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:

Can't see a nation which plays the long game being in too much of a hurry to make war. The last time China was fair dinkum foreign war like was under the rule of a Mongol conquerer Kublai Khan and that was ~740 years ago.
