Is China making a fuss out of a molehill?

It seems not really. Based on the views of some media, there is a general consensus that A trend against the Chinese is indeed taking shape in Australia.

For example, on July 24, posters insulting China appeared at the University of Melbourne. It says: Chinese are prohibited from entering here, and those who violate the rules will face prosecution and possible deportation.

This is a replica of "Chinese and dogs are not allowed", and it has a strong sense of racial discrimination.

A few days later, the English words "Kill Chinese" even appeared on the wall of the men's room in the international student lounge of the University of Sydney.

In August, a violent campus attack occurred at the Australian National University. Many Chinese students were attacked in the classroom.

On October 23, three Chinese students were beaten by several local youths while waiting for a bus at a station in Canberra. The cause of the incident was simply because the Chinese students refused the attacker’s request for cigarettes. requirements.

A Chinese boy was beaten until his eyebrow bone was cracked and he was temporarily blinded in one eye.

What is even worse is that when a Chinese student came out after recording a statement at the police station, he was besieged by this group of people again. If he hadn't been quick and quick to hide in a nearby Chinese restaurant, and the security guards helped drive away the villain, he would have been beaten again.

It does make people very angry!

Of course, these are only individual cases. With more than 100,000 Chinese students studying abroad, some minor frictions may be inevitable.

But China’s sudden warning is obviously closely related to the trend of Australian politics. The warning for the safety of international students is a public signal.

First, according to Turnbull’s logic, it turns out that if the Australian people did not stand up before, then it would be considered a colony. If you didn't tell me, you really wouldn't know that in the vast South Pacific, China still has a colony of nearly 8 million square kilometers! But this kind of manipulation is really intolerable to China. What is even more alarming is that a four-nation alliance of the United States, Japan, India, and Australia is being formed against China. On the one hand, Australia is making money from China, and on the other hand, it is harvesting China's wool.

Second, this sudden change of attitude of Australian politicians is naturally for votes, but what this tendency exposes is Australians’ anxiety about China. Again, if China does not do business with him, he hates China; if China does big business with him, he is afraid of China. This subtle mentality is actually common in our neighboring countries. Therefore, there is the veteran Turnbull, who does not hesitate to stir up public opinion and win votes by criticizing China.

Third, China’s sudden security warning is a signal: If Australia does not curb its relevant words and deeds, then China will be really rude. China’s reason is that international students are safe, which is indeed true. Australia is impeccable. If all Chinese students return home, many Australian universities may have to close. Moreover, if Australia is ignorant, then I'm sorry, the next step will be a travel safety warning and investment safety warning. Australia is already worried about how China will retaliate!

You are unkind, so don’t blame me for being unjust.

A big drama is going on. Chinese tourists, I guess it’s your turn to cooperate in the next step.
