Australia, a longtime U.S. ally, drifting towards new suitor China

Posted by Matt in January 17th, 2007

So it may come as a surprise that a recent poll found that Australians feel about as warmly toward a new suitor in the region - China - as they do toward longtime ally America. Moreover, the poll found that Australians think China is the strongest power in Asia, eclipsing the United States.

The results of the poll, conducted for the Lowy Institute, a think tank in Sydney, and released in October, underscore the intensifying ties between Australia and China. Australia increasingly feels the gravitational pull of China’s rise as a global power, and the trend is leaving ripples in its traditionally warm relations with Washington.

Australia v China & Iraq v Qatar World Cup Qualification
Australia v China & Iraq v Qatar World Cup Qualification 26-3-2008 "The air in Kunming might be thin, but Mark Schwarzer was floating on it after reaching into his box of tricks to keep Australia's compass pointed firmly towards the 2010 World Cup as they held China 0-0 at a raucous Tuodong Stadium. Perpetrator one moment, peerless the next, Schwarzer repeated his penalty-kick heroics of November 2005 against Uruguay to this time deny China in a dramatic finale to another World Cup qualifier Australia could not afford to lose. And thanks to the prince of the penalty stops they didn't as Schwarzer recovered from conceding a spot-kick two minutes from time, to hold his nerve and dive to his left to deny substitute Shao Jiayi in a heart-in-the-mouth moment reminiscent of Telstra Stadium 28...

2008 Canberra Olympic Torch Relay - Chinese Patriotism
On 24 April 2008, the Olympic torch reached Canberra, Australia. 15,000 Pro-Chinese, most from Sydney and Melbourne, marched together in an act of patriotism, against the Tibetan protesters. Filmed using a Nokia N95 by benlisquare EDIT: Within the video, at 0:10, there is a typo. It should say "Canberra, Australia" and not Sydney.

"Chinese Violence" torch relay in Canberra Australia
"Passion touch relay" in Canberra, Australia, is it true? =========================================== We, Australian Chinese and Chinese overseas students expressed outrage at the serious sabotage to the Beijing Olympic Torch Relays in London, Paris, San Francisco and some other places! With righteous indignation, over 20,000 Australian Chinese and Chinese overseas students mobilized themselves spontaneously, and converged on Canberra, the Australian Capital, on 24th April 2008. However, instead of condemning the act of sabotage to the Beijing Olympic Torch Relay and the violation of the Olympic Spirits, the Western media, including some Australian media, described us, Australian Chinese and Chinese overseas students, who came to Canberra at our own expenses and supported voluntarily...

Spice Girls- Headlines (Tour Cancellation Version)
Well this is the (predictable) reaction of the fans around the world against the tour cancelation. I´m a fan of the Spice Girls from the beginning but i think its very unfair and inconsiderato whay they´ve done with all their fans in Argentina, Australia, China, Africa,Etc. I am very disappointed with their attitude. I Hope they can see this and change their mind.

NEW Beijing Welcomes You - Australian Chinese Students MV澳洲版
The Australian Version of Beijing Welcomes You (北京欢迎你)is finally here, featuring Australian Chinese students! As a Chinese student who was born and raised in Melbourne, I would have liked to go to Beijing this year to watch the Olympics, however, Year 12 has prevented that from happening... To compensate, I decided to create my own version of the music video "Beijing Welcomes You"(北京欢迎你). I wanted to show that even though we can't go to the Olympics, we still support the Olympic Spirit! No matter what country we are from, no matter what country we are living in now, as people living together on this world, we should do our best to make this world a better place, to build a better future for humanity. One World One Dream! It's been hard work, 6 weeks in total, but...

Pro-China relay fans outnumber protesters in Canberra
Thousands of pro-China fans dwarfed the few hundred Tibet supporters in the Australian leg of the Olympic torch relay. Several people were arrested as police tussled with Chinese escorts over who was running security. Roger Maynard reports. Several people were arrested as thousands of Chinese supporters and pro-Tibet protesters demonstrated at the Olympic torch relay through Australia's capital Thursday, police and witnesses said. At the same time, Australian police and tracksuit-clad Chinese torch escorts tussled over their positions in the relay in a physical manifestation of a long running verbal dispute over who was in charge of security. On several occasions, Australian police pulled one of the Chinese escorts back from alongside the runner carrying the torch, until they...

Chinese Defectors Expose Spies(1/3)
Chinese Defectors Expose Spies(1/3) The Surprising defection of Chinese diplomat Chen Yonglin to Australia sent shockwaves from Sydney to Beijing. Concerns have been raised not only from the vast Chinese spy network in the western society, but also in Australia』s reluctance to offend Beijing in handling Chen』s asylum application. From Chen Yongling to Han Guangshen and, even more recently, a defector in Belgium, who exposed a long running, widespread, Chinese, industrial spy network operating in Europe. Within months, these former Chinese Communist Party members and officials escaped one after another. They all chose to publicly reveal their secrets, and announce their resignation from the Chinese Communist Party. It makes people ask this question: 「What』s going on there?」 ...
