What Trumps Freedom and Virtue?
Topic: Politics
Why money of course. It's always about the money. Why if you happen to be a diplomat from China who want asylum in oh say, Australia, the chances of you getting it even though we know China holds prisons full of political prisoners who have done nothing more than perhaps say they don't like the government in China, well your chances are similar to the snowball in hell. Story Here Why would Australia happen to quickly say no the asylum seeking Chinese diplomat? Oh, perhaps it's economic, perhaps it's the free trade deal that Australia is negotiating with China. And it's only a few days removed from the anniversary of the Tiananmen Square Massacre which is politely forgotten about in the news which does revel in anniversaries about things that interest them. Once again, it's the money that talks.
