Chinese investment in Au has dropped from $16.5 bill in 2016 to 1 bill last year
- largely due to Australia's the new foreign investment restrictions.

Australia farmers are due for a record $60 bill in exports this financial year.
- due in part to broadening it's markets outside China.

A new study shows Chinese Australians are suffering unprecedented abuse and racism.
While this is not good, it shows that China's bullying of Australia has back-fired very badly.

So take the hint, Ambassador Wang Xining, Flock Off back home,
"The dogs are pissing on your swag" - as Aussies say in their usual poetic way.

(swag; camping gear.
Meaning; even the dogs have withdrawn their welcome, it's time for you to Piss Off, "Mate")

Asian diplomacy at it’s finest. Classic scorched earth. Chinese literature is full of stories of revenge carried out over generations, wiping the slate clean of entire families and lineages. The earth revolves around the Middle Kingdom. Core belief of the PRC.

From the world’s biggest Asian democracy (People’s Democracy, that is).

The question is how will the revenge be carried out? This could be start of a multi decades long subjugation of the Aussies. Taiwan lite. Hope the Aussies are tough enough to win the long game.

^^^ NOT Asian diplomacy at all. It is the exact opposite.
It is Chinese diplomacy.

"It's Total War" - your words, Nuke.
Except for some Taiwanese no other "asians" are calling for that..
