Firstly that Australia is a socialist country.
Communist China, evil evil evil
Well facts, there are 2755 billionaires according to Forbes in 2021, of that, the top by country is America ofcourse with 724, but second is good old commie china at 626. But you said China is poor. All i see in the media is how Chinese are vying up land and houses in Australia... I assume they doing similar in us/canada/nz/uk etc
none too observant as per, lest we forget the actual poor people of china, who are constantly barraged with CCP propaganda whilst being dealt garbage and pestilence by the government, and for what? being almost subsistence or completely subsistence, agrarian people who actually don't want any of the bulls**t and just want to be left alone, but the good old Authoritarian Communist Regime you keep defending on here doesn't allow them, destroying entire communities and ethnic groups homes and home lands for their own means and not giving one s**t about human rights in the process.
You clearly have blinkers on, you clearly haven't seen the "get the f*** outta my way" attitude played out in the chinese landscape, I think you just like to think you're smart by being contrarian because nothing you have said CZ (ziad, hartman etc), translates to the lay person in china, only those who are lucky enough or have enough, albeit hilariously capitalist, tenacity and greed to exploit those poor people along with the communist government.
as for buying up land, I believe unless you are going to live in a country, you should have no property in that country, this is the case in many places hence people buy condos, Australia should be the same, simple as that.
as for being socialist in Australia, there is a growing trend among the lazy unintelligent youth of the country that we should be socialist, we are inherently in almost every way capitalist in Australia albeit s**t at it, we do not compete well in any other market than digging up holes and growing plants. What some might called socialist things in society are merely tax payer funded amenities, health, emergency services, education etc. A far cry from socialism, and thank god for that too.
