The Chinese are Coming!!!

In the 1880s, New Zealanders (British Colonialists), feared the Russians were coming and built some impressive coastal defences. The Russian vessel sailed peacefully around a few British colonies and created the hysteria. It turned out they bought the vessel from the British navy and had no hostile ambitions. It seems "Fund Raisers" existed even then. The current fear is that the Chinese are coming. Some form of economic takeover. I wonder where I've heard that before. However, if they met the Chinese woman we encountered while waiting for a cruise boat, then they will realise they have nothing to fear. She was inside a cafe looking out the windows at the cruise boat being prepared. She got up, walked to the window and started calmly repeating "Die, DIe, DIE" as she satisfyingly squashed each Sand Fly one by one. Her Anglo husband looked on with loving pride.
