There need to be severe consequences for the vassals should they join the party, particularly the Aussies.

It would be hard to refuse. “There’s absolutely no doubt that if the Americans were to go to war over Taiwan we would be in it,” says John McCarthy, former Australian envoy to the US, Japan, Indonesia and India.

“Australia is not a major player,” said Cavan Hogue, a former ambassador to Russia, South Korea and the Philippines. “But if the Americans decided to defend Taiwan which had been attacked they would expect us to join in – or at least our flag even if the military contribution were minimal.”

The idiots would be gifting China a hell of perfect pretext to do Red Dawn for real.

The Australian military is frankly inconsequential in a fight between China and the US. If China wins in Taiwan despite direct US armed intervention, then that means the US Pacific fleet is gone, which leaves Australia wide open.

All those new carriers, 071s, 075s etc might be overkill for Taiwan and not much use against America, but they would be damn near perfect for an Australian campaign, launching from China’s SCS island bases. Hell, in the event of such an outcome, China may well suddenly find a flood of SEA nations lining up to host Chinese bases and invasion fleets, because as much as the western MSM loves to claim they all hate China, they hate Australia far far more.

Behold western propaganda in fully flow.

I've always found the Australian government's attitude perplexing,

I mean let's say if you and the wife go to a restaurant for years and you always got good food and good service then one day, there's a change of ownership and while you are eating the manager just comes out and in front of the whole restaurant shouts at the top his voice 'you are a wife beater'

Do you

a) thank him for his opinion
b) storm out tell everyone he's a liar vowing never to go back again

I think most folks would pick b)

Then when you tell all your friends about it they decide not to go there, and the restaurant is losing business left right and centre he cries to the local paper about how his business is been ruined.

Go figure!

I think that's probably Australia in a nutshell, although still perplexing because they seem to have no problem selling their barley to Saudi Arabia that bastion of democracy and human rights, without saying a so much as a word....

Guess it must be because they're not Black Chinese!

You might have heard last week that Zhao Lijian posted a slightly modified famous painting from Japan to give them a hard time about the proposed dumping of nuclear waste water into the ocean. The thing has Japan's collective knickers in a twist.

Well, they've come back with a response today:

I posted the exact same content in the funny stuff thread. I think that thread is more appropriate for this kind of content.

It is telling that Detente between the USSR and the USA only happened after the two superpowers nearly ended human civilization multiple times in public view of the whole planet. That generation of American statesmen and leaders is now dead or nearly dead (lol Kissinger) so to them the idea that them pushing red lines too far might end up with New York turned into a radioactive parking lot is academic rather than pressing reality now.

The point needs to be reiterated that American led regime change in any part of the PRC will end with nuclear hellfire, preferably with an arsenal of thermo-nuclear warheads in the thousands. Anyone who unironically believes that promoting "peaceful rise" and "win-win" in the context of an explicitly zero or negative sum game like a Cold War is a winning strategy clearly learned absolutely nothing from the first cold war and was asleep during the lectures on game theory.
Agree. There can be no peaceful existence between a wolf and a sheep.

Capitalist world system is by nature one of the strong eating the weak, and the imperialist wolf will not willingly give up its power to oppress and exploit the world.

Only when the world capitalist system is replaced, there can be peaceful development of human race as a whole.
