we are happy to give them away very cheap (our resources).
Australia is hard to invade but easy to blockade if you have a decent blue water navy to sink fuel and oil ships coming to Australia, which is why we need nuke powered subs. If we were blockaded fuel we could not fight after a few weeks. After a few months we would starve because we rely on road transport and food distribution hubs. Farmers rely on fuel too.
Nuke subs allow us to take the fight to the blockading navy as they cant blockade their fuel.
China has other options for resources closer (Russia) and further afield (Africa, South America) but Australia does it so efficiently and sells it so cheap with good quality we win the business.
