"Unless it stands up against China in the South China Sea, Australia will 'lose the next decade.'" This is the view expressed by Australian Defence Minister Darton in a recent interview with Australian media.

"For a long time in the past, the United States 'acquiesced' to China's militarization in the South China Sea, so much so that they now have 20 man-made islands and military bases in this place, which is clearly detrimental to regional stability," Dutton said. If this 'acquiescence' is perpetuated, Australia and its allies will lose the next decade. So Dutton is unabashed to say that in order to survive the next decade, Australia and its allies must confront China based on the South China Sea.

I have to say that Dutton's remarks can be described as ridiculous! As China's sovereign sea, we have the right to carry out any construction within its scope; especially in the context of foreign forces, mainly the United States and Australia, which frequently carry out military provocations in this region under the guise of "maintaining regional stability", our militarization of the South China Sea is even more extremely necessary.

Today's Australia has embarked on the road of no return under the coercion of Morrison, Dutton and the like, so Canberra must always show a positive "anti-China" posture to please the United States and highlight its importance - Darden's interview coincided with Blinken's plan to travel to Melbourne to attend the "Group of Four" foreign ministers' meeting. So it is clear that Dutton's remarks are largely setting the mood for the meeting of the foreign ministers of the four countries.

On the other hand, Dutton also mentioned the OAKIS alliance established by the United States, Britain and Australia in the interview, and mentioned the fact that the United States and Britain helped Australia build nuclear submarines. Therefore, it is not difficult to understand that Dutton constantly exaggerates and exaggerates the so-called "China threat theory" in order to be able to obtain nuclear submarines from the United States and Britain as soon as possible.

Finally, Darden should be warned not to believe that it is safe to put all your eggs in one basket; insisting on making enemies of China and willingly acting as a pawn for the United States against China will only make Australia lose more!
