a trade war that has been continuing for over 20 years

Pushed by your country every single time.

extremely high property prices

Your housing is financialized. This is capitalism in your country functioning per capitalists' intentions.

continually being sold to foreign investment firms

This is a consequence of financialization. But you're supposed to be talking about China, right? Why don't you show us a breakdown of the percentage of your country's real estate is foreign-owned and by country?

Anglos have been scapegoating other countries for their financialized real estare bubbles to take the heat off their own financial capitalists, i.e. the people actually doing the deed.

an agricultural industry formally based upon small business family farms now being funnelled into a few small foreign hands

You used that word again - foreign. Is everything foreign China?

PS your country's agricultural industry has monopolized for ages, you're describing a myth that hasn't been true since the 70s.

a loss in political influence over our neighbours due to a global superpower pushing us out

Why does your country deserve political influence over its neighbors! What has it actually done with that influence? Ever done any investigation of, say, East Timor?

an education system focused on providing greater care for exchange students than educating an increasingly stupid at home population

Oh so you're just a xenophobe and likely racist. Go ahead and show your math on that one, O Great Working Class Appreciator.

would you like me to go on?

I'd rather you grew a spine and stopped pretending at knowledge.

edit: also my favourite, random military drills in nearby waters without warning leading to passenger flights being diverted so they dont get shot down

Just think critically. Just for a moment. These were "warships". Their live fire is basically big guns. How high to passenger aircraft fly? Put on your thinking cwhataboutismon't want to get all wgataboutism lest you have a critical thought, but what might be comparable here for, say, Australia? Has it, perchance, engaged in naval war exercises in the Taiwan Strait? Go ahead and remind yourself.
