The US tries hard to paint democracy as a positive world wide. I would imagine the CCP would paint themselves a good position too.
If you were in a position of power in the CCP, who wouldn’t push for positive propaganda to all nearby territories?
All innocent Australians should realize they are consuming proChinese and proAmerican /foreign/ propaganda.
I would argue the Chinese are focusing more resources in Australia compared to the US. The US is busy with Russia and Europe and likely will be for the next 10-15 years
What are your sources? All declassified documents that I know of suggest otherwise. For example UK's Intelligence and Security Committee of Parliament report titled "China" almost starts with "China sees almost all of its global activity in the context of its struggle with the US".
It's in their interest to influence Australian politicians since that's where all the TLAs intercept Chinese communications from.
Of course, this is actually about Unitary Marxist–Leninist one-party semi-presidential socialist republics, not communism.
> so there are all sorts of radio beams flying around those areas. The simplest hypothesis is that one of them accidentally also interacts with humans and Cuba doesn't really care much to fix it
No, that's by far the most complicated possible explanation. You can measure radio waves, and they did, and they're normal. We also know how radio waves interact with humans, and it doesn't cause Havana syndrome. Radio waves have a frequency, and all of those frequencies have been known and categorized and studied for many decades.
Its seriously a million times more likely that someone has found the brown note and left it playing on a laptop in the conference room. That's how insane it is to say that there's a radio beam that is accidentally interacting with humans and causing these supposed symptoms.
