I have pointed out the inherent anti-Americanism of James Curran, Professor of Modern History at Sydney University, a few timesbefore. Today he returns with more of the same:
Robert Menzies blundered horribly when he back Britain in the Suez crisis.
The parallels today with Australia’s “questions of identity” regarding China are “uncomfortable”.
“Morrison is now as fixated on the Americans as Menzies was on the British.”
Readers will recall I recently took on this argument when it was also made by Niall Fergusson and equally filled with errors:

Anonymous Xinjiang report attracts angst, agreement in questioning ‘genocide’ definition Illustration: Lau Ka-kuen
International pressure against China over its Xinjiang policies has gained traction in recent months, with China criticised over the treatment of Uygur Muslims in Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region. China has denied allegations of forced labour and detention. We look at the issues in this series.
