We the frogs in our nice hot baths, look at China and say wow look at how bad it is with digital surveillance over there ... all the while not recognising the same surveillace and social scoring happening in Western society.

www.reuters.com/world/china/china-bank-protest-stopped-by-health-codes-turning-red-depositors-say-2022-06-14/SHANGHAI, June 14 (Reuters) - A protest planned by hundreds of bank depositors in central China seeking access to their frozen funds has been thwarted because the authorities have turned their health code apps red, several depositors told Reuters. The depositors were planning to travel to the central province of Henan this week from across China to protest against an almost two-month block on accessing at least $178 million of deposits, which has left companies unable to pay workers and individuals unable to access savings. read more Rights groups have warned China could use its vast COVID surveillance infrastructure to stifle dissent. Without a green code on their smartphone app, citizens lose access to public transport and spaces such as restaurants and malls, as well as the right to travel across the country. "They are putting digital handcuffs on us," said a depositor from Sichuan province surnamed Chen, who declined to use his full name for fear of government retribution. They are learning from Daniel Andrews.

Our grubbyment and the ADF are gearing up for war with China. Enormous sums of money are being spent on new weapons, upgrading facilities, reducing our reliance on overseas suppliers. We are even working on our own hypersonic missiles.
We should all take heed of the warning and increase our own self reliance.

"China’s ominous three-word warning to Australia". Doesn't sound at all like a clickbait title...

China has been doing this for a long time now. It's good to see politicians and security chiefs discussing it out in the open. Private companies rarely raise IP theft concerns publicly, as they know the CCP will cut them out of the China market if they do.

China is on verge of economic collapse due to debt and construction implosion. Will need a war to distract citizens. Fuel supply and medicine will be gone over night

This is the closest I've felt like we've come to the boogaloo popping off in recent months, and it's getting my hackles up. I don't think that it's about to go bang right now. Unless there's an 'accident' with one of the live fire exercises around Taiwan with the US vessels in the area. But I do feel like they've set the stage for said 'accident' and I really REALLY hope the US has already planned for a response that doesn't escalate. But I won't be holding my breath because if China drops some rounds on a US vessel and damages it but doesn't sink it, I think there could still be a way out. They sink a tub and it's on for young and old though.
