The view from China:
Why has Moselmane become a scapegoat amidst widespread anti-China
hysteria in Australia? What has China done to incur such
fury and hostility from hawkish "
panda-bashers" in Australia? China has demonstrated leadership as it has successfully brought the epidemic under control. What China has achieved to contain the outbreak and revive the economy has contributed to the international efforts to fight with the COVID-19.
What Moselmane voiced in his essays are not just compliments of China. He also mentioned the steadfast progress being made in other parts of the world.
That is obviously not acceptable for the anti-China politicians and media outlets down under. They have spared no effort to
vilify and slam China at every chance. Some Australian media outlets have played a
destructive role blaring rhetoric repeatedly that
demonizes and stigmatizes China. Some media outlets even resorted to
disinformation to stoke up the general public's ill feelings toward Beijing.
What Moselmane wrote "the dregs of White Australianism from the past" was
intentionally mistranslated by an Australian reporter as, "obsolete scums of white Australia" in order to stir up public hatred.
http://www.globaltimes.cn/content/1192867.shtml Feverish agit-prop.
Is it true though? Because "the dregs of white Australianism" is actually indeed VERY VERY different to 'obesolte scums of White Australia."
It's not different. Either way it is very derogatory of white Australians who have actually made this country desirable to Turkish immigrants like Whasis Musselmanah.
Most of the non-European, tinted immigrants can't help themselves, many of them feel compelled to denigrate the achievements of white Europeans simply to lessen the contrast with the miserableness of their own cultural achievements and their limited contribution to humanity before they availed themselves to the benefits of Western civilizations. The exceptions, like VS Naipaul or Thomas Sowell, bring this point into a stark relief.
Most tinted 'intellectuals' are screaming about white privilege from their university positions - positions which did not exist in their pre-European cultures.
In any case, there are no races - but if you say that while white, you ARE a wacists, white fragility DENIER!!! (where did we hear that moniker before???)
This whole BLM/China wacism/identity politics wheeze is far too stupid - and that is it's greatest danger. you cannot reason with people who consciously put themselves OUTSIDE reasoning. It's Cambodia, 1975, Cultural Revolution, Kristallnacht.
I disagree completely with you.
The wording "Obsolute scums of white Australia" - written by our journalist, can be interpreted as describing each Australian with white heritage as being obsolute scums, regardless of what they do - if you just adding an 'n' at the end. And it is done deliberately to incite reader's rage. This is a small trick, but an obvious one. Anyone who being to an arts degree or school can tell you that.
The wording "the dregs of white Australialism", is completely different. White Australialism is different to White Australia, and White Australian. It does not refer to a person or group of people. Or rather, it refers to a belief that was outdated and no longer valid in modern society.
Credit is where credit is due. If there is concrete evidence that the MP is a Chinese Agent, then he should be charged as such, and then receive the proper punishment as prescribed by our law.
However, if we go around, twisting his words, to further our own agenda that suits us or what ever politics it is at the time. Then what have we become? What is then the difference between our so call free media and the Chinese state controlled media?
