Australian Media That Defamed Roosh Inks Landmark Deal With Chinese Ministry Of Propaganda

Early in 2016, the Australian media was being driven into hysterical fits of rage that a random US blogger named Roosh Valizadeh might set foot in their country and have a few beers with his friends. His obviously deviant and dangerous ideas (i.e., traditional gender roles, nationalism, and masculinity) were presented as a threat to the safety of the entire country, and even the world. Groveling, simpering Australian officials wasted no time assuring their constituencies that they were prepared to face this threat by mobilizing their navy against the evil pub-crawler.

So at least we know Australian leaders are vigilant in defense of their county’s interests.  We are comforted by that, and grateful for their brave stand.

This was why I was so surprised to learn recently that the Australian media had signed on May 26, 2016 a series of six important media deals with the Chinese Ministry of Propaganda. The deals were signed in Sydney, and involved Liu Qibao, Head of the Central Propaganda Bureau of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Liu, one of the most powerful Communist cadres outside of the Chinese Politburo, actually arrived in person to attend the signing. Also present was Gary Quinlan, Acting Secretary of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade.

I wonder what this could be all about? So I searched Australian media outlets to see if I could find any more details about it. After all, something this important merited at least some sort of story, right? I mean, if they can mobilize armies screaming social justice warriors over a random American who has written some “offensive” things, surely they should be able to inform the Australian people about something that directly affects the integrity and impartiality of Australian journalism, right?

But guess what? I couldn’t find anything. Not a word. Not even a whisper in the mainstream Australian press. There must have been some unfortunate mistake. Of that I’m sure. Media elites would never seek to hide the truth, bury important stories, or omit critical information. I tried to contact a few journalists, but forgot that over 100 employees from Fairfax had been fired right before the China deal was signed. But I’m sure that’s only a coincidence.

Who I am I to judge? After all, I’m just an uninformed American. I’m sure the story’s absence was not because Australian media is being sold out to Chinese money. I’m sure that Australian journalism has not degenerated into being a pack of lazy, lying, chickenshits. Of that I am certain. No, the answers must lie elsewhere.

And so I did some more checking on the specifics of the agreement. Of course, since the Australian media was blacked out about the news, I had to read about it elsewhere. The six agreements involved (on the Chinese side) the Xinhua News Agency, China Daily, China Radio International, People’s Daily Website, and Qingdao Publishing Group, and (on the Australian side) Fairfax Media, Sky News Australia, Global China-Australia Media Group, Weldon International, and Bob Carr’s Australia-China Relations Institute at the University of Technology, Sydney.

Xinhua, soon after the signing of the deals, gushed in its editorials that the new agreements would usher in a new era of regional understanding and cooperation. This is the public rhetoric. The reality, of course, is that China will now be able to funnel money and influence to the Australian media market, permanently affecting its impartiality and integrity. As if to underscore this point, the China Daily ran a story in Australia right after the media deal explaining—in serious tones—that claims of the Philippines in the South China Sea were without any merit. It was not made clear that the story was being paid for the Propaganda Bureau of the Chinese Communist Party.

In a nutshell, the deal with allow China to plant propaganda stories in Australian media outlets and pass them off as news. But I’m sure that the informed, educated public will be able to distinguish propaganda from truth. I mean, they saw through the lies about Roosh, right?

Oh, well… maybe that’s a bad example.

I dug a little deeper. I could see that Australia has, at least on paper, a tradition of separating editorial from commercial journalism. But I’m sure that huge amounts of Chinese money pouring into the Australian market will have no effect on the objectivity, integrity and quality of Australian journalism. It’s just money, right? I’m sure that Australian journalists (what few of them are left) will be able to maintain their integrity.

I’m also sure that the fact that China practices a rigorous censorship of its media at home will have no bearing—no bearing at all!—on how it conducts itself in Australia. I mean, it’s totally irrelevant that certain topics (the Panama Papers, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, civil liberties) are forbidden in China.

