Paul Keating and China · The Slippery Slope

0:01
Hi, I'm Jay felon. Thank you for listening to the
0:04
slippery slope now or just want to apologize for not being able
0:08
to record as much as I used to. Not be able to put as much
0:12
content as I used to be able to do unfortunately because I don't
0:17
make much up anything off. Doing the podcasting, all that
0:22
stuff I had to I had to go back to work.
0:24
Basically, it's no big deal, but I've gone back full time.
0:29
Basically, I will work one week on one week off so you can guess
0:31
where I work. The kind of work I do.
0:35
It's all good, but I still like to do the podcast in the video
0:38
releases all that kind of stuff. If you do want to support me
0:42
more than anything, I'd like, you just to maybe listen to my
0:44
music, you can get it on Spotify, Apple even YouTube, but
0:50
YouTube pay the worst royalties. Like absolute rock, rock bottom.
0:57
But yeah, you can just buy my music on Apple.
0:58
If You want or stream it wherever apples podcast,
1:02
Spotify, all that stuff, that I would appreciate more than
1:05
probably anything, okay. Just stream recommend music if
1:10
you want to support me like that.
1:11
Well, that way or just. Hey, just like and share the
1:17
videos are due for YouTube. Want to discuss good old former
1:24
emphasis on the former Prime Minister Paul Keating.
1:29
And you know the comments he made yesterday about the orcas
1:32
deal which what whatever we've always been in lockstep
1:38
realistically with the US and the UK war is had a tight
1:43
Alliance I believe, you know, we I don't think we should, always
1:48
have had followed them in some things.
1:53
I think we might have made a few mistakes along the way, but this
1:56
fella, 27 years later, it needs to zip it and again my opinion,
2:05
I think there's a good chance he is on the The payroll of, maybe
2:10
a Chinese institution or two. I'll just go through this
2:14
headline. Here is from the age.
2:16
It says willfully blind Labour MPS blast Paul Keating over
2:20
China orcas. So, so Labour MPS have accused
2:25
Paul Keating of being out of touch on China and launching
2:28
gratuitous attacks on foreign minister Penny Wong after.
2:33
The former prime minister, use the Albanese e-government of
2:36
making a colossal blunder by back.
2:39
The orcas packed so during a fiery display at the national
2:44
Press Club in which he Lam basted, the most senior members
2:48
of his party and jousted with journalists Keating said, the
2:51
government had signed up to the worst deal in all history by
2:55
agreeing to acquire eight nuclear-powered, submarines with
2:58
the help of the US and the UK. Okay.
3:02
Could it be any more worse going to be any worse than that deal?
3:06
That they had in the lie in the pipe works with in the pipeline
3:10
with Brandt's. It going to be any worse, don't
3:16
think so. Anyway into in an intervention
3:19
that derailed government's efforts to sell the benefits of
3:22
the submarine program which is announced it yesterday or
3:27
whatever. By by Albin, easy Keating, said
3:30
labor had broken a century-long winning streak, on foreign
3:34
policy, by signing up to orcus removed, he described as deeply
3:38
pathetic naturally, this is what he says.
3:43
Naturally, I should prefer to be singing the Praises of the
3:45
government in all matters. But these issues carry deadly
3:48
consequences for Australia, and I believe it is incumbents on
3:52
any former prime minister, particularly in our labor, one
3:55
to alert, the country to the dangerous and unnecessary
3:58
Journey, which the government is now barking.
4:00
It's what he said. So, the longtime critic of the
4:06
orcas packed was especially pointed in his criticism of Wang
4:10
who he says, has been running around the Pacific.
4:12
Ins with the lay around her neck, handing out money, which
4:16
is what penny Wong does, and it's not foreign policy, it's a
4:20
consular task, it's a little bit rude.
4:25
But anyway, he also attacked defense minister.
4:28
Richard Miles saying he was well-intentioned, but completely
4:33
captured by the idea of America Keating.
4:38
Presented a largely. Now this this is probably the
4:41
most important part of the Really why I wanted to read this
4:44
one. He says Keating presented a
4:47
largely benign view of China's rise to superpower status saying
4:53
it was, this is quote from him, not the old, Soviet Union and
5:01
not seeking to propagate, some competing International ideology
5:07
to the United States. The man is delusional.
5:11
The man, I don't know. Whether he's just being
5:14
blatantly, willfully. Ignorant of what just about
5:21
anyone else except for use here. For, if you're in the crikey
5:25
newspapers, news media, they seem to hold the same from the
5:30
position. I do wonder whether they're on
5:32
the Chinese Communist Party, payroll as well.
