Australian PM Morrison said he hopes to start improving relations with China during his visit to Japan. Well, he is off to a great start with the suggestion of stationing Japanese troops in Australia and vice versa.
Australia and Japan will undertake more joint military exercises in the key maritime flashpoints in the Indo-Pacific after Scott Morrison struck a landmark agreement in Tokyo with new Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga.
The defence pact – which will allow for more maritime war games, military aviation exercises and the stationing of troops in each other's countries – was struck shortly before the Australian Prime Minister met his Japanese counterpart on Tuesday night.

– whether Japan's death penalty would apply to Australian troops who commit serious crimes such as rape and murder – has been sorted out with both countries agreeing to respect each other's international legal obligations.
Mr Morrison said the significance of the agreement "could not be understated", declaring it a "pivotal moment" in the relationship between the two nations.
"This agreement paves the way for a new chapter of advanced defence cooperation between our two countries," he said.Mr Morrison on Tuesday night became the first world leader to meet Mr Suga on Japanese soil since he became prime minister in September.

The two nations will now look to increase their military co-operation over the coming years in a number of key geo-strategic waterways, including in the South and East China seas.China's militarisation of the South China Sea and its incursion into Japanese territory in the East China Sea has been a growing concern for Australia and Japan.It is the first agreement covering a foreign military presence in Japanese territory since the 1960 Status of Forces Agreement with the United States.While Australia and Japan have been participating in military exercises together in recent years, the Reciprocal Access Agreement streamlines arrangements to support the deployment of troops more quickly and wit
The deal struck on Tuesday allows for the establishment of a mechanism "through which the international obligations of both sides are respected" suggesting Australian soldiers would not be exposed to the death penalty. More detail will be provided in the final wording of the agreement, which will be finished next year.Mr Morrison was expected to invite Mr Suga to Australia next year to formally sign the final treaty, which will be followed by more detailed legal negotiations.Mr Morrison said Australia and Japan were committed to working together in support of "a free, open, inclusive and stable Indo-Pacific"."It means Australia and Japan will have a clear framework for how our defence forces operate in each other’s countries" he said.China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi is expected to visit Tokyo less than a week after Mr Morrison leaves Japan.Japanese newspapers Mainichi Shimbun and The Japan Times reported the visit was scheduled for November 25 and will be the highest level meeting between the two countries since Mr Suga took office in September.China’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian did not deny plans for the visit on Monday night. "Japan is China’s close neighbour," he said. "We keep close bilateral exchange at all levels."The two major Asian powers have maintained bilateral contact despite the rising unease from countries throughout the region with Beijing's growing assertiveness.RELATED ARTICLE
Japanese Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi said on Monday that Japan was opposed to any Chinese efforts to "unilaterally change the status quo" by force in the East and South China Sea.
In his first phone call with Mr Suga on Thursday, US President-elect Joe Biden said the Japan-US Security treaty, obliging the US to defend Japan if it is attacked, would apply to the disputed Senkaku Islands in the East China Sea.
Beijing claims the islands off the coast of Taiwan as its own and has ramped up Chinese coast guard missions around the rocky outcrops since the beginning of this year.
Japan’s strategic escalation follows years of mounting concerns that its self-defence focussed military may be vulnerable to pressure from China’s expanding naval capability.
I thought the Japanese constitution forbidded the posting of its troops overseas
Its time to cripple australian economy completely, China already ban 7 australian agriculture products, extend those sanctions to tourism and education sectors
The weaker australia become the less of a threat they will pose to China
Well you can see now why America's leaders are so eager for a war with China; they believed they were at their best during the Reagan days with an enemy to focus on, and now that they don't, their society is descending into debauchery, depravity and excess.
Did USA have morality in the beginning?
Hahaha, I don’t think they ever did, it’s just that the rooster is coming home to roost and now that they are caught with there pants down and no one is attacking them right now, they are deprived on any real rallying point, hence they have to face the realDid USA have morality in the beginning?

1. This would be a serious provocation if the US Navy based another fleet in some port in the region, and China will respond aggressively.
2. Actually, when we think about it, then we realize it is just an old idea, it is kind of a simple idea, that can be countered easily by China.
China will just say to ASEAN, let's have a security dialogue, and what can the region do to ensure peace and prosperity for the RCEP agreement the region just signed. They could even scheduled some military training as well, regular confidence building measures.
The Americans just cannot get it through their heads that ASEAN does not want to pick sides.
China probably made it clear its position over the years. Perhaps ASEAN countries will not pick China's side, which is okay, as long as no one picks another side or any other side.
Then the choice becomes one of economic development, or confrontation perhaps war with more military bases. Pick the America side, or not, then becomes a question of war and peace, where the peace will be the fastest growing economic region in the world, could be the biggest economic block in the world in a couple of decades or less.
Seems like a no-brainer, eh?
(Note, this is not some secret plan from CCP, that always was a logical plan. Peace better than war, this is how to do peace, economic integration).
This is unfathomable to the Americans. Hence, the cowboys and Indians.

You must not forget the us willingness to forment unrest in pro China countries (thailand is most recent example) therefore China must also develop counter intelligence strategies to assist and support countries under pressure by the us
Lessons must have been learned in cia attempt to destabilize hk and xinjiang
China can share those experiences and advise countries facing us destabilization efforts
CIA destabilization I tend to dismiss, because it does not work in the long run, the truth always comes out.
The Shah of Iran, that was a CIA operation to install him. Ever since the revolution Iran has been enemies with America. Come to think of it, those two being enemies probably now twice as long as the Shah rule, haha. Later, which now, China takes advantage of that, lol.
The Americans are hated in Latin America and South America, all because of these destabilization campaigns. They did themselves no favours in Hong Kong either.
The best part or worst part, depending on one's point of view, was when that young radical Hong Kong guy, stormed into the US consulate in Hong Kong wanting asylum. Only to be kicked out and arrested by Hong Kong police!
CIA dirty tricks do not in the long run and no morals.
Even a good swimmer must know how to save a drowning person in deep water especially saving a drowning adult. A drowning person is desperately trying to save herself and will hold on to anything or person tightly. A wrong approach by the swimmer can easily be immobilized in a deadlock situation by the strong drowning person.
I am not making excuses for the inaction of the bystanders. It could simply be apathy but I don't know their situations, the circumstances surrounding the drowning or the legal system of China. A sad incident but I am not qualified to make a generalized judgment.
By the way, thank you to the British diplomat.
