aussie miscalculates and gets egg on his face: How Kevin Rudd has mismanaged Australia's relations with China

convict can suck up to hu jintao now in 'chaste' mandarin.

(off-topic, i have never understood what 'chaste' urdu is all about, given that urdu is not exactly a pedigreed language, being the child of many fathers, arabic, farsi, hindustani, maithili, bhojpuri, and god knows what else. it must be a product of the knee-jerk belief that everything mohammedan is good, so urdu is good.)

Article from:  The Australian

ABSENT a swift, open and just resolution to the Stern Hu case, Kevin Rudd now has a China problem. And it is largely one of his own making.

Let us be clear here. Without the laying of serious charges against Hu, followed by a transparent and just trial process, China is in the wrong. Thus far this appears to be an unprovoked and unreasonable act that has the potential to open a significant diplomatic and trade rift between China and Australia.

The commercial, if not diplomatic implications are immediately clear and reach beyond Australia. Who will want to do business in China if local laws can be shredded to conjure a charge of state espionage out of the cut and thrust of robust business deal making?

Rajeev,

this Rudd 'bloke' is the new Nehru. just as we had our King Uncle proclaiming Panchsheel and saying that china had to be in the security council before India -only to be socked in the face, so it is with Rudd.

I am so delighting in this idiot's predicament. could not happen to a more deserving guy.

of course - this is also the fate of manmohan when the hans attack. unlike in 62 when the kennedy administration made a pretence to help; the yankees will stand aside and feign helplessness. someone has to keep buying those treasuries. what a relationship this Han-Yankee. even if it is a pimp - he is all the hooker has!

Agreed - this useful idiot Rudd is getting his due.
