Do you know only novel theory or technologies can be published?
If you really believe the all the science and technologies in China are copied from western, you are fooled by some media. It's not true.
So what exactly can you offer Australia? What technology don't we have that the Chinese are so happy to share with us?
Quote:In this context, "You" means English Australian who came here with cannon. "We" means Chinese immigrants come in peace under the law.
That's what I thought. And apparently I'm the one causing "segregation society".
I am Australian. I am not English, nor is my family. I call myself Australian, and I live as an Australian.
You on the other hand are a Chinaman who happens to live in this country. You clearly don't think of yourself as Australian, but simply as someone who has citizenship. Hence all the
"you" and
"us" talk.
Likewise you don't know Australian history (English came here with cannon? I must have missed the battle of Post Jackson against the Aboriginal Fleet in school history class), but you are willing to hold me responsible for it based on my race. You think that as I am a English Australian (which I am not) that I came here forcefully while you are peaceful. Yet it is my country that legally allows you to enter peacefully and gives you the freedom you have, while your country is far more repressive. You don't take any responsibility for the actions of the Chinese government (you chose to run away to my country because it is better), but I have a responsibility for the British colonization of this nation.
I therefore am a part of the "cannon" people, while your a part of the "peaceful" people. You talk in these categories, but I am responsible for "segregation" for not learning your language?
