Perhaps miles, but as some of the posters suggest, the only interest China has in us is how better to control their own population
I rekon thats a head-in-the-sand approach
To not view china as a predator - perhaps in a 10 -20 -30 year time frame is to ignore the geopolitics of their history and their expansionary philiosphy over time
And for them to rely on the newspaper would be ridiculous notion.
I believe they over time have and are building a model of understanding the Aussie military mind. How they think and react and how this evolved over time
The REALLY big picture gets formed.
On the ground intelligence would be much preferred over reading the mass media of the country you are spyng on.
They would assume that the same filtering and control that controls what people read in China are at work in the Aussie press
