go back to the Howard era (i feel nauseated already) and remember how Howard tried to make Australia in America's image. Little America!
People haven't forgotten what Bush, Blair & Howard did. No way do I blame anyone else in Australia apart from the people in the government that willingly went along with it. Right or wrong, some countries feel they have a right to throw dirt at us, and the sins of HoWARd gives them that excuse. It has been said, Both he and Blair behaved like George Bush’s poodles.
I'm no fan of China but I can say that Kevin Rudd's approach to the relationship between Australia and China was positive. It was definitely less ego-driven and less subservient to the US profit interests than anything the Liberal party could attempt in the past or ever will.
There's a whole lot more to this than the current situation suggests, obviously! Now I don't agree with everything Pilger says but his documentary here makes a lot of sense and should serve as a warning.

“The Coming War On China” – Watch John Pilger’s Powerfully Relevant Documentary
"The aim of this film is to break a silence: the United States and China may well be on the road to war, and nuclear war is no longer unthinkable," Pilger says in his 2016 documentary The Coming War on China, which you can watch free on Youtube here or on Vimeo here.
"In a few years China has become the world's second-biggest economic power," Pilger's introduction continues. "The United States is the world's biggest military power, with bases and missiles and ships covering every continent and every ocean. China is a threat to this dominance, says Washington. But who is the threat? This film is about shifting power, and great danger."
As we've been discussing for years now, the relentless quest of the US-centralized empire-like power alliance for total world domination has put it on a collision course with the surging economic powerhouse of China which refuses to be absorbed into the imperial blob. The empire's continued existence depends upon its ability to undermine China before it grows too powerful or the empire grows too weak to stop its ascent, at which point global hegemony becomes impossible and we are living in a truly multipolar world.
