Then the world wonders why the Chinese or Russians try to influence US elections. Now Australia is involved with china's issues we could be inviting Chinese influence into Australian politics.
It seems like a double standard when the US is continually conquering governments with military action. Placing pressure on other countries, influencing political activities and yet expects no influence in their own elections.
When someone does try to influence a US election or reveal mud its classified as spying and they are arrested. If someone does the same to China they become a political prisoner. Same horse with a different name.
