Chinese Aggression and New Alliances
Last week, India and Australia joined together in a defense agreement to counter Communist China’s growing military imperialism and aggression in the region. Both countries elevated their ties to a “Comprehensive Strategic Partnership” at a summit between Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison and his Indian counterpart, Narendra Modi.
The military logistics pact, signed as part of this partnership, gives the Indian Navy “a strategic access deep into the Indo-Pacific region,” The Times of India newspaper reported. The agreement gives “reciprocal access to each nation’s respective military bases,” Japanese newspaper The Nikkei explained.
Communist China is the common enemy of all civilized nations on Earth, and it’s a direct threat to its neighbors and former trading partners such as India and Australia. Last week, Chinese troops crossed the Indian border and fortified positions along the Himalayan frontier, reigniting a 60 year-old conflict. They do it because, without these alliances, they feel that they can get away with it.
The larger nations in the Pacific and Indian Oceans who are capable of defending themselves against Communist Chinese aggression, the US, Japan, India, and Australia need to form the framework of the bulwark. Recently the Philippines signaled a change in posture, asking in – to the defense network against China.
Australia is one of the few U.S. allies openly standing up to China in the region. Prime Minister Scott Morrison has been calling for an independent inquiry into Beijing’s handling of the Wuhan coronavirus outbreak. “Now, it would seem entirely reasonable and sensible that the world would want to have an independent assessment of how this all occurred, so we can learn the lessons and prevent it from happening again,” Morrison said on April 29.
China responded to this demand by threatening to boycott Australian goods. Beijing has also been waging a trade war with the country, imposing crippling 80 percent tariffs on Australian grain exports.
As Australia distances itself from China, New Zealand has moved to join China in a “better red than dead” move.
“imposing crippling 80 percent tariffs on Australian grain exports.”
For a country tha has a hard time feeding itself, this might bite them in the ass.
That was my initial thought as well.
They plan to crush and dominate Australia for its impertinence. Imagine, asking for an investigation into the origin of the plague when China considers you to be their satrap?
My takeaway from this excellent post was:
“Communist China is the common enemy of all civilized nations on Earth.”
Right on.
Probably true.
But the biggest enemy of liberty is not China. The greatest enemies of liberty found sanctuary in the West, and have crept through our institutions, like mold through bread, for decades.
Or perhaps a more apt analogy than bread mold is Ophiocordyceps unilateralis, the “zombie ant fungus” which takes over an ant’s nervous system and causes the ant to commit suicide in a very complex way. What is our civilizational nervous system but academia, the law, and our modern-day mythology?
I’m not arguing that the US doesn’t have the “zombie fungus”. And it has nothing to do with China.
China can’t commit hara-kiri fast enough.
They have huge issues that dwarf even our present instability and the whole black thing.
One of the favorite tactics of oppressive tyrannical regimes is to rabble rouse and make trouble outside the country to distract the populace from problems inside the country. China has been stirring the pot BIG time lately which is likely a good indicator that their internal problems are
keeping the party elite up at night. We talk about America’s “house of cards” economically,
and it’s a problem. But the problems the Chinese may be facing could dwarf ours.
