陆克文 is nothing friendly to China. In "The Age" today P.15, there is an article about this. It said, "China authorities are disappointed with Rudd and frankly, found Howard easier to deal with."
Actually those Westerners who used to live in China, most of the time are more rude, unfriendly and arrogant to China. Why? Because they were treatly too nicely, sometimes even too spoiled by Chinese people when they were there. As we all know, we Chinese people always treat LAOWAI much more friendly than to our own fellows. We are good at WO LI DOU.
One of my Aussie colleagues who was very friendly before has changed his attitude significantly bossy and arrogant after he came back from his two year project staying in China, because he was used to being treated like a king in China.
So I never trusted Rudd, even when he was newly elected. What major project has been signed during his time? None. The latest one was the one in WA signed by John Howard.
