I'm John Batsworth, Gregory Coppley, Editor-in-Publisher of Defense and Foreign Affairs.

We're speaking of AACAS, the global agreement between the United Kingdom, Australia, and

the United States about the future.

Also in the future is what is to be done with the disruptions, the hostility, the sinister

nature of the Chinese Communist Party's practices upon our allies and upon the United

States.

There's plenty of anecdote about how China is a whole of government, a whole of society,

assault on the US for theft, for larceny, for bad acting.

However, Gregory makes it clear that China has been working practicing on Australia for

some time, beginning with Paul Keating, an Australian politician, Prime Minister 1991

in 1996, a member of the Australian Labour Party.

Gregory, what do we learn about watching how China, once favored of many nations, including

the United States, in rescuing it from the extreme poverty and what you'd have to say

is the doom of Maoism, rescuing it.

There were many years that it was looked upon as a miracle and everything was going well.

Now it's turned into a hostile power.

What about the Australian Labour Party?

Have they changed their tune watching the transformation?

Well, the Australian Labour Party, when it's in government, has tended to be quite nationalistic,

but when it's been in opposition, it's dallied with the peoples of public of China.

They dallied also in earlier years with the Soviet Union.

So there's this flirtation with the left and the extreme left.
