With the Chinese expansionism in the South China Sea, I believe that we have sent some of our naval assets to help you, have we not?

From what I read, this particular party seems to be garnering an increasing number of followers.
Bit confused. Sorry for my simpleton mind.

OK well if you have sent naval vessels to patrol the South China Sea along with Australia. New Zealand, Japan, South Korea, the US and..I think, not sure..Canada, well good for you. YOu didn't need to. Australia can look after itself just as well as anybody else in our region. And that includes standing up to China. Help is always welcome of course.Either way. But most Australians are more than prepared to go it alone if we have to. And we don't automatically rely on the US either. Let alone Britain. THat's 1950s stuff. But this is off topic..is it not?

A few years ago my son was on HMAS Success in the South China Sea when they were challenged by the Chinese Navy, I heard the recording of the exchange which was broadcast over the ship's PA basically the Chinese were told diplomatically to F#$k off.
Not only the nations you mentioned but lot of SE Asia is patrolling and exercising with the US and Australia including Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, India and Vietnam

Well America is very good at dragging other countries into their adventures in an attempt to get moral justification for the mischief they get up to.
That's why NATO now should be disbanded because the day that the USSR ceased to be was the day that NATO should have been replaced with something to confront the threat that had been growing and IS the real threat to the world - and I certainly don't mean China or the Russian Federation.
