Indeed, why would China bring a massive armada to conquer Australia, famously known for being checks notes over 2/3 worthless desert and what? 1k km away from literally everything else that matters?
Also based answer. Stupid reporter: "China is building ships is that not provocation?"
Gee moron what is the US doing then? Never mind everyone else or is China the only ones not allowed to have a military? He should have pointed out all the US bases around the pacific including the occupied Japan/Korean.
Both those countries have regular protests against these bases and yet having them against the will of the natives is not provocation lol.
Anyway Australia is shitty US vassal so none of this is surprising.
Since when is a desert useless? Just because we can’t build on it or grow food on it doesn’t mean it isn’t part of an ecosystem.
It’s not valueless in an environmental sense, just less great in terms of an imperial project. A large part of Australia is uninhabitable, and beyond various mines in the middle of nowhere, there’s not a lot to offer an invading nation.
Which loops back around to they would never, ever, invade Australia.
china already has a desert, why would they want a foreign desert too?
They do not have a desert anymore because they turned it into grassland
oh shit, then they are preparing to conquer australia. shit.
