No, china, it's called having allies of equal stature on the world stage.......something china wouldn't know too much about.
Keep going down this road, china.........sooner or later you'll be having Australia, Canada, the US, and Great Britain, all taking a giant shit on you.
How do you like those odds, china?
You want to talk "warhounds"? Bring it on china.
It's high time you had your dick knocked in the dirt you arrogant, bat eating, virus spreading, backward, nasty scoundrels. You're not some middle eastern backwater.......you're a world power......and you will be dealt with like one.
If push ever came to shove, china, and the US and its allies unleashed the collective, full potential of its defensive might........you don't have the acreage to bury all your dead.
Keep talking your shit and taking advantage of our civility and restraint. Something china is severely lacking in.
Personally, I'd like to see that entire country smoothed over, into a pristine field of green, glowing, radioactive glass.
But then I wouldn't be able to buy shitty electronic devices and dirt cheap boxer briefs.

They are entirely dependent on the outside world for raw materials, components ( semi conductors ), energy, and markets.
The BRI is not complete and they have run out of money.
So now they want to bully little brother despite their vast exposure of investment in Australia.
That could all be nationalized.

Also Scott Morrison clearly not heard of Streisand Effect. That story about their special forces murdering unarmed prisoners was page 7 news for one afternoon for most of the world, I’d forgotten all about it until now.

Probably Japan, South Korea and Vietnam too. Among others.Brody wrote: ↑Tue Dec 01, 2020 5:04 pmclutchcargo wrote: ↑Tue Dec 01, 2020 3:32 pm the editorial describes Australia as a "warhound" of the US

That would be very short sighted of them given that so-called “rare earths” aren’t actually at all rare. We get them from China because they dig them up for cheap, but there’s nowt stopping us digging them up anywhere else.

So, here's the link: https://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/world/ ... 56j80.html
And the quoted text:
And this is telling:Herve Lemahieu, director of the power and diplomacy program at the Lowy Institute, said Mr Morrison should not have responded to the "smear" and "low blow" from a relatively junior Chinese official on Twitter.
He said Australia's response was "overly emotive and defensive" and played right into China's hands.
"We shouldn't deploy our top asset - head of government - to respond to a propaganda post from some junior level official in the Chinese Foreign Ministry. These guys seek attention and we have given it to them," Mr Lemahieu said.
"I would describe it as a smear and a sub-tweet, and I didn't think it merited a response from the Prime Minister. It's beneath the Prime Minister to have to react to that."
Mr Lemahieu said he believed the tweet was used as "bait to lure a response", and also to switch the debate from China's "blatant violation of the economic rules-based order" by imposing unfair tariffs on Australia.
"That [the tariffs] is the big story, and to me it looks like they are trying to switch the subjects and make Australia look like the villain. We shouldn't have fallen for it," he said.
"It is not a coincidence the Russians got involved as well. I wouldn't have been surprised if they coordinated their efforts in the last few days in terms of seizing on what they think is a soft target."
Michael Shoebridge, director of Australian Strategic Policy Institute's defence and national security program, said social media post "shows again why Chinese soft power is collapsing internationally".
"The Afghan war crimes inquiry and the Australian government moves to hold itself and Australian soldiers to account are in stark contrast to the Chinese government’s denials and cover-ups about its abuses in Xinjiang and its repression in Hong Kong," Mr Shoebridge said.
"The world knows about the alleged unlawful killings of 39 Afghans because of a forensic inquiry conducted by Australia authorities, with a 480-page report released publicly.
"In contrast, the world knows about the over one million Uighurs in detention camps in China because of the accounts of escapees, because of leaked Chinese government documents, and analysis of satellite imagery."

Colorado and Western Australia are mining now.That would be very short sighted of them given that so-called “rare earths” aren’t actually at all rare. We get them from China because they dig them up for cheap, but there’s nowt stopping us digging them up anywhere else.

ARU Arafura, in Northern Territory, project ready to go subject to investment