Who am I to question things? Fairfax tells us that it’s all just a “commercial printing agreement.” What could possibly go wrong when one economic giant dumps tons of money and resources on a much smaller neighbor? What could possibly go wrong when a totalitarian dictatorship with zero respect for freedom of speech comes into contact with a country that (in theory) values British Commonwealth notions of freedom of speech? No chance, no chance at all, for any corruption of journalistic integrity here, people.

I’m sure the Chinese Propaganda Ministry will be on its best behavior in Sydney and Canberra. I’m just positive that they have no intention to sway domestic opinion by planting (sorry, I mean “running”) stories in the local media. I’m convinced that China is not trying to push its “soft power” all around the world. It’s just a coincidence that they are all over Africa, South America, and Europe.

There is just no way—no way—that Australia is playing into Beijing’s grand strategy of buying up or influencing media outlets around the world.

I mean, after all, the valiant Australian media protected its people from an obscure American dude with a beard who writes about sex and culture on his blog.

I am fully confident in their competence and priorities. And you should be also.

  1. You can tell Quintus is getting fed up with Western cuckification when his tone is so completely sarcastic.

      1. No it isn’t – it has resorted to copy/pasting Tweets from the lowlife rabble and qualifying those as “news”. Also @@disqus_XZROw7mDfr:disqus.

      2. We have moved from Yellow Journalism to Green(screen) Journalism

        1. This is literally ‘yellow journalism’-see, I made a funny.

    1. Honestly I’ve not seen a fully sarcastic article from him, usually they’re very serious and academic (which I love).

        1. I really enjoyed reading the article, Quintus. Nevertheless, I can’t get rid of the idea that the Chinese influence might also have some positive side effects. While freedom of speech doesn’t exist in China (to be correct, it does exist as long it doesn’t interfere with the Communist Party), China is notorious for having no political correctness at all. While many news updates regarding China’s foreign policy will be biased from now on, it would be interesting to see if the media would still be so quick to push ‘social’ issues down our throats such as transgenderism, gay marriage, etc., issues that also affect China. China also didn’t care about muslim feelings when they restricted public practicing of fasting or wearing long beard; or as the president Xi Jinping said that “the communist party is more important than God”.
          Yes, it is true that China’s influence in Western societies is becoming larger and larger. But if it isn’t China, it would be something else, like radical islam. The West is lost anyway, it just needs to choose between the plague and cholera.

        2. Agreed, how many Chinese Lady boys have you seen?
          Actually the Hungarians did it first I believed the term was Goulash Communism.
          I doubt China will stop all the SJW nonsense; How does Australia being more masculine serve China’s interests?
          Personally I prefer Yellow Fever to the Black Death…

        3. I get paid about 6.000-8.000 dollars /every month with an online job i found on internet. Those who are looking to complete simple at home work for 2h-5h a day from your living room and get valuable paycheck for doing it… Try this job http://chilp.it/45fc05a

    2. Yeah, I detected a very strong “I don’t even give a shit anymore” vibe while reading this. And it makes sense, I’m sure most Australians wouldn’t give a shit even if they knew about this.

      1. You just reach a point where the insanity is so bad that you just are speechless. I just read on the forum today that a guy in Australia was convicted of a crime for “harassing” someone on Facebook. It was basically name-calling, and boorish behavior…but a crime? When societies lose their priorities so badly, they deserve to go down the tubes.

        1. I agree. I had the same feeling after the terrorist attack in Paris. When the government vowed vengeance I thought “finally, a western nation is fighting back.” But then it quickly turned into the usual hold hands, light candles, and wave “stop islamophobia” signs. Once that happened i thought “If the French don’t care about themselves even when they’re being massacred in their own streets, why should I care about it?”
          Although, I think I’ll always be enraged at least a little watching the West go down this way after everything it’s accomplished, and after all our ancestors did to build it. But in reality, only the animals with the strongest will to live actually survive.

        2. What, you weren’t inspired by the surreal scene of John Kerry standing beside James Taylor serenading France with, “You’ve Got a Friend”?
          Watching that had me shaking my head in disbelief. The U.S. Secretary of State awkwardly standing beside an aging American singing what amounts to a lullaby. It must have had the Islamist jihadis shaking in their boots. With uncontrollable laughter.

