Walking around my old university in Melbourne, having returned from the US) with some difficulty now because of arthritis in the knees, I saw the latest batch of anti-racist globalist posters by the ever-eager global communists, people doing maybe one course so they have plenty of time to paint banners. Good for them. One of the latest posters protests about the rival of anti-Chinese racism, defined now way beyond immigration but to include even saying that there is too much Chinese influence in Australia. This is interesting because the past narrative has always been that the powerful country was the one who was imperialistic. That however does not cut any ice with the ultra-Left who by definition always define white people as the only possible racists. Hence, ethno-racial conflict between other groups is a product of white racism. The concern right throughout South East Asian about the rise of China is therefore discounted, which simply shows that it is the ultra-Leftist worldview that is no more than an ideological justification for coming Chinese hegemony and imperialism, to use their own cherished concepts:

“Acting Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan blasted China in a speech to national security leaders in Singapore on Saturday. In his first major speech on the international stage, Shanahan denounced China's efforts to steal technology from other nations and militarize man-made outposts in the South China Sea as a "toolkit of coercion." He didn't name China in early parts of his speech to the Shangri-La Dialogue, a national security conference, but made his target clear by referencing Beijing's campaign to put advanced weapons systems on disputed islands in the region. "Perhaps the greatest long-term threat to the vital interests of states across this region comes from actors who seek to undermine, rather than uphold, the rules-based international order," Shanahan said. "If these trends in these behaviors continue, artificial features in the global commons could become tollbooths. Sovereignty could become the purview of the powerful," he added. A senior Chinese military official hit back, accusing the U.S. of "harming regional peace and stability." "He (Shanahan) has been expressing inaccurate views and repeating old tunes about the issues of Taiwan and the South China Sea," Shao Yuanming, a senior official of the People's Liberation Army, told reporters after Shanahan's speech. Shanahan's comments come amid rising tensions between the U.S. and China. The Trump administration has been waging a trade war with Beijing, imposed sanctions on the tech giant Huawei and agreed to sell weapons to Taiwan, a sovereign island that mainland China claims as its own territory.”
