Why is Australia obsessed with a war on China?

Australia's government has hinted an awful lot about a war with China - but experts point to a different motive behind their statements.

We Aussies want peace. Who owns our media? Our media are fueling the fire and they don't represent everyday Aussies, and our politicians, well I have no comment for our politicians.

Our defense minister said he wanted mutual respect between Australia and China, then the question is did our government give the Chinese the same respect? These politicians are full of shit man, they being poking the Chinese for the past 3 years non-stop and now they feel the pain, why should the people help them clean up the mass.

Some people need to grow a brain, and maybe fight the war themselves

Playing the victim card after intentionally spitting in your face.
Australia has the power to stop trading with any countries and any other countries including the US or New Zealand can fill the void if they want to.

1. Need to support big bro. 2. Need to have a good reason to.spend billions to buy weaponaries from big bro. 3. Nationalism is good for elections - want to be seen as standing up to evil china. 4. Some politicians are racist at heart.

It is true that it's irresponsible of the govt to advocate war. War in any context is a terrible thing. Lives on either side are precious and should not be used as collateral for political agenda of the few.

Let those who talk of war, conscript them and send them to the front.

Why Australia so excited to be flattened?

[lukehua]

military-industrial complex is interested in deep pocket. you will see billions spent on foreign weapons

Put the Aussie PM and all the ministers in the front line first. See if they like it when the bullets fly. Govt tends to create a distraction when it fails in governing the country just to stay in power

China is no longer buying Aboriginal Australia resources at asking price and Australian regime is not used to this treatment.

[hypocritehater]

Morrison looks a bit tipsy whenever he talks about China, don't drink too much wine though it's super cheap now

Australians are played by Americans, so you have to think just follow the orders.