    3. Can you blame him? I’ve gone from horror to anger to just plain apathy. If the west wants to cease to exist, who are we to deny it that right?

  2. Well I guess the old adage is true ‘Birds of a feather do flock together’.

  3. Thanks for the article, Quintus. I wish I was surprised but our whole country is being sold to China. No leader will stand up to them out of fear that our economy will die if we offend them.

  4. Please don’t confused tar decent Australians with the shit Fairfax media. The majority of Australians do not subscribe to their fantastical stories and headlines. The majority of Australians do use their brain, can think clearly and are very anti-PC – those who can’t read Fairfax and the Age.
    Edit: Forgot to add that its well known Fairfax (and the Age newspaper)’s subscriber base is dropping rapidly. Hopefully soon they’ll close down and Australia will be rid of this trash.

    1. Indeed-I wouldn’t even wipe my ass with the Age as I’d be afraid of getting colorectal cancer from such a worthless rag.

      1. It seems a lot of people think they’re intelligent just because they read the Age and watch the ABC.

        1. They’re a bunch of leftist elitist dickheads. The ABC is the Antiinformation Bullshit Cartel.

        2. We have one of those up here in Canada too! The Communist Broadcasting Corporation. Their official legal mandate is to promote Canadian cultural content. In fact, they’re the official news arm of Canadian statism. Heresy they say, the CBC’s motives are pure. Of course, because there couldn’t possibly be partiality to a statist worldview from a news organization that only stays afloat because of government sponsorship, right? Why would anyone collecting a pay cheque from this organization have any interest in giving a fair hearing to those advocating for less government, less largesse and, God forbid, an end to the wretched institution itself?

    2. I think the Fairfax brand will have to re-brand in order to get any credibility to start selling newspapers again. If journalists want a future and career in journalism they will have to start doing some unbiased tell the facts as it is reporting, without any kind of manipulative political agenda. I have had enough of their so called “journalism”. It’s just manipulative and deceitful garbage in my opinion. Please journalists if you are reading. Stop the charade and start telling us facts.

  5. Its a losing battle against them buying the whole dam country.

  6. Am I the only one who’s not surprised at this anymore? Who else remembers when the Japanese were buying stuff in America like it was going out of style in the 80’s and 90’s?

    1. Yes and they took a bath when the economy tanked….wound up selling it back for pennies on the dollar

  7. Well I don’t see Murdoch-owned News Corp Australia, which in turn owns The Australian, on the list provided, so I’ll stick with it as I always have.
    On the brighter side though, this means that yapping of the socialist union-thugs over at Fairfax should be muzzled by the Chinese. Hopefully this’ll result in a more level playing field, with the ABC and News Corp Australia the only major players remaining at both ends of the political spectrum, though defunding the leftie ABC would be a nice goal next election. If a media company is going lean left or right, it should do so without relying on my tax dollars.

    1. The Financial Review is owner by Fairfax though, isn’t it? That’s a shame, I had always considered AFR a reputable paper.

      1. Completely forgot about the AFR. This really is quite unfortunate, though not completely unexpected, seeing how financially dependent Australia is on China.

  8. “The deals were signed in Sydney, and involved Liu Qibao, Head of the Central Propaganda Bureau of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).”
    ….the actual propaganda bureau of the chinese CCP. That is insane.
    Here we are banging on about creeping cultural marxism and the chinese red army is knocking on the door. Least there’s no chance of a cultural revolution down under….

    1. Communism fits like a neat hand in a glove for China. Any other system would have caused mass starvation and emigration to other parts of the world.

      1. I beg to differ. It is the totalitarian, and not the actual redistributive nature of communism, that we Chinese (both national and ethnic) require for a stable society. The redistributive policies Great Leap Forward culminated in the worst famine China had ever seen dwarfing the much-maligned Soviet famine of the early ’30s, and it was only with the advent of Deng Xiaoping’s policy of economic liberalisation coupled with his strong stance against troublemakers demonstrated in his handling of the Tiananmen Square protests that China began to rise again.
        To quote the late Lee Kuan Yew, former Prime Minister of Singapore and an ethnic Chinese, “Because my posture, my response has been such that nobody doubts that if you take me on, I will put on knuckle-dusters and catch you in a cul de sac…Anybody who decides to take me on needs to put on knuckle dusters. If you think you can hurt me more than I can hurt you, try. There is no other way you can govern a Chinese society.”

