O'Dwyer refused and informed the Australian government of the approach. Since then the Chinese have developed technology and calls their military development program, 'Metal Storm'.

Famous quotes containing the words foreign and/or interest:
“Where the heart is, there the muses, there the gods sojourn, and not in any geography of fame. Massachusetts, Connecticut River, and Boston Bay, you think paltry places, and the ear loves names of foreign and classic topography. But here we are; and, if we tarry a little, we may come to learn that here is best. See to it, only, that thyself is here;—and art and nature, hope and fate, friends, angels, and the Supreme Being, shall not absent from the chamber where thou sittest.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Wherever there is interest and power to do wrong, wrong will generally be done.”
—James Madison (1751–1836)
