近日,澳大利亚对华小动作频繁,甚至散布战争谣言。澳大利亚记者发现,这一切操作的背后,竟是为了给本国武器制造商做广告。
于是,该记者撰文称,澳大利亚总是拼命挑衅中国,不会有好结果的。
11月17日,澳大利亚独立媒体人凯特琳·约翰斯(Caitlin Johnstone)在今日俄罗斯(RT)上撰文称,澳大利亚的战争机器已进入超速运转,主流媒体源源不断地制造出耸人听闻的东西。
The Aussie war machine has kicked into overdrive with an endless stream of evermore catastrophizing pieces flowing out of the mainstream media by the day.
凯特琳在文中批评澳媒近日播出的一档访谈节目“澳大利亚60分钟”(60 Minutes Australia),该节目推出的最新一则视频,不断散布中美之间即将发生战争的谣言,呼吁增加军费开支,甚至以新闻报道为幌子,给一家澳大利亚武器制造商做了一个无耻的广告。
澳大利亚目前非常脆弱。我们天真地相信美国的军力是无限的,但事实并非如此。 Australia is monstrously vulnerable at the moment; we have this naive faith that American military power is infinite, and it's not.
… Australia does not commit to defending Taiwan from the mainland then it won't be long before they can expect a Chinese invasion at home.
…Australian defense technology company DefendTex which manufactures weaponized drones designed to be used in clusters, saying such systems could handily be used to defeat China militarily in a cost-effective manner.
明确地说,没有任何证据表明中国会对无端攻击澳大利亚感兴趣,更不用说入侵了,而试图将这种想象中的威胁与大陆对解决台湾问题的兴趣相提并论是荒谬的。 To be perfectly clear, there is no evidence of any kind that China will ever have any interest in an unprovoked attack on Australia, much less an invasion, and attempts to tie that imaginary nonsense threat to Beijing’s interest in an island right off its coast which calls itself the Republic of China are absurd.