5:36
Everyone else can see the China. Is very aggressive.
5:40
China is becoming a has been a threat.
5:43
They might they make it very clear what their intentions are.
5:47
I mean, I'll just go to Uncle one other one article that came
5:50
out last year and this is just talking about China and Taiwan,
5:55
remember, Taiwan Little Island. It's only like 160 170
6:02
kilometers off China. They've separated from China.
6:07
They Themselves and, you know, their own country.
6:13
Even though they're all Chinese. Speaking, they all come from the
6:16
mainland, obviously, but they've separated, okay.
6:19
They're roughly a population of 23 million.
6:22
I think it is. They Democratic Democratic,
6:27
they're not Communists, they don't want to be a part of
6:29
China. However, and this is, this is
6:33
what China says about. Taiwan just just to refresh your
6:36
memory and so you can see Ey. Yo, maybe Paul Keating is either
6:42
like I said, just out of touch or he's just willfully,
6:47
willfully ignoring the threat of China.
6:52
So, in this article, this comes from the ABC.
6:54
It says China claims Democratic. Taiwan it claims as its own, as
7:01
its own, China has rejected. And this is talking about the
7:07
program, her their Prime, The from last year.
7:10
Ms, size latest over tools saying, the island was an
7:14
Inseparable part of its territory.
7:17
Now that obviously they've changed prime minister since
7:19
then, but that was in October of last year only a few months ago,
7:25
but they've always said Taiwan is their territory and they
7:29
will, they will take it back. I mean, I'll go to the threat.
7:34
Is that the big bully in the playground going out and picking
7:38
on? The little kids, they had their
7:41
War. The people left, they made a
7:44
home in Taiwan, they built industry there and this is the
7:48
kind of this is the kind of Group.
7:53
What you call it? Yeah, the kind of people that
7:56
our former prime minister is now standing up for he goes on to
8:03
say, this is Keating, the fact is China, is not an outrider.
8:08
China is a World Trading state. It is not about upending.
8:14
The International System. Like I said, he's I don't think
8:22
he's clueless, I just think he's willfully ignorant.
8:25
He is ignoring the facts. I think, I believe he's on the
8:28
payroll. I just want to talk about, I'll
8:30
go through this other article. Actually, I might share this on
8:34
the screen so you can see exactly what I'm talking about
8:37
here. This this is about China.
8:43
In, what's happening, in Africa, actually, China and Russia.
8:47
The headline, says, Africa, pays the price as China and Russia
8:50
muscle in China. The very people that Keating is
8:54
defending China and Russia bolstering their presence in
8:58
Africa, to tap its Rich natural resources.
9:00
Analysts say, let me grave warnings from un agencies
9:04
world's poorest countries, face accumulating, crippling deaths,
9:09
one of every one out of every three.
9:12
Three major infrastructure infrastructure projects in
9:15
Africa is built by China's state-owned Enterprises and one
9:19
out of every five is financed by a Chinese policy Bank.
9:25
This is what this poll have of the Africa Center for strategic
9:29
studies and academic institution.
9:32
Within the US Department of Defense has said Russia, a key
9:36
arms exporter to Africa is also making forays into the
9:40
continent, including through mining projects, granted to the
9:43
Wagner private paramilitary group.
9:46
Well, gee why do you need a paramilitary group running?
9:50
Mining projects. That's very weird.
9:53
I've seen a weird Sarcastically at a un sponsored Somerton.
9:57
Qatar of the least developed countries this month leaders,
10:01
condemned the treatment of their Nations, Western countries
10:05
reduce the infrastructure, financing, it created a void
10:08
that China and Russia stepped in to fill.
10:10
The Chinese saw the Gap and decide to put their money in the
10:13
infrastructure but it mostly amounts to a debt trap.
10:17
These are the pedion that Paul Keating is saying, hey, that
10:21
basically is basically just like, they've just got good
10:23
intentions. They don't mean to, they're not
10:26
trying to take over the world, they're not trying to be some
10:28
kind of global competitor to to the US China.
10:34
The number two economy rejects, practice practicing debt.
10:38
Traps debt trap diplomacy. They isn't a funny.
10:45
They did the same thing with the plane damage.
10:48
They completely deny it all. It's The obvious lightly
10:52
obviously they did it but they deny it.
