Omschrijving

Two Chinese news items inspired the writing of this book, along with a much publicised account of an iron ore negotiation bribery charge brought against the CEO of an Australian company. The news items, 'That China had a military force numbering about 3 million personnel' and 'That China moved 3 million people a day by plane during Chinese Spring Festival New Year celebrations.' For the writer, this was like all the pennies dropping at once, and I envisioned what could stop a force like this from, overnight, seizing power from some place for whatever reason. With the innumerable advances in technical and electronic development within China going on, it was easily imagined by the writer that "nothing could be impossible." It's true that the country's leaders have a huge responsibility to its people in maintaining growth and prosperity, while also looking to satisfy future needs such as energy, raw materials, export, plus the growing mood of the people to have a better life. The writer had no intention of portraying any form of right or wrong, merely a fictionalised account of... what if. Likewise the Aussie larrikin. While not all Aussies are, there dwells within many a sense of "doing it my way." This spirit was born from the earliest times in the Australian settlement of a new country, by those who were thrust into a hostile environment in a new land several hundred years ago. Read this book with the light-hearted manner in which it was written and enjoy with the love the writer has for life.
