China warns Australia after naval drill in South China Sea

[Bussard Ramjet]

So how did it work out for the US? As far as we all know the China containment game sank to the bottom of SCS. It uses its influence on Europe against Russia. Are the Russians defeated? On the contrary the Russians can easily survive despite those accusations and sanctions. US soft power is not what used to be.

Soft Power uses are not necessarily to defeat outright, but to contain, create tension, create enemies, and even create insurgencies.

As for Chinese containment, this is a long term game, where Japan, India, and Australia are increasingly already getting onboard. While Japan, and India; have old fashioned disputes of sovereignty, geopolitical influence, and security architecture; Australia is in it basically due to the China threat theory pushed by the US.

Similarly, in Russia's case, Russian influence has been totally decimated in Poland, Baltic etc. The countries that were once under both the Russian empire, and later the Soviet Union have largely turned against it.

Defeat doesn't only mean actual military defeat. It can also mean defeat of influence, curtailment of strategic space, relations with other countries etc.

It can also be used to create internal insurgencies and disturbances like in Hong Kong, and Taiwan. The Americans, specially their citizens, and NGOs, Media, and activists have been very supportive and actively encouraged the de-sinification of both Hong Kong and Taiwan.

India included in the containment game? I wouldn't wanna put any bet on it. As for Aussie and Japan, i don't see these two having some kind of an impact on China either.

US dogs have to obey. Even Canada, the biggest US *** licking, cum swallowing dog in the universe.

India hates China. I totally understand this. For what reasons Australia hates China so much? China didn't do anything bad to it. And China is the Australia's biggest customer.

they angols, all you need to know

India is very willing to be in the balancing game right now.
Indian politicians, policy makers, bureaucrats, and defense establishment is livid with Chinese encroach into what India considers its backyard.

Good to know that, may the day come when our countries have to fight a real war.

I hope that day doesn't come. But india will be fighting at its border in a defensive war. And most probably india won't be alone. This is what is called balancing.

India recognizes China as a major power but can't tolerate Chinas total disregard of Indian security concerns.

That is why right now india is interested in balancing China. So are Japan, Australia, US, and some other countries.

I personally think it would be in your best interest to placate Indians. You don't want to fight a multi front war with a broad coalition.

Indian troops will run like in Donglang. Many were s so pissed off as Chinese troops were just finished war preparations. Tell your brave Jawans and tall Sikhs not to run away faster than Usain Bolt next time around

That is factually incorrect. There was a diplomatically arranged de escalation in doklam. And india got its most important objective of deterring road construction in doklam.

Good news is, as a minerals and agricultural products supplier, Australia is not irreplaceable to China. China could import those products from Brazil. Let Australia sell its products to their dear west allies.

drills are just a show off as they have had been for years, business will be up alongside as usual, US & CCP are enemies politically, but actual people are big cooperate billionaire who runs countries.

Chinese corporates would still buy raw from Australia because they find it cheap to extract from there.
.
similar in India where business tycoon find easier to dig mines in Australia than in India due to restrictions from Green Tribunes & courts permissions.
