well, if you ask me, in my part of the world, china is a very respectable and likable country which doesn't 'scratch' anybody's back unless one 'scratches' hers. we, in general, in our part of the world see china as a peace-loving nation which doesn't run around invading countries...we trust china like we trus a good neighbor

if the US has given them lines that they must not cross and they do cross those lines and nothing happens China will just keep pushing . The new US base in Australia is a message to them . It is a big thing to have a "yank " base .NZ could not get them here quick enough in 42 .

when the "anti US" left in NZ wrecked the ANZUS treaty in 1985 it has made us very vulnerable to China . All our leaders are blind to the risk . History repeats again and again . In 1938 a defence white paper for the NZ govt said we had no enemys . Within a year we were at war with Germany . And as for now , here we go again I fell .

Foxxie: other as any other two dominions, and had all been self ruled with their own governments and governors with only the privy council above them. Had WA or Tas also pulled out at that point in time then they also would be considered nations today regardless of what a certain neighbours constitution stated.

well, china certainly has her own share of geo-political interests just like any other country in the world but one thing, for sure, is that china doesn't lecture about human rights, democracy, freedom and liberty and then does exactly opposit of her lecture like the west always does. China doesn't kill people in the name of upholding human rights, democracy, freedom and liberty. China is not a hypocrit nation like those countries..ummm..you know....
yea I'll give you that mnowsa , China is no hypocrite . Step out of line and you are wacked , end of story . What would it be like if they were not like that no one knows . So long as they do it at home its no one else's business . Try it somewhere else and the ww111 will be an option .
no China killed monks and nuns in the thousands, runs forced labor camps, has no judiciary, summary shoots more of its own citizens than any other country anywhere on the glob, supports knocking off democratic process, refuses to support human rights, supported pal-pot and north korea to stave its people, you got to have you head well and turely berried in the sand
The PNAC/Tri-lateral strategy for world dominance has always been to progressively isolate and China, especially from energy sources. That was to be the way to get wealth back from China, by cutting her off (and everybody else too) from all sources of oil except through the US.
That's the reason the US occupied Iraq and Afghanistan. Iraq to prevent China from buying Iraqi oil and Afghanistan to build a pipeline from the Caspian Sea to the Indian Ocean in order to sell oil to China.
That's the reason the US provoked the breakup of Yugoslavia too. Kosovo is the gateway for Asian oil to enter Europe, and now it's a US protectorate.
The Global warming scam was also part of the sameproject. Trying to force developing countries to not develop their oil resources.
Iran was always the Achilles heel. It was Iran that set up the first oil market that traded in Euros and other currencies and not just in dollars. That's what really precipitated the collapse of the dollar. The housing bubble collapse was just the first visible manifestation. Once countries didn't need dollars to procure oil the dollar was doomed due to its debt and inflation.
It shouldn't take a nuclear war for China to be able to dissuade the West from attacking Iran. All China has to do is reduce its purchase of US T-bills and the effect would be greater than a nuclear bomb.
The US strategy of trying to pressure China to go along with the attack on Iran was wishful thinking. It's typical of the west to grossly underestimate the mental acuity of the Chinese.
