Looks like the US want to take the Chinese down or steal there 3 trillion dollars,
THE US will have a permanent new military presence in Australia by rotating marines through a base in Darwin, US President Barack Obama is set to announce.
Mr Obama will make the announcement with Prime Minister Julia Gillard when they visit Darwin next Thursday during his first visit to Australia as President, the Sydney Morning Herald reports.
"This is all about the rise of China, the modernisation of the People's Liberation Army and, particularly, it's about the increased vulnerability of US forces in Japan and Guam to the new generation of Chinese missiles," Alan Dupont, the Michael Hintze professor of international security at Sydney University, told the newspaper.
"The new Chinese missiles could threaten them in a way they've never been able to before, so the US is starting to reposition them to make them less vulnerable.
"Australia's 'tyranny of distance' is now a distinct strategic advantage."
