The Mandarin Candidate November 24, 2007

I fear that Australia might have voted itself out of existence yesterday.
Aside from everything else, the most worrisome thing about Kevin Rudd, Australia’s new Labour Party Prime Minister, is that he is fluent in Chinese. Usually, it’s no big deal that heads of state are conversant in foreign languages, but the reason that an Australian PM speaking Chinese is particularly worrisome is the same reason why President Bush’s fluency in Spanish is worrisome. The reason is immigration pandering.
Consider: There are 1.3 billion Chinese, and 19 million white Australians. The Chinese are already Australia’s largest minority, and it wouldn’t take that large of a fraction of China’s population to “immigrate” to Australia, nor that much time, for Australia to become an appendage of China itself.
