Why is Australia anti-China?

As we all know, Australia is one of the few anti-China countries in the world today. Often make news to disgust China people.

Many people can't help asking, China and Australia have no grudges or enmities. Why does Australia challenge China everywhere?

First, historical reasons.

1. descendants of criminals.

Australians are descendants of British criminals.

1770, the British explorer Captain Cook discovered the Australian continent and declared it a British territory. The British found that the economic value here was not great, so they did not actively develop it.

1776 Britain's North American colonies became independent, and 1783 was recognized by Britain.

Britain originally used North America as a penal colony. After the independence of the United States, Britain could only exile criminals to Australia.

1788 65438+1On October 26th, the first batch of prisoners came to Australia from England. 780 prisoners, including naval officers and soldiers, prison guards, officials and their families, total 1200. These people established the first British colony in Australia. Since then, 65438+1October 26th has become Australia's national day.

Later, more British criminals came to Australia. According to Australian scholars' research, the total number of prisoners exiled to Australia is 654.38+0.6 million, and only 20,000 are women-most of them are prostitutes. They have become the backbone of building Australia.

2. Being discriminated by the British and being "embarrassed" by the ancestors.

After 100 years of development, Australia's economy has made great progress. However, Australians often hold their heads high in front of the British because their ancestors were criminals.

At that time, the British generally believed that once a person committed a crime, he would be a criminal all his life, and the quality of criminals would be passed down from generation to generation.

In life, especially in public, Australians are very sensitive to the word "criminal". Many Australians even burn all documents that can prove that their ancestors were criminals. Some Australian scholars have also proved through research that most of the crimes committed by their ancestors were misdemeanors and were forced by life.

This "guilt" of Australians did not gradually disappear until the 1980s.

3. Fight for "home country".

While protesting against British discrimination, Australians love Britain very much and are full of "mother country complex". Once Britain enters the war, Australians will demand to fight for their "motherland". From Eight-Nation Alliance's invasion of China to World War I and World War II.

4. The history of anti-China.

185 1 year, gold mines were discovered in Australia and there was a "gold rush". Immigrants from many countries come to Australia.

At that time, the Qing Dynasty was already open to the outside world, and many China people were recruited to Australia by the British. In the next decade, more and more people from China came to Australia.

China people are industrious and intelligent, and are welcomed by Australian and British capitalists. Many China people who earn money even have their own workshops and factories, and almost any industry will soon become a leader as long as China people enter. While Chinese have contributed to the development of Australia, they have also aroused the hostility of many local workers.

As a result, Australia quickly created an anti-Chinese incident on the grounds that Chinese people took jobs, and it became more and more fierce, and even a vicious incident in which Chinese people were killed in the street.

However, the Qing dynasty was unable to give necessary support to overseas Chinese. Finally, almost all China people were deported.

Second, practical reasons.

1. "White Left" runs rampant.

Historically, Australia rejected colored immigrants, slaughtered local aborigines, and only welcomed European white immigrants, even only British immigrants. It was not until the 1960s and 1970s after World War II that this policy gradually changed.

China used to be poor and backward, but now it has risen, which will naturally make some Australian "white leftists" uncomfortable.

2. Allies' interests and sense of existence.

After World War II, although Australia's "mother country" complex faded a little, it still became the younger brother of the United States. It is not surprising that Australians often jump up and down to disgust China in order to please the United States.