        1. Chinese have done very well in every country they’ve emigrated to. How did they manage this without totalitarianism?

        2. Pretty sure they’re totalitarian.

        3. I was talking about society in predominantly Chinese states, not individuals, though one could argue that the success of Chinese émigrés could be attributed to the strictly-regulated nature of the Chinese nuclear family (at least compared to the prevailing culture of their host countries). Of course, like all good things, all this can be undone by good old Western “Freedom” and liberalism, as can be seen from the progressive degeneracy in British-ruled HK and US-backed Taiwan.

        4. Taiwan has a very vigorous democracy. I like it when the legislators actually get in fist fights on the floor of congress.

  9. Why does anyone bother what happens in Australia anyway? As for the Chinese, well it’s a good thing that they control the movement and activities of their citizens. Without these restrictions we’d be overwhelmed with migrants we couldn’t take. They’ve done a good job at preventing famine and starvation through central planning.

  10. Digital media itself is dying because nobody advertises there anymore. If there’s a media conglomerate you should be worried about, it’s Facebook.

  11. Quintus, for reasons that extend to “I was just reading this recently” your article seems to be riffing on the humorous tone and undercurrent found in The Innocents Abroad by Mark Twain. Well done.

  12. We’ve been getting blasted with American propaganda for a long time. At least Chinese propaganda isn’t hell-bent on turning women into sluts, although I suppose they’re not going to reverse the problem. So now we have Chinese propaganda restricting freedom of speech and views on world politics, combined with American propaganda of ruining women and families. Great.

    1. Keep in mind that originally Communist propaganda was dead set on destroying the family and elevating homosexuality and other sexual deviancy as “normal”. I assume China is following the same playbook.

    2. sure. that’s why EVERY woman in Cuba – regardless of her relationship status – is a prostitute.

      1. Depending on how you look at it; every woman on the face of the earth is a prostitute; they all expect to get paid one way or another.

        1. so there’s no difference then whether it’s Chinese or American propaganda.

    3. The world was better when it was one vast wilderness aside from the lack of dental care.

      1. When we chased down our food across resilient turf and ate lean meat. When we procreated early and had strong healthy physiques. When we died at 30, before dentistry was really needed.

        1. That’s actually false. Lifespans were around the 60s and up for most of history. It dipped with more modern history, and has only increased again recently, and only slightly from more primitive days.

  13. The Chinese have been buying properties like there is no tomorrow in both Canada and Australia. This is just the next logical step, as they need to protect their current and future investments from public scrutiny.
    And your Marxist government is happy to oblige and sell, in order to keep things running smoothly for a few more years. Otherwise your grossly inefficient and burocratic system would collapse by its sheer weight, as it costs more to maintain than it brings in.

      1. Yeah. They hold an inordinate sum of American debt too. And they know they will most certainly never see it because of your growing trade deficit with them. So instead they use the debt to buy up anything that your government has in it’s cookie jar that’s not too risky an investment.
        In my opinion you guys should devalue the dollar by printing shitloads and pay back as soon as possible. Or the alternative will be that China literally buys up everything and the US becomes a wholly owned subsidiary of China.

        1. Or simply default to them only. This would require ensuring that our industrial base hasn’t rusted away of course. But it can be done. Most factories and plants I recall as a kid are still around, just boarded up.

        2. I’m pretty sure there would be global outrage at that, given your privately held wealth. The US already has a shitty reputation from spying on their allies. Things like that could permanently sever ties and leave the US vulnerable to nations with more at hand than camels, donkeys and AK’s.

        3. As an American I could really give a rat’s ass about others opinions. Outrage? That’s a female response. If we “man up” and go full indy we’ll bury the rest of the world in product. Like I said it’s all still here, just sitting idle. You’d buy from us like you buy from the Communist whores (not you personally).

