All these actions is because of the perceived notion that the USA is in the position of strength and will back Australia no matter what the real situation is. To be honest, all this is because Australia is banking like Japan and India that the USA will have its back (despite the fact in reality that this is not the case given the whole America first doctrine). If the USA loses the dollar reserve status or if the USA is damaged enough by all the issues that Biden is trying to handle right now and is not really solving, despite the media painting the image other wise, then the world no matter how they want to, will ultimately follow China and Russia as the force of stability and in that situation, Australia will be forced to consider its future in the world since as of now every country can easily see Australia as a shameless Lackey as they have shown in the G20 in regards to it climate obligations that Scomo simply pretended to care about but don't really do much for because of the perceived notion that the USA has it back regardless.
Imagine the day that the USA is gone and many nations, whether China, Russia and every European will gladly use Australia as the scape goat and will use Australia as it whipping boy for all the atrocities in the middle east due to being a willing lapdog for the USA. Australia does have a potential of being a worthy partner of China but the main problem is the overwhelming amount of USA government officials in the Australian government pulling the strings and painting China as the devil. But should the USA lose its dominance in the coming decade and if the Anglo Saxons lose its privileges that they have abused for so long, then really Australia will be next on the chopping block and ultimately force Australia to confront the world without the USA's backing since this is what is truly holding Australia back. If people looks about the polls, most of the public don't like the government due to there uselessness but there are no better options due to the media protecting their ass and always directing the minds of the people elsewhere, but this is all going to change in the coming decade. After all there used to be a dedicated FLG near the place I live and have always been a very big voice but as of now and recently, these have all disappeared for good almost the more the truth does come out. I believe that things will solve itself with time but Australia is going to have to carve its own path without outside influences from the USA or the UK guiding them since both of those nations are on borrowed time no matter how much the media likes to paint things.
For China, time will eventually flow in the right direction but China should simply take its time to strengthen itself and not commit to anything to rash and simply put, just take its time to win its conflicts through letting time takes its course. As everyone can see, all those issues in the UK and the USA are the result of time catching up to them without China commuting any real kind of espionage and the like, thus I can see the same thing happening in Australia over time but as always, China should be vigilant and take its time to find opportunities to advance its goals in the long run. After all if anyone can think about it, by not confronting Japan for its crimes in WW2 when they were weaker, if China considers confronting Japan now, outside of US intervention, it will not be a matter of if but when China avenges itself of what happened in ww2 and crush Japan when its economy and the moral of their people are at its weakest it has ever been.
Sorry this reply is quite long
