China Fires Back at ‘AUKUS’ Alliance With Violent Rhetoric: Australian Troops Would Be the First to Die
https://www.msn.com via US News Report ^ | 9.16.2021 | Paul D. Shinkman

China on Thursday expressed outrage at a new security pact between Australia, the U.K. and the U.S., blasting what it considers a new Western provocation and singling out Australian troops as the first to die as a result of "Beijing's countermeasures so as to send a warning to others."

"Australia has turned itself into an adversary of China," China's English-language Global Times, considered a mouthpiece for the Chinese Communist Party, proclaimed in an editorial Thursday morning.

"If Australia dares to provoke China more blatantly," it added, "or even find fault militarily, China will certainly punish it with no mercy."

The violent rhetoric came a day after the leaders of the three Western powers announced the new alliance, dubbed "AUKUS." In joint remote remarks Thursday evening, President Joe Biden noted that the awkward AUKUS acronym "sounds strange" but that the effort nonetheless "will update and enhance our shared ability to take on the threats of the 21st century just as we did in the 20th century: together."

Another public temper-tantrum by the ultra thin skinned Chinese Communist Leadership.

I’m all for anglosphere alliances but I still maintain Biden is a threat to stupidly provoke a war— the wrong war, at the wrong time, and in the wrong place.

Australian subjects may wish they had back all those confiscated semi-auto rifles now.

It sounds like China is on the edge of a precipice.

I think they are.
As one Chinese leader, that I read, said, he has to find ways to create 25 million jobs/year in hopes of keeping the peace within the country.

I like how people who act like very young children are always
referred to as brilliant long term strategic thinkers.

But then when you compare them to our U. S. leadership, it
begins to make some sense.

Mark Milley survives because of Joe Biden.

This ‘fabulous success’ is has been accepted by Congress or they would have done something about it.

“The Big Guy” is in danger of jeopardizing his income stream if he angers the chicoms. Hunter will have to find another source of revenue.

Oh yeah agree.

Biden demonstrated he is every bit as thin skinned as the Chinese. His emotional blow ups at voters every time he was asked a tough question last year is proof of that.

So we have two groups of blustering clowns who’s go to move is fake tough guy bluster when ever they are under pressure.

That is not a situation that gives one much hope

I don’t doubt that the CCP would do a Samson maneuver if it looked like they were going down. They aren’t going down alone.

I could see the CCP reveal everything on its way down and how our leaders are participating in subjecting their people to the principles of the Chinese government.
