Uyazi ukuthi usenkingeni yangempela uma usuphenduka amahlaya ku-inthanethi.
Thatha lena ezungeza eNdiya: IMuslim lalihlezi eduze komuntu wase-Australia endizeni esuka eLondon iya eMelbourne futhi lapho ama-oda okuphuza ethathwa, i-Aussie yacela i-rum ne-Coke, eyabekwa phambi kwakhe.
Umlindi wabe esebuza umSulumane ukuthi angathanda yini ukuphuza. Waphendula ngokunengeka, “Ngincamela ukudlwengulwa ngonya izifebe eziyishumi nambili kunokuba ngivumele utshwala buthinte izindebe zami.”
U-Aussie wabuyisela isiphuzo sakhe wathi: “Nami futhi. Bengingazi ukuthi singazikhethela.”
Ngike ngahleka isikhashana ngaphambi kokucabangela ukuthi athini amahlaya ngathi. Ziningi, futhi itimu evamile ukuthi abantu base-Australia (ngokuvamile abakwaMelburnian) bayiziphukuphuku futhi abanasimilo. Futhi siphuza kakhulu.
Akukho lutho olusha noma olungajwayelekile mayelana nokusetshenziswa kwemibono yamasiko ehlaya. Kepha isho okuthile okuthokozisayo ngendlela i-Australia ebonwa ngayo esifundeni.
Ukuphawula kwabafundi ezingosini zamaphephandaba esiNgisi njenge-Times of India nakho kwenza ukufunda kucindezele. Isethi evamile yokugomela ukuthi abantu base-Australia bangabantu abahlakaniphe, abafundile kabi futhi bathambekele ngokofuzo ekubeni iziwula, ukucwasa ngokwebala nokungathembeki ngenxa yefa lethu leziboshwa.
Ngokusho komunye umfundi, yilabo ababekade beneziboshwa abavela emajele aseNdiya kuphela okufanele bathunyelwe lapha ukuzofunda.
Enyakatho ye-Himalaya, imibono efakwe kuwebhusayithi ye-China Daily elawulwa uhulumeni ifana ne-vitriolic. Isihloko sesizindalwazi ngasekupheleni kwesonto eledlule bekungumbiko wokuthi uNgqongqoshe Wezohwebo uSimon Crean ukuqinisekisile ukuthi izingxoxo zokuhwebelana zamahhala phakathi kweChina ne-Australia zizoqhubeka eBeijing ngoSepthemba, naphezu kobudlelwano obungebuhle phakathi kwala mazwe womabili.
Lawa kwakungamazwana avamile athunyelwe ekuphenduleni: “igazi eligijima kulawa maqola alinakushintshwa ngokuhamba kwesikhathi … ukuxhasa ngemali amaphekula e-Australia akwamukelekile neze. Kudingeka iqili ukusekela iqili.”
I-Australia inenkinga enkulu ye-PR.
Endabeni yaseNdiya, umuzwa omelene ne-Australia ngokwengxenye uwukubonakaliswa kwezenzakalo zakamuva. Ngaphandle komdlalo wekhilikithi, bekunentukuthelo mayelana nempatho ye-AFP kudokotela ongowokuzalwa eNdiya uMohamed Haneef, owaboshwa ngamanga ngamacala ahlobene nobuphekula.
I-India, okuyizwe elibuswa ngentando yeningi emhlabeni wonke, nayo ilinyazwe yi-Australia yokwenqaba ukuyidayisa i-uranium ngoba ayizange isisayine iSivumelwano Sokunqanda Ukwandiswa KweNuclear esinamandla, nakuba i-Australia yathumela amathani ezinto eChina, umbuso wobushiqela wamaKhomanisi.
Ubudlelwano bube muncu muva nje ngenxa yodlame olubhekiswe kubafundi baseNdiya, olugqugquzelwe imibiko eshibhile kwabezindaba zaseNdiya.
Odabeni lwaseChina, uhide lwezigameko zakamuva nalo lubone ubudlelwano bumuncu. Kuhlanganiswe nokuphawula kukaNdunankulu uKevin Rudd kubafundi basePeking University mayelana nokuhlukunyezwa kwamalungelo abantu ngo-April ngonyaka odlule; imibiko yobudlelwano bukaJoel Fitzgibbon nosomabhizinisi wesifazane owazalelwa eShayina uHelen Liu; isinqumo se-Rio Tinto sokuhoxa ekuhlanganisweni okuhlongozwayo ne-Chinalco yombuso; ukuboshwa kwesikhulu saseRio uStern Hu; kanye nesinqumo se-Australia sokunikeza i-visa isishoshovu se-Uighur u-Rebiya Kadeer, obonwa njengephekula eChina.
Lesi sihlava sifinyelele umvuthwandaba ngesonto eledlule lapho abezindaba bezwe laseShayina behluleka kakhulu ukubika ngesivumelwano segesi esingamaRandi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingama-50, befuna unswinyo olubhekiswe kwezokuvakasha zase-Australia, imfundo nensimbi futhi besola i-Australia “ngokuchema namaphekula”.
Iqembu eliphikisayo lizimisele ngokususa uthuthuva lwezepolitiki.
Ngemuva kokusola uRudd okhuluma isiMandarin ngokusondelana kakhulu neChina, ungqongqoshe wezangaphandle kweqembu eliphikisayo uJulie Bishop ngeledlule ubonakale eshintsha isimo, emsola "ngokungafaneleki" ukuphatha ubudlelwano. Okufakwe ezicelweni zakhe ukuthi uRudd bekungafanele afundise iChina ngamalungelo abantu futhi "acasule ngokungenasidingo amaShayina" ngokukhipha iphepha lezokuvikela eliveza iChina njengosongo olukhulu lwezempi lwase-Australia.
Usole uRudd "ngokuxabanisa" ukuphathwa kwe-visa eKadeer kanye nokwehluleka "ukusebenzelana neChina ngendlela eyakhayo" kulolu daba.
Ngabe uMbhishobhi wayephakamisa ukuthi i-Australia bekungafanele inikeze uKadeer i-visa? Noma ukuthi i-White Paper bekungafanele ikhombe i-China njengosongo? Noma ngabe uHulumeni bekungafanele azwakalise ukukhathazeka ngamalungelo abantu? Kungenzeka yini ukuthi uMbhishobhi angaba yilungu leqiniso lase-Australia le-Manchurian?
Endabeni yeNdiya neChina, kuningi okusengozini. Ngonyaka odlule, i-Australia yathumela izimpahla nezinkonzo zenani eliyizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-37.2 e-China kanye nenani eliyizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-16.5 zamaRandi eNdiya.
KuHulumeni we-Rudd, ukulinganisa izimiso zezombusazwe zasekhaya kanye nezindinganiso zase-Australia ngokumelene nezintshisakalo zezohwebo kuzoba isenzo esinzima.
