[LINK] Telstra and China Mobile

[Kate Lance]

If China has a water problem then Australia isn't much different. And the
top-end and west of the continent mostly belongs to, and is highly valued by,
the original inhabitants.

The Aussie 'fair go' etc is self-serving crap, c.f. the original inhabitants
and the many Asian-descent people in the north-west from colonial days.

There is a lot of the world the Chinese - if they wanted - could 'just take'.
They have actually spent most of their history deliberately avoiding major
excursions of that kind, very much unlike our masters, the Brits and Americans.

Regards, Kate
