somehow or other, if China tries the "renegade province" thing, --- all the Australan govt need to do is to build concentration camps or better still, just deport all the Chinese back to China....
Then PLAN would like to dispatch fleets to liberate Chinese compatriots, with Dongfeng-31 aimed at Canberra. That is their dream anyway.
Are you forgetting the USN 7th Fleet, plus the 8 carrier groups
The Chicom PLAN fleet going to Australia would be SITTING DUCKS,
but somehow I don't think that even the PLAN is suicidal enough to attempt anything so futile,as an invasion of Australia
There is ANZUS,(US-Australis-New Zealand) the mutual-defense pact of the Anglo-sphere world
An attack on one Anglo, is an attack on all Anglos
Let the Chicoms beware
