Seriously, our two big-boy best friends have always been China and the US. Now tensions are really coming to a head we’re going to side with the failed state of the US? I don’t understand anything about foreign policy.
Australia will always be stuck being very dependent on whatever regional naval power there is due to island logistics. Right now, it’s the United States. However, China makes up 69.7% of Australia’s entire export market. There has been speculation that China would be Australia’s number 1 ally as soon as China forms enough of a navy to be regionally dominant in Oceania.
and that’s happening, I’ve heard China has started using the sea to hide their submarines
yeah it’s foolish to assume China will try to be the new world police after thwarting American hegemony, but it’s still up in the air if they’ll decide to play god in Oceania
Australia bailed on the Brits once the empire crumbled, we will do the same to the Yanks
