Yes agreed Kim .. together with religion, the superficial cause for regional squabbles.

Yes, I fully expect this would also be the response of the current government. But one
also expects they will be gone soonish. Who knows? This is a medium-term suggestion.

After centuries of Chinese land / resources management, apparently, they do need new
lands, free of toxin, etc.  Not so different from many areas of the world. And, apparently,
with proper management of our supposed desert areas, together with sufficient top-end
wet-season water (and geothermal-power desal-plants) Aussie deserts can be productive
and indeed flourish with care. It would be a new start for the smart and talented Chinese.

It certainly sounds like a win / win to me 😊