        4. I’m not doubting American manufacturing capabilities. But can you compete in price? Probably not. Besides, China would not accept getting ripped off on the debt they are owed. They would be furious and start flexing their military muscles like never seen before. Shit would get real in the Pacific and South China Sea and it could ultimately lead to a war long-term.

        5. Default and dare them to collect. End of the day we have way more military power than they do. I’m tired of this selling out of my nation.

        6. Easy, Chinese for all their defects have some decent civil defense for their people in case things go nuclear. U.S. on the other hand…

        7. If we “man up” and go full indy we’ll bury the rest of the world in product.

          I think the former is already happening. Some factories are going back to the States because they are tired of dealing with Chinese BS (piracy breaches, industry espionage, etc) and because total landed costs are not so great and in many cases are the same when it comes to a direct comparison, without the added complexity. B
          But they are automated so don’t expect unemployment to improve that much. However the point the other guy made was that any other non-third-world-fucked-up country with some balls would withdraw their investments from your country for a long time,knowing the rule of law is as stable as Congo’s when it comes to contract fulfillment.

        8. Good point on the automation. Stable jobs in both the white and blue collar sectors are under severe threat because of both globalization and technology.
          Of course, people have always feared technology replacing humans and the counter argument has been that entirely new classes of jobs are created to replace those lost. Maybe we’re now reaching a point though where the level of technology and automation obviate the need for so many humans working.
          I’ve always agreed with the notion that the best social program is a decent job. Once the jobs are too few, I don’t think it’s a recipe for social cohesion. Maybe the best thing would be for women to leave the job market en masse to open up what jobs are left for men and have the culture revert back to traditional gender roles? A mass of unemployed men will eventually lead to some form of civil strife or other.
          Read Bill Gross’s investment outlook for May on the Janus website for his thoughts on the loss of the employment base. Bill Gross was the cofounder of PIMCO, the world’s largest bond fund manager – he left about a year ago and started Janus. I find his investment commentaries realy insightful.

        9. I always thought the only way out of this labyrinth (besides returning to the old gender roles) is the conquest of space. Humans need new frontiers and there are no more uninhabited continents and unknown continental masses to explore. The see would be interesting however the impact of an all-out attempt to colonize the depths of the sea is unknown, however whatever happens on the Moon or in Mars stays up there.

        10. The nations do not issue their own currency into circulation, they borrow it at compound interest from a foreign entity

          The tribe in control of communism in the east is the same tribe in control of capitalism in the west. Communism and Capitalism are two sides of the same shekel. Divide and conquer 101

    1. And true to form this cocksucking piece of garbage, to use the polite parlance, whom is Australia’s richest man and made his fortune off the Chinese in real estate is bemoaning interest rate hikes against foreign nationals owning property-thanks to this filth it is now an impossible dream to achieve home ownership.

      1. It’s gonna be a shitty deal for most millennials. I wouldn’t want to be in their shoes any time soon.

        1. It’s a shitty deal for the pre-millennials too. It’s our own fault for allowing this shit to happen unfortunately.

    2. This makes sense.
      There Has been more attention recently to the unaffordable Vancouver housing market, and the Chinese millionaires moving to Toronto.
      They’d be smart to start censoring dissenting opinions.

    3. China practically owns Africa at this point. Virtually every company is Chinese or a proxy for them.

      1. Yeah you’re right, that’s a great point. And Australia is probably next in line to be completely bought up. If I were Australian I would seriously contemplate learning to speak mandarin or think of an exit strategy.
        By the way, if your interested in how African-Chinese relations are turning out see this documentary called “Empire of Dust”.

  14. China has had plans for colonizing Australia for a few decades now(western USA and Canada too). the propaganda wars are only going to intensify

    1. That’s a bold statement. Do you have any sources? I don’t doubt that they want to take over the pacific, but the existence of actual plans would be very disturbing.

      1. No, I read it many years ago. Their defense minister was talking, said something to the effect that we need to offload are surplus population, advance our economic interests in the process, etc. They would also like to set up tax-free zones within the US (do a search, this appeared in the local media, the Idaho Statesman, a few years ago. Were also trying to set these up in North Dakota and Michigan. Everything is for sale at this point).

