    In the event of an all-out economic war between the USA & China
    we may be forced to be the 51st State of the USA, IMO, because
    such comprehensive economic sanctions on China and our current
    "we too Uncle Sam" policies would simply bankrupt Aus within 2 years.
    (over 30% of our trade is China dependant and RW advocates on these
    threads have knocked any suggestion of diversifying trade away from
    China by Aus downstream processing our minerals)

    RW Pro-US advocates on these threads may be inadvertently preparing
    themselves for "Yankeeification," IMO, by a pathological obsession with everything USA.

    Here is an interesting link to an article on the topic:
