    The Global Times newspaper said Australia will become 'poor white trash'
    The phrase was first said about Australia by the Singaporean PM back in 1980
    Article was a response to PM's plan to stop states signing deals with China

A Chinese state-controlled newspaper has warned Australia will become the 'poor white trash of Asia'.

The Global Times, regarded as a mouthpiece for the communist government, said in an editorial that Australia could become impoverished unless it welcomes Chinese investment.

The provocative article was a response to Prime Minster Scott Morrison's plan to stop states signing deals with foreign powers that go against Australia's foreign policy.

Under a proposed new law, Victoria's Belt and Road Initiative deal with China could be torn up by the foreign minister if it is deemed a threat to national security.

But the Global Times warned that rejecting Chinese investment will make Australia poor.

'As Australia suffers soaring unemployment, an old and worn-out railway system, a network speed far slower than other Asian countries' and halted development plans, the Australian people may start to recall former Prime Minister John Howard's encouragement of Western leaders to "welcome rise of China",' the article said.

'Indeed, further decoupling with China will not send China back to poverty, but will only make former Singaporean Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew's famous statement more likely to come true: that if Australia doesn't open up its economy and reduce unemployment, it risks becoming the "poor white trash of Asia".'

Shouldn't it be: "Poor multicultural multi-ethnic trash of Asia". Gotta be politically correct about it

lol, Bobby. You are so easily manipulated by Chinese media. Their main issue is at the moment they dont perceive us as weak because we are one of the few countries standing up to them.

I think the CCP has had a huge reality check as far as Australia goes. They thought they could put economic sanctions on us to toe their line, it hasnt worked When they resort to unoriginal rhetoric like the "poor white trash" line (racist comment in my opinion) we know they are getting frustrated. Besides that, we arent really that white anymore. Unless you count all the the Chinese living here because their own country is a sh1thole  as white. Even then I reckon within  a generation or 2 there will be more non whites living here than whites. Have some pride Bobby, dont be so easily manipulated, lets not forget our ancestors took a place with the least fertile soil on the planet and which is primarily desert and we have now turned it into one the most prosperous, politically stable and envious places to live in the world.

yep,  they did all that.

and they would be mortified to see the flight from the regional centres to the cities, where people sit around and do nothing, risk nothing and produce nothing and expect to be able to "cower in their homes" indefinitely and recieve cash from canberra , all borrowed on the chinese credit card.

mortified.

I concluded 10 years ago that Australians have an inferiority complex. We give in too easily. And we are not generally motivated to do anything other than follow the leader. If the Chinese showed up on a large destroyed and deployed with 100 naval soldiers going "Surrendaaahhh", you could bet that Sydneysiders would piss their pants and throw themselves to the ground in a grovelling position. Kevin Rudd would rush to the shore to say in his Asian-face appropriate "What kept ya? I have been dealin' with these honkies for years now".
