In recent times, Australia has made frequent military moves. Not only is it clamoring to develop long-range weapons and buy tanks from the United States at high prices, but it is also committed to developing its own nuclear submarine force. The Australian deputy prime minister has bluntly said that the Australian army is preparing a defensive strategy. As for the reasons, the vice premier was even more blunt in responding to China's growing threat.
In order to take sides with the United States, Australia even tore up its submarine contract with France
The deputy prime minister said Russia's actions in Ukraine were encouraging China to use force. China is making rapid progress in hypersonic weapons, cyberspace and space. The United States and Australia cannot stand idly by, and the two countries are working together to undertake the strategic task of Asia. Although the words have elevated Australia to an equal level with the United States, Australia is clearly a fox.
Whether it is the situation in Russia and Ukraine or the situation in Asia, Australia is an extraterritorial country. Not only that, but Australia is separated from China and Russia by the ocean, and it is completely superfluous to worry about it. The expansion of the military in recent years seems to have improved its own national defense strength, but in fact it is nothing more than a blind obedience to US policy.
Not only is Australia targeting China at every turn, but even its relations with its neighbors are not very harmonious. Relations between Australia and its neighbor Indonesia have been strained for decades over territorial and territorial disputes between the two countries. Indonesia remained a Dutch colony for the first half of the twentieth century and gained independence only after World War II. Surprisingly, in the process of Indonesia's independence, Australia has always been on the side of Indonesia. However, after Indonesia's independence, it turned to support the Netherlands due to territorial disputes.

Australia has offended both countries between the left and right. Chinese always said that they were far away and close to each other, but Australia took the side of the sword and offended its neighbors and its biggest trading partners. Here it is difficult to understand australia's pattern of behaviour. Want to find out what is going on in Australia as a country? We have to start from the two directions of Australia's current situation and history.
Australia is rich in resources, but it can make a lot of money by selling resources and agriculture. There are voices that have always said that Australia is essentially an agricultural country, which is actually very reasonable. Australia's economy can only be described by the word "lying to win". There is no major external security threat, and Indonesia, the only one with which it has a dispute, has limited military strength. Australia is such a country that is stress-free internally and externally.
Australia's history is also short, basically a country created by man. Australia is far from europe, but also from the Americas. Australia, far from Western civilization, has a feeling of being alone overseas. It also gives it a sense of mission that it is the guardian and representative of Western civilization in the region. This explains a lot of Australia's perverse behavior.
In addition, far from Western civilization, Australia is eager to get Western approval. During World War I, Australia actively participated in the war with Britain. Since World War II, Australia has participated in almost all of America's foreign wars. As a country with no land neighbors and no continent, there are few security risks in participating in war. As a result, Australia was more active in the war than the average country.
The national defense of the United States and Australia is almost tied, and the two armies conduct several military exercises of all sizes every year
Just a few days after the new Australian government took office, it made frequent remarks against China. In addition to not being sober, to a large extent, the United States is still supporting it. In order to cooperate with the United States, Australia will not hesitate to sacrifice the Chinese market. As for Australia's so-called new defense policy, it is only a tool for the United States to stand. If you are not sober in this matter, no matter how many nuclear submarines you have, it will be difficult to truly protect your country. China has always adhered to peaceful development, but will never compromise on Australia's groundless provocations.
