Let's look at this scenario.
An American earns $100k and puts it in a backpack, walks up to President and shakes their hand and says, "hey through hard work I earned 100k."
Result: He gets tackled to the ground by the secret service, beaten and put in a cell and his 100k gets civilly forfeited to the FBI.
An Australian earns $100k and puts it in a backpack, walks up to Prime Minister and shakes their hand and says, "hey through hard work I earned 100k."
Result: The PM says, that's great mate - shakes the man's hand and let's him have a photo op and then both go about their day.
THEN: The American starts lecturing the Australian about freedom.

While China may see Australia and Canada as useful for natural resources, and some geopolitical advantages with Australia, they have the US in their gunsights. They are trying to peel off staunch allies and isolate the US. At least that is my guess.
Huh, aren't those war game outcomes classified and aren't whatever results that do get leaked usually a cry for (yet) more tax money?Tarkan wrote: BTW, in every wargame the Pentagon has run on a Chinese-US war over Tawain, the US has gotten it's ass kicked.

I'd wager a contested amphibious landing is even less fun now than it was back in WW2. Doubt PRC will enjoy the benefits of uncontested air support, a sympathetic local population and being allied either directly or indirectly with the whole of the continent.
