For an Australian, Thailand is hard to understand, but China is easy to understand

Thailand is hard to understand, except to Thais. They love their country to the ends of time. They love their beloved good King Rama IX, the Great King, the King of Kings, the Avatar of God, and so do I.

Still, China is much easier for me to understand. It is a much larger land mass than Australia, sure, with higher mountains and giant rivers, for sure, and it has about 16 bordering neigbours where Ausralia is somewhat a lonely island without anyone to learn from, but still, China isn't hard to understand. Just envisage Australians as numbering 1.4 billion goodly people who have been in the one original Australian nation, in a multi-ethnic and continuous human society, for a lot longer than 5000 years, struggling towards the great human goal of harmony. Those good people are working hard and saving hard and analysing hard and thinking hard and doing what they can for their families. That's China...and it includes Tibet province and it includes Taiwan province; and includes a great love for the Koreas, because Family is Family.
