Looks like China is putting the Australian government firmly back in its place.

Re: China reminds australia

Hi

The Chinese have just issued a very blunt warning to Australia.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...exercises.html

The UK had it's warning sometime ago.

Australia has no anti ballistic missile capability at all.

It most certainly does not have any retaliation capacity at all.

The Chinese have no need to use Nukes at all.

They can cause immense damage to Australia by Non Nukes targeting it's population centres.

Re: China reminds australia

China prefers to bully rather than use diplomacy - Australia's allies are large and small and many - this is I believe an example of China puffing and huffing to see if it can blow the West down. It does however have one ally who should not be forgotten and that is North Korea. In all out warfare they would be expected to contribute and undoubtedly will. Sometimes hard to read the Chinese despite the fact I once lived among them. But my hunch is it has become a Mexican standoff - all maintaining defensive positions and none backing away. One wrong decision could be disastrous. China against the west ? - it has much pride to lose particularly after the fiasco in Hong Kong.

If Australia messes with China then they will probably be expecting other countries to come to their aid.

Hopefully none will. China is just too damn big to mess with for ANY of us.

What fiasco in Hong Kong?

In any case China could destroy the west by breaking the Western banking system. That it could do within 48 hours.

did you miss it tut tut. China could do all sorts of things - what it is doing atm is threatening the west via OZ and SE Asia - it is not really in its own interests and it knows it. As well as being proud it is also NOT stupid

that's called cowardice and will not occur imo - and remember the might of Indonesian forces also claiming heritage in the south china sea and then there is another non- ally India - its a Mexican standoff

Hi

I very rarely agree with Artful on anything.

In this instance I am in complete agreement with him.

Apologies Art, I did not see you had started a threat on this.
