Mr O,

Why would China want to physically invade Australia? With the messy situation of Australia having some kind of phony treaty with the USA, the Americans are great at making treaties, look how many they made with the Native Americans, the Mohicans are still thankful to this day for their treaty with Uncle Sam. For China, costly destruction and possible all-out war such an invasion could entail would be counter productive. Is it not better to hold Australia as some kind of semi vassal state, with dutiful politicians oozing with China friendly policies, and a compliant people ever at the ready to "Lift that bail, and tote that Pale" for the betterment of the Fatherland? What more could we ask for?

The chances of China TRYING to invade Australia are slim, no more than 1%. They are evil, but not suicidal.

If they do try, then we and our friends will cut them to pieces. We might die too in the process and there may even be no humanity left, but certainly not a China.

Our main vulnerability though, is our dependence on imported oil for transport. It is quite feasible for China to block our supply routes and sink any oil tanker that tries to reach Australia. It should therefore be our top priority to restore our oil production and refining capacity.

We should also make every effort to restore our local production of everything so we will no longer need to depend on anyone ever again. COVID-19 provides us with the golden opportunity to do just that.

Sorry, Josephus,

I may have had you wrong and lumped you in with the Village Idiot. I apologise.

Joe
