Xi Jinping warns against foreign bullying of China
Chinese President Xi Jinping has issued a warning to China’s foes, declaring the era of his nation being bullied is over
The fiery statements came during a lengthy speech delivered in front of 70,000 people in Beijing’s Tiananmen Square, to mark 100 years of the ruling Communist Party.
The Chinese President, who is wanting to strengthen the CCP’s legitimacy and shore up his own popularity, used his address to praise the role of the party. He says it has been central to China’s growth.
The Chinese President declared his nation will not stand for foreign bullying
“Anyone who would attempts to do so will find themselves on a collision course with a great wall of steel forged by over 1.4 billion Chinese people,” President Xi Jinping said.
“We have never bullied, oppressed, or subjugated the people of any other country, and we never will.”
The assertion is at odds with the recent coercive behavior from Beijing targeting Australia.
President Xi has also overseen China’s repression of Uyghurs in Xinjiang, with human rights groups alleging the Chinese government is committing crimes against humanity. Beijing has also been called out for its oppression of Hong Kong, where another anniversary is being marked today.

More than 10,000 police officers have been deployed to discourage protests today and local police have banned a planned pro-democracy rally, citing COVID restrictions.
Contrast that to the grand celebrations taking place in mainland China.
Australia’s multimillion-dollar campaign to attract Hollywood productions to its shores appears to be paying off.
The allure of Australia lies not only in its picturesque locations but also in its competitive financial incentives.
The government offers generous rebates and tax breaks to international productions, making it an attractive proposition for filmmakers looking to maximise their budgets.
Despite the recent intake of Hollywood productions down under such as ‘The Fall Guy’ and ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’, Aussie independents are still finding the space to carve their own creative path.
Rob Fantozzi joined the program to discuss the latest in Hollywood, and showcased his own upcoming project – ‘Omerta‘. #featured
