RESPECT SteveHtaz 6 DAYS AGO Maybe little known, but it comes as no great surprise. RESPECT1 John Ralph 6 DAYS AGO Fascinating part of history, and of human nature. China went on to take what it could from the Western World and play by its own rules, something that even today many Australian politicians just do not understand. I have met many Chinese at at levels in many countries. The expression is one can be a friend but one can never be Chinese, which is fine as long as one understands just where they sit in the relationship. I am aware of another SE Asian country where something similar also occurred, and today is one of the most widely read English language newspapers in the region. Interesting in that case the local interface was an "intelligence officer" and who is still referred to a Western and local political expert. Things are not always what they seem. RESPECT1 John from Wagga 6 DAYS AGO David Syme and Co. A GREAT media company. All gone now and swallowed up into the homogenous mass media. Fairfax do their best I suppose with ever dwindling resources. RESPECT Bright Spark 6 DAYS AGO How times have changed. The Chinese English daily Global Times has mastered the English media & the art of Communist propaganda with its anti-West tirades being some of the most obnoxious in the world. RESPECT1 Wolfgang Mitlohner 6 DAYS AGO Funded by the Australian Gov. Typical. A paper which is now used against us but was funded by us. Another example of Government folly. A bit like spending millions on CSIRO research and then selling the the knowledge to Chinese companies - which happens a lot. RESPECT1 Rob 6 DAYS AGO Great article from Ms Needham, who is one of Fairfax's better overseas correspondents. Good to see some primary source research, not just the usual copy and paste from other outlets. Really interesting story. RESPECT rex.changer 6 DAYS AGO Oh dear, they were just using the naive Aussies. "There was a lot of goodwill" - sure sure because they wanted something we had. Once they acquired the computers and technical expertise of running the newspaper then it was see ya later. RESPECT Susan Smithers 6 DAYS AGO Classic! Good reporting. Not having read George Orwell,or if having read it not having understood it, most Australians simply conflate dislike of Chinese totalitarianism with a dislike of multiculturalism. I mean think about this for a minute. Its pretty shabby. But under the guise of multiculturalism, and calling out anyone who may protest as racist, Australia is being taken over. The latest...English need not be the dominant spoken language! Glad I have a US passport. Will no doubt need it when Australia is run from Beijing, political prisoners are locked up and killed, food is tainted, and there is no free press. And to think that Tony Abbotts "free trade agreement" was with a country that fixes its currency...ie does not do free trade. RESPECT Gatsby 6 DAYS AGO If only "Let a hundred flowers bloom, let 100 schools of thoughts contend" was a principle applied today in newspaper comment moderation policy. RESPECT1 Peter M 6 DAYS AGO Silly me. I thought the Australian media learnt from the Chinese how to censor... RESPECT1 Alex 6 DAYS AGO The worst thing the West ever did was engage with Communist China, make them rich. Look how it's turned out. RESPECT1 Joan Way 6 DAYS AGO Kirsty, China Daily is an official tongue of the Chinese government. Adding “ communist China propaganda” does not give the readers much room for their own judgement. For those who read China Daily quite often, China Daily is mostly factual, although they represent official views certain issues. RESPECT George Wendell 6 DAYS AGO Well I always like Kirsty Needham's articles because they just report on issues without giving opinion. This unlike some of the others who report on China with a clear bias. While China often gets criticised for wanting to control opinion, the evidence is that they allow foreign journalists into their country to report widely about conditions there, and frequently with a negative slant. I would question however, why Chinese media is always called propaganda, while the Western main stream media never attracts such a description when many of us know that it often works as a propaganda machine itself seeking to push certain political lines. We just experienced an example of this with the demise of Turnbull, and in the US Fox media always pushes a right wing pro-war pro-US agenda. RESPECT Leftist Elite Koolaid 6 DAYS AGO The Australian media runs Leftist Elite propaganda just like their Chinese comrades do. Just look at the media machine run by the Labor Party voting public servants. RESPECT Renegade 6 DAYS AGO Interesting article. I've met many Chinese people that are incredibly warm hearted. However, in China, the government has total reach. The Chinese accept it, because there is no choice. Given the size of the country, and the regional differences, it would be difficult to see "small government" achieve much. Despite the lack of freedom, and the unfairness of their system at times, they've achieved a lot of good for their people. However, I fear that they have made all the easy gains in their domestic infrastructure, and from providing cheap labour to the world, and now want economic gains from somewhat nefarious means such as technology theft, whether sanctioned by the CCP government or merely condoned, it could not occur without their knowledge and acquiescence.
