@moondoong; not even Australia or the USA abides by international law so you can;t have that both ways.
It only takes one look at what 'international law' did to territorial boundaries after WW1 and WW2 to understand why China is in dispute with Japan, India, Taiwan, Hong Kong and even Russia.
Let's not forget that Trump now acts unilaterally and tears up international agreements and contracts as suits his mood swing while Morrison says, MeToo!
The lesson for Australia is to look after our neighbours PROPERLY, restoring overseas aid the Coalition has cut to ribbons and as well restoring the role and influence the ABC used to have throughout China and beyond - one terminated by Tony Abbott!
