The 'Australia welcomes you' campaign is a signal of how seriously local interests are taking the risk to Australia's image in China posed by tensions over the coronavirus, geopolitics and racism | michaelkoziol

"That in a way really wedged everyone," Mr Li told. "There has been racism. But does that mean that Australia isn't safe for tourists and students? That's obviously not the case."

"We've got work we have to do to deal with these issues," he said. "We can't underestimate that things that are played out in the press have an impact. We want to go on the front foot here."

michaelkoziol Definitely won't go to Australia. There are so many friendly countries to choose from. Why a racist country?

michaelkoziol no,thanks,Aussie

michaelkoziol Hahaha nice try but no.

michaelkoziol People, politic and politician - who is serving whom!

michaelkoziol Nobody gives a shit about Australia in China, just go away

michaelkoziol A few days ago a delivery guy with chinese heritage were beaten up by three disgusting racists in the street of Adelaide. That news is now spreading in Australian Chinese community and in China's media. Sadly this barbarian act wiped out the efforts of many decent Australian.

michaelkoziol It is called Capitalism. Enjoy it.

michaelkoziol Meanwhile things like this keep happening🤡

michaelkoziol yesterday a chinese got punched in face by a white racist in Adelaide city which was caught on camera.

michaelkoziol Just yesterday I saw a man punch a Chinese man on a bike in Chinatown, just punched him in the face and walked away , youll can thank Morrison for that he’s as bad as trump , went for vacation when 40% of his country was on fire

michaelkoziol These pro China forums do not speak for Australian citizens, rather just some business interests

michaelkoziol We HKers warned u Aussie....

j_laurenceson michaelkoziol How seriously Aussie will be impacted depends on how China perceives Aussie. If Aussie is really a democracy concerned with China's well-being to the extent of wanting to ridding off its burden of private property & demanding a China only investigation, then no harm is done.

michaelkoziol Looks it’s the Greedy Bunch.

michaelkoziol And I guess other countries are not welcome? This is ridiculous and wrong. All of the world is welcome to Australia.

michaelkoziol We welcome your money... Just not you..

michaelkoziol Stop sucking on communist money. Communism kills.

j_laurenceson michaelkoziol Is it only me that I saw a big $ sign on their foreheads?

michaelkoziol Fake welcome. Fake Academics just protecting their income. They don’t give a rats about the students once they arrive and the Chinese Govt just laughing , disgusting.

michaelkoziol It's a trap. If Australia welcomes you campaign is to work they need to introduce racism laws to protect people who are currently in Australia, this is the only way to increase the number of people wanting to move to Australia.

michaelkoziol Australia is full of white supremacy and racism, people might don’t say that but definitely think that in their minds. I guess if you are not an Anglo Aussie, you are not an Australian in most people’s eyes.

michaelkoziol Australia can keep having these campaigns all it wants. But the racists and xenophobes in this thread show truly how the average Australian sees other non-whites. Chinese students are some of the smartest in the world, of course they can see through this pandering campaign.

michaelkoziol CCP_is_terrorist ccpchinajudgmentday BoycottChina BoycottChineseProducts australian made

michaelkoziol Fck them!

michaelkoziol Absolutely sick, going against the grain.

michaelkoziol It's difficult to determine which hidden agenda Morrison is running. DESTROY TO CONTROL comes to mind. The Alan Joyce play book.

michaelkoziol Vomit

michaelkoziol How about just don't be racists & flame the hatred?

michaelkoziol Arseholes . . .

michaelkoziol A campaign I'd like to see take root

michaelkoziol Bugger China, they deserve what they get!

michaelkoziol They should also convince the Chinese and Chinese students already living in the country to say to the Chinese in China that they have been welcomed.

michaelkoziol New Zealand have no snake, crocodile, scopin, poison spider, and racist, New Zealand is more friendly. 新西兰欢迎你!

michaelkoziol Yikes just tell the truth and tell china you welcome their money

michaelkoziol All about money. In money we trust.

michaelkoziol If you actually spoke to real Aussies your photo would look like this....

michaelkoziol Well this is gross

michaelkoziol Vassal

michaelkoziol According to a HK mate of mine, a better sign would be 'You know your government lies to you. Australia will welcome you.'

michaelkoziol Injustice over justice, profit over people, selfishness over selflessness.

michaelkoziol Greed trumps ethics.

michaelkoziol Sell outs

michaelkoziol Must think Chinese are all syupid, ie accusations of spreading the virus, destabilization, incursions, cyber hacking etc on one hand but pleading for their dollars on the other. Aus will be the poorer for this bullshit.

michaelkoziol Those holding placards r self serving selfish people lobbied & promoted by local pro-China lobby ChineseAusForum that has no non-Chinese in its Mgt Committee. Majority Australians don’t subscribe to their views at all. China stay away. globaltimesnews PDChina XHNews SCMPNews

michaelkoziol China is not our friend

michaelkoziol dropping pants and bending over to the CCP for money. Dont worry....history shows communists will be good to you.

michaelkoziol Nobody will come.

michaelkoziol Those who don't get enough sex ...

michaelkoziol Well done thinking Australians!

michaelkoziol they are just misguided fools We dont need workers in the 40s n 50s They'd be a burden There is no Tien Anmen so no urgency Let UK deals with them as HK was UK colony

michaelkoziol The people in the upper tiers of education need the Chinese students to pay for their 3rd or 4th homes. Enlightenment is becoming dark.

michaelkoziol Oh lord .how embarrassing!

michaelkoziol The overwhelming majority of Australians reject Communists and those who support the idea of Communism. We 'tolerate' China because trade and peace deals force it upon the citizen. China is becoming Nazi Germany and the same people who ignored Hitler then, ignore the CCP today.

michaelkoziol ... is a signal of how seriously desperate Australia’s business and university fat cats are to have their cash cows come back. Never mind the UyghurGenocide or the need to LiberateHongKong, or all the fun we are having with hotel quarantine, they just want $$$. auspoI

michaelkoziol Who the f authorized this? What govt department? They don’t speak for me❗️

michaelkoziol All done on Chinese owned and monitored Zoom I suspect lol

michaelkoziol How embarrassing

michaelkoziol Complete opposite to the message from Canberra... Why is that?

michaelkoziol Read: “We want your money, to hell with your countries vast human rights abuses”

michaelkoziol Communist run campaign.

michaelkoziol May be put a Chinese-Australian on that poster. Plenty of them here. Whoever is running this marketing campaign is stupid

michaelkoziol Australian people welcome you, but our govt doesn't. They are buying missiles to point at you instead....

michaelkoziol Universities in Australia are best when the students can speak English no.

michaelkoziol This is a heck of a run on sentence..
