SYDNEY, Sept 17 — Australia on Friday shrugged off Chinese anger over its decision to acquire US nuclear-powered submarines and vowed to defend the rule of law in airspace and waters where Beijing has staked multiple hotly contested claims.
China has its own “very substantive programme of nuclear submarine building”, Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison said Friday in an interview with radio station 2GB. Australia is “very aware” of China’s nuclear submarine capabilities and growing military investment, he said in an interview with Channel Seven television.
“That’s very important whether it is for trade, whether it is for things like undersea cables, for planes and where they can fly. I mean that is the order that we need to preserve. That is what peace and stability provides for and that is what we are seeking to achieve.”China claims almost all of the resource-rich South China Sea, through which trillions of dollars in shipping trade passes annually, rejecting competing claims from Brunei, Malaysia, the Philippines, Taiwan and Vietnam.
“It involves a very significant commitment not just today but forever. That is why I refer to it as the forever partnership. It is one that will see Australia kept secure and safe into the future.”
Lesson. Dont bully or look down on the Aussies. They are hard bitten SOBs. Imperial Japan found out to it costs when they fought them in papua bew guinea. Literally lossed it best combat army there.
Mindless Australia that being gulled by the Americans, Unrepentantly and Stoopingly!
