Kate, having a close look at the various Chinese “Belt and Road Initiatives” amonst the
countries between Australis and China reveals a chain of ports and roads etc that form
almost a chain-link. Just ripe for transporting troops and equipment. I’ve been looking
at this happening for years.

And anyway, one medium Chinese cargo ship loaded with just a few thousand troops
would be plenty to take Darwin, and in just one day.

It would take weeks for us to respond .. plenty of time, with commandeered vehicles,
to take and hold probably every town between Darwin and Perth.

Maybe so Kate, but they haven’t yet, apparently? And zero report of any attempt.

Yes, one would agree Kate. In every respect.

However, in view of apparent facts, many would assert China’s problem *really* matters to us.

Cheers,
Stephen
