Historians privately warn Biden that America’s democracy is teetering

The Chinese ambassador appeared at the National Press Club in Canberra this week . Apparently, Taiwan’s 23 million people face a campaign of re-education if the self-governed island is taken over by China, with China’s top diplomat to Australia saying Beijing was set to use “any means necessary” to achieve reunification.

In today's The Australian newspaper there is a short letter (not from me) :-

"After reading the reports of the Chinese ambassador’s speech, it is clear the Chinese leadership has never heard Abraham Lincoln’s saying that a teaspoon of honey will catch more flies than a gallon of gall."
