        Given the way the US is under Trump, the Chinese would be preferable.

        But if you’re one of these people who think the Chinese are gonna invade Australia at any moment (and - by extension - only the US can prevent this), stop drinking the kool-aid.

        China’s our biggest trading partner. We have a good thing, they have a good thing.

        The danger of a Chinese invasion of Australia is propaganda that major arms manufacturers/dealers (both in Australia, and in ‘our saviour’, the US) grow obscenely rich from.

        “Ooh, we have to be ready! The Chinese are likely to invade!”

        Yeah, and Iran’s been 2 years away from nukes for the last 46 years, the IDF is the ‘most moral army in the world’, and the US is a shining beacon of freedom and liberty.
