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 0 v China 1 Goal 22-June-08
Australia 0 v China 1 Goal 22-June-08 China too good for Socceroos Sun Xiang has struck a memorable winner as China completed their failed 2010 World Cup qualification campaign with a 1-0 victory against already-qualified Australia at ANZ Stadium in Sydney. Sun scored the only goal of the game with a sweet strike from outside the penalty area after 12 minutes to condemn the hosts to their first home defeat in the tournament since losing to New Zealand in 1981. And it could have been worse for the Socceroos with Zheng Zhi missing a twice-taken penalty 14 minutes from time. It was tough on the China substitute after the referee had ordered him to re-take his kick after slotting home at the first time of asking. With qualification to the final round of World Cup qualifying assured...

"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...

'China Life' [© Tina Ulevik, Spul Films Australia 2008]
''China Life' was filmed on location in Suzhou & Shanghai, China and is accompanied by music from the Finnish band Since November who produced a special version of their song "Empty Shuttle" exclusively for the film. The film explores glimpses of China seen through the eyes of a foreign traveller evoking the surreal landscapes of ancient & modern China and also acts as a metaphor for searching & belonging.' © Tina Ulevik Spul Films Australia 2008. Music: "Empty Shuttle" © Since November, Finland, 2008. All Rights Reserved. www.myspace.com/spulfilmsaustralia www.myspace.com/sincenovember "Empty Shuttle" will be one of the tracks on Since November's forthcoming album "Starwalkers".

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...
