Geoff Raby, the australian ambassador to China from 2007 to 2011, said australia needed China more than the other way around.
so much for "lets find other markets, lets not sell anything to these communists" or worse "lets sell to india" lol
I really hope China will go after their education sector next, Chinese international students has been a cashcow for australian universities and overpriced property sector for far too long
Australia is a captured state; captured in the sense that the intelligence agencies really run the show and those intelligence agencies have pledged allegiance to the US military/CIA. It certainly doesn't help also that Australia is incorporated in New York.It's a culturality affinity, Australia sees itself as part of the "Anglosphere" with the US and part of the West more broadly. Shared culture, values, ethnicity, etc.
East Asians don't do this--see the emnity between China and Taiwan, etc. They will go at each other's throats big time. Whereas the West is more united. A Western country will shoot itself in the balls economically before it detaches from its Western bloc.