10:56
It's like they stand up there with a straight face, saying up
11:00
not. This is just, you know, the West
11:02
picking on us where the poor little Chinese people, the poor
11:06
little Chinese Communist party. You know, we've got no idea how
11:10
these things happen. You got to believe us anyway,
11:17
Partnerships are built with friendship and good faith.
11:19
The Chinese foreign minister Chain Gang.
11:23
Just this month, you can't take anything these follows a series,
11:26
Leslie Chow projects led by China and Africa include the
11:29
standard gauge Railway linking. The canyon Port City of Mombasa
11:34
to the rift valley which cost 5 billion and was financed 90% by
11:39
Beijing is Kenya's. Biggest infrastructure project
11:42
since Independence and was open in 2017.
11:47
China's can use second largest lender after the World Bank.
11:52
In December 22. Tanzania signed a 2.2 billion
11:57
dollar contract with the Chinese company to build the final
12:00
section of the Railway line aimed at linking, the country's
12:03
main port with this Western neighbors, some China funded
12:07
projects have been profitable and sustainable but the real
12:10
benefit is to Beijing with maintenance contracts that can
12:13
run up to 90 99 years. I do nine years now look.
12:20
Are you get it? Western countries have done this
12:23
kind of thing along the way to but don't think that China is
12:27
just doing these things. You know, with the best most
12:31
purest of intentions it's for their own, their own self.
12:35
It is a debt trap. So during a visit to Senegal and
12:40
January US, Treasury secretary, Janet Yellen sought to, to, of
12:44
the benefits of a new mutually beneficial US economy strategy
12:49
towards Africa country. Need to be wary of Shawnee
12:52
deals, that may be opaque and ultimately failed actually
12:57
benefit the people that were purportedly designed to help.
13:02
This can leave can countries with a legacy of debt, diverted
13:06
resources and environmental destruction.
13:10
Now, it's good to point out further down.
13:12
This article says about 50% of our debt is owed to Western
13:16
commercial, Bond markets and multilateral agencies.
13:19
Like I said, the West, the West aren't innocent.
13:21
All this, either the 1990s debt crisis in Africa has caused by
13:25
Western countries, not by China or Russia.
13:27
Yeah. Okay.
13:29
However, Chinese Investments, lack transparency compared with
13:33
those from the West which face greater scrutiny at home.
13:37
Like I said these countries. Yeah.
13:38
Okay. They're not, they're not
13:40
innocence of the Western countries Western companies,
13:43
they're not innocent in all this.
13:44
It's just the greater scrutiny. This is what happens when you
13:47
have countries with. Well, I believe based on their
13:53
formed with Christian biblical principles as opposed to
13:58
countries that are based on communist principles nothing
14:05
Godly about them at all. Deny the existence of God
14:09
getting back to Paul Keating. What is the man about is he just
14:14
being blatantly ignorance? So Labour MP Peter, Cahill or
14:20
Khalil. He said that his poor form for
14:24
his criticism of Wang. He says, that keating's use of
14:29
China did not reflect, its increased assertiveness, under
14:33
President Xi Jinping. He says the world.
14:37
We are living in is not the 1990s.
14:40
There has been an unprecedented military, buildup by China, the
14:44
militarization. The militarisation I could learn
14:47
to speak today the Militarisation of the South
14:50
China Sea restrictions on imports from Australia.
14:54
Human rights issues in Shin Jang.
14:58
This is something he is and he's saying this about Keating it's
15:02
this is something he is willfully blind to and does not
15:06
see his blind to the reality that's playing out before us.
15:11
I think he is blind to the reality because just my opinion
15:19
and I'm I'm saying this because he said a few things over the
15:21
years, which you got to sit there and think man.
15:24
Are you getting paid the you receiving Kickbacks for these
15:27
things that you're saying because you're not you were a
15:31
smart man. You cannot be that ignorance of
15:34
what's going on right in front of your face.
15:38
I think he's being willfully ignorant, because My opinion.
15:42
He's on the payroll somewhere he's getting some kind of
15:45
Kickbacks. Like I said, he finished his
15:48
prime minister ship in. Was it 96?
15:52
It's 27 years later, it's time. For Paul Keating to let go.
15:57
Okay, you need constructive criticism criticism.
16:01
However, I don't think he is bringing constructive criticism.
16:05
I think he is, there he is giving a Viewpoint which is very
16:09
skewed because Cuz it's been bought and paid for.
16:18
Let's just say by someone. That's my opinion.
16:22
Thank you for listening to the slippery.
16:24
Just look. Let's just say by someone.
16:21
That's my opinion. Thank you for listening to the
16:23
slippery. Just look.
