Anti-China Tensions on the Rise in Australia
Australia’s Mandarin-speaking Prime Minister Kevin Rudd is having to fend off criticism that he’s too soft on China as anti-China sentiment grows at home. From Reuters:
With Rudd urging a greater IMF role for China at a meeting this week of major economies in London, Australia’s conservative Opposition Leader Malcolm Turnbull accused Rudd of having become a “roving ambassador for the People’s Republic of China”.
Even a shock decision last Friday to refuse a bid by Chinese state-owned Minmetals to buy Australian miner OZ Minerals (OZL.AX) on national security grounds appears to have backfired, with media accusing the government of belated chest-beating. [ID:nSYD387689]
“The government has thrown up a series of arbitrary investment barriers apparently to look like it is ’standing up to China’”, the Sydney Morning Herald newspaper said on Monday.
“It has sent a message to the Australian public that Chinese money is inherently dangerous. The result is red peril hysteria.”

Its so funny when some of the Australian ministers say that it is “yellow peril” and racism when people are concerned about China’s growing influence over Australia. (Did they get that line from CCP?)
It’s similar when US scholars get accused for being anti-semitic because they write about the Israel Lobby.
Its good that australians are waking up now and know the dark side of communist party of china. kevin Rudd is just a political leader who may resign after few years but the people has to deal with all those craps. red money is surely going to harm the Australian people. stand up folks
This is another example of how some Australians used excuses to block investment from Asia and used the excuse of communism to bring fear to the general public to achieve its bad intention. China is always pity. China always suffer from rob and insult from outsiders from 1800-21th century.
