Sameer Basha accuses Australia of "Adventurism" and gives four examples, all of which I think were justified. My
comment at the SCMP site:
Australia:
(1) "…bans Huawei from 5G". Correct. It's a Security issue. China would not allow the equivalent in its country.
(2) "Presssures China on Covid origins". Correct. Pressure is being kept up by WHO and internationally. [Added: this is an important issue and China should be shamed for not being more open]
(3) has "Torn up Victorian government MOU...". Correct. Because State governments don't have jurisdiction over foreign policy, same as in China.
(4) has "Blocked Chinese takeover bids...". Correct when national security at stake, again same as in China.
Overall Basha's "analysis" is pro-Beijing propaganda, and ad hominem.