  15. Oz has been playing bocce with their testes for a couple decades now. No surprise.

    1. Based on what I read about feminism in control of Australia, I didn’t believe that Australia had an testes to play with.

  16. This is great opportunity for Australian Media companies. Quintus, don’t you see the good in this agreement. This gives companies like Fairfax, access to a source of cheap labor. Why pay some 20-something female with 4 year in journalism to write a story, when you can copy and paste everything that Chinese Propaganda Ministry say. Think of all the money that Australian media companies are saving. The people on the other hand, are screwed as usual.

  17. I am starting to think that propaganda is an informal means of genocide. There is an overpopulation issue, so why not just have some people voluntarily off themselves, via lack of reproduction, drugs, anti-depressants and a cuckoldry fetish.

    1. 15% or less of the world’s population though? Why not the majority?

      1. Don’t worry, the cultural poison is getting worldwide and destroying feminity wherever it goes. It’s just a matter of time.

        1. The entire world is doing quite well at depopulation; with the exception of sub-Saharan Africa. When the poison spreads there, or if we just let them start dying like flies again, the task of the elite will be complete. The explosion in population over the past couple of centuries had nothing to do with breeding like rabbits and everything to do with not dying like flies.

    2. I’d love to reproduce but I just cannot willingly stick my sack out for this system to chop of one bit at a time.
      It sucks but then again it does not stop most people so I am tempted to say fuck it whatever happens….damned survival instinct.

  18. Defamed Roosh links? He knows better than to lose fame.

  19. This doesn’t surprise me at all. The Australian Left is full of fucking communists.

  20. I swear yahoo has been bought by the chinese. I repeatedly read articles that its impossible to believe were written by anything other than a chinese shill.

  21. Everything the Communist Party of China touches turns to shit, always has, always will.
    A billion slaves, industrial espionage, patent violations, a controlled currency and they are still struggling, this tells you everything you need to know about the Chinese civilisational model. 10.000 years civilisation, still no vote, still feudal, still cucked.
    In Australia, the Chinese are very racist (as are all the other ethnic groups),
    I moved to a little town just so I don’t have to see what Sydney is becoming.
    Went to Melbourne a few months ago for a gig, early morning, leave my hotel,
    25 Somalians trying to kill each other in a ritzy part of town.
    Called the cops, they were pissed with me, wanted to know why I called them, started asking questions about me.
    In the rich neighbourhoods it’s still very peaceful BUT in the burbs it’s getting brutal, kids have been thrown under the globalist train.
    We are not used to running our neighbourhoods like violent third world ghettoes, so the scum is rising to the top very quickly.

  22. Roosh Valizadeh Be happy.. Fairfax media is in a shit financially that they don’t know where to turn ?? They used to have their press printing done in a new facility, but as they are not selling their shit paper they had to sell the facility & they are outsourcing their press printing to a small out of town local paper printer ?? As the day goes by, so is their newspaper goes by, lots of journos got the flick, but not many people are crying tears over it ?? I call it KARMA… BTW the piece of shit SJW are not giving all their money to support their beloved newspaper ??LOL !!

    1. I pass by their printing facility every so often and noticed it has now become a car dealership-oh the irony.

      1. Burning Hammer.. Saturday night, stopped at a petrol station to get petrol for my car & walking to pay I remarked the stand for newspapers, All Herald Sun sold out ? Age newspaper left a quite big pile ?? Look like only people in Pyongyang ( e.g. Carlton, Nth Carlton, Fitzroy, Nth Fitzroy, Northcote) are only buying that rag ???

        1. Wouldn’t surprise me being the bastion of all those leftist SJW retards. Xinhua sells well in those areas.

        2. It’s a language of instruction for all the comrades to emulate Chairman Mao.

  23. Some dog eaters from china town released asian carp and snakehead fish into the waterways of the countries they invaded. These species destroy the habitat and exterminate native species of fish. This is the perfect metaphor for the planned population replacement. They warned caucasians what they had in store for them, yet natives do nothing. At least with the fish there is a campaign to control the threat.
