The problem for ScoMo is how to save his face if he backs down. He wants to save the economy, but is stuck in a corner.

IMO, ScoMo is kinda confused guy. Trying to portrait himself for what he really is not. Punishing the good guy who actually telling the truth, defending those who actually committed crime (OZ soldiers who uncovered the war crime). Even further, making law to defend act of war crime?
Wasting tax payer money to harbor propagandists to create fake news?
Destroying decades trade relationships where there was actually no problems at all before he is a PM. And that's not all yet.
And he is taking about Australia value? Doh! Beg the question is he really fit for the job?
Hi Litebreeze,
You know what, I like the assertive China narrative, It forces them to think and reflect. The arrogance had been replace by anger, then fear and now a realization...hahaha
. 2020 will be marked as the year China learned to reassert itself.I can't help but thinking, is this the end of 'hide your power, bide your time'?Hi Litebreeze,

To the new beginning? Wonder what will Deng say if he were around?

Remember when Xi ascend the leadership everybody in the west assume that since he travel and live in the US, he will be amendable to western values and opinion. 2014 when Russia annex Crimea they expect China to join the west in condemnation. They're all disappointed, cause they underestimate President Xi and it's resolved. The Chinese dream is a manifestation of China intent, so why are the west so surprise by China being assertive. Do we not have the right to express our opinion and be heard or they had been accustom of us been silent and apolitical.
Xi had his baptism of fire, had come out victorious and confident. Aside from Putin of Russia , China had an effective leader to content with. While the west dither, it highlighted the ineffectiveness of it's system. That alone and China is so big not to notice signal the end of 'hide your power, bide your time'

Its kinda hard to hide your power when you're building multiple carrier fleets, carrier fleets are the purest form of power projectection.

Anyone remember what followed soon after Deng uttered 'hide your strength, bide your time'?
Another week, another Australian industry blocked from the Chinese market; keep in mind that China's coal market pays a premium compared to elsewhere, so locking australia out of China means they can't make as big if any profit, compared to Russia and mongolia who will benefit.
Yea, it's already putting several free azz on fire.
So the projection is working i would say
