Former detainee Cheng Lei has warned the Albanese government
to look deeper than China's public façade as she describes
distressing surveillance that happens daily in Australia.
Ms Cheng was imprisoned for more than three years in China,
with the first six months in solitary confinement where she
was forced to sit still for 13 hours per day and write
'self–bashing essays'.
After almost two years free and now based in Melbourne, she
has warned the Albanese government against drinking the
Chinese Communist Party (CCP) 'Kool-Aid'.
'There is China's public face, and it's a great face, and
it's getting better all the time, with a lot of Botox,'
the mother-of-two said.
'But the surface is not how it is at the core and it spends
trillions of dollars – its entire stability maintenance
budget – to keep up that façade.
'We are just conveniently forgetting China is a state that
prioritises the CCP's rule above all else, and individuals
don't matter in that system.
. . .
This one is WORTH reading.
Also concerning because it speaks of the increasingly
Big Brotherish atmosphere in Australia.
Big Bro ALWAYS says massive surveillance and suppression
of 'dangerous dissent' is vital for 'security'. However
the truth is that it ONLY serves the high-up pols. The
REAL "security" everyone is concerned about is down on
the streets and is controlled and solved by ordinary cops
doing ordinary cop stuff.
Even Trump has gotten a bit heavy-handed at times, but
in Oz it's become worse and has been for awhile. Now
the PM keeps sucking Xis' dick ... seems to have
given him some brain disease .......
It is distressing that the concept of a "land of the
free" seems to be SO short-lived. Are we to go back to
kings and warlords, high-caliphs and Fearless Leaders
THIS soon ???
Maybe it's in our genes - but shit, we can put up
a LITTLE better fight than this !

Pretty much any news, information and so forth coming out of China
is highly suspect. The CCP is extremely dangerous at this point and
the only thing they respect is strength and power. This is why it is imperative that we elect a strong POTUS.
