There was the Great Wall of China. Trump has one. Oz needs a Great Wall of Aluminium.

'On Monday, Marles said he had authorised Australia’s military to gather intelligence through an “unprecedented level of surveillance” of the ships.' 'Virgin Australia chief pilot Alex Scamps was pleased about an in-principle agreement and looks forward to ‘constructive discussions’.'The Australian Council of Prawn Fisheries Ltd (ACPF) has been operating for over 10 years'. Woolahra Council: 'Our contractors have just installed two new sets of whale watching binoculars on the Vaucluse cliffs, just in time for whale migration season!'

A's nae the Strait of Taiwan... a's Open Ocean....

Maybe the Chinkers are trying to frighten Nu Zulland.....

Anyway - consider how remarkably similar the situation is to 1941+ ... with Albanesia in place of the Philippines ... China invades... Japan and the Philippines fall quickly, the island chain to Albanesia goes down one after another (again), some via bought off Quisling governments ... Vietnam is over-run and the Chinese face an endless civilian uprising .... Putolini the Weakened joins in with China ....the US fleet, designated under Case Yellow to fling itself across the Pacific, is unable to respond as planned due to a Congressional Pearl Harbour via cost cutting... Albanesia stands alone..... history repeats itself.... over and over ... and years later and millions of lives later........

General Peccary, boarding a Pasta boat to Nu Zulland, famously says - "I Shall Not Return!"

Hold it!!  China is entitled to demonstrate 'The Freedom Of the Seas' - same as everyone else......HOWEVER (said the much smarter strategic mind than any of yez) - by actually doing so they are certifying the Right of all other nations to do the same..... and that includes in the Taiwan Strait and South China Sea....

So while this may superficially appear to be a confrontation - what it is, in reality, is China supporting Freedom Of The Seas - and so, in any future sabre-rattling just outside the International Limit - China will not have a leg to stand on.

Not only that, but placing commercial air flights in harm's way at such short notice is clearly a breach of international convention, if not law.

In any future negotiation/diplomacy over the South china Sea etc, this will be an excellent chip on the board.

Chinese live fire exercise in Tasman Sea (owned by Tasmania) has blown holes in their own feet .....

Last week the Chinese Communist Party chose to underline our weakness and isolation. Beijing’s gunboat diplomacy in a live-fire exercise off our east coast sent a powerful message: you are alone and naked at the bottom of the world.

Even if we had the planes, ships and missiles we need to defend our vast coastal waters, we do not have the fuel reserves to fight for more than a fortnight.

We produce a negligible amount of oil and have little capacity to refine it.  The debate about fuel security has been running since 2008, and yet the problem only got worse. We are an island and our fuel supplies are only secure as long as we can defend the trade routes. We can’t.

The live-fire exercise and the assaults on our planes in international airspace by the People’s Liberation Army reduces to farce the Albanese government’s boast that it has stabilised the relationship with China.  The only thing it has won is the right to be treated with contempt, as we shoot the blanks of “official protest”. How Beijing must quail at the arrival of the post withwith a bagful of letters stamped with an angry emu and kangaroo.


Australia is in no imminent threat of invasion but it could easily be cut off from its markets if China decides to take Taiwan by force.
  Virtual shots are fired in the daily cyber attacks on our business and government. Virtual bombs are already planted on our critical infrastructure. Coercion comes in threats to members of our ethnic communities and warnings issued to politicians who meet with officials from Taiwan, or dissidents from Hong Kong.

And both major parties now fear that any criticism of the Chinese Communist Party will see parts of our large Chinese-born population turn on them in elections. Beijing knows this and is leveraging it.

The next war will look different from all others. It will be fought in the virtual and real world. In your social media feed and in whispered conspiracies. Nowhere and no one will be safe. In some ways it has already begun. But we still have time to make choices. Do we stand and fight, or silently surrender?
