  1. Don't get to upset peeps all that cheap crap we buy from Temu and Shein paid for those ships. Look at it as after sales service, "Hey Aussie we love our brand new ships!" just showing them off.

  2. You have a Bachelor’s degree from Beijing University …. I have a Bachelor’s degree from UCLA ?? I have 10 years work experience … you haven’t worked single day relies on daddy money. I can confidently say AMERICA🇺🇸 will defeat CHINA🇨🇳 during any confrontation over TAIWAN🇹🇼…the last time China 🇨🇳 had major win 🥇(1979) over Vietnam?? Seriously in life I don’t think 🤔 I could have started my own Engineering Company unless I had 10years experience in data storage. You can give the same tools ⚒️ too 2 teams one with experience two without experience and get vastly different results!! 🇨🇳??????

  3. They are building their 4th and 5th aircraft carriers, nuclear-powered and electromagnetic-catapulted. These will carry their 5th-gen stealth fighter jets J-35A. They are apparently taking a lesson from the US.

  4. I think Albo’s response is proportional. It admits the exercise doesn’t offend international law and also raise concerns about how to handle the situation with China in future.

  5. Unlike European Union nations who are passionate with its own identities, China has no such diversity because it had brushed-ink on rice paper as monopoly for over 700 years and is in orders of magnitude greater than parchment or papyrus of diverse tribal nations. In contrast, America’s history begun with the Declaration of Independence in 1776, spans barely two and a half centuries—making it an infant compared to civilizations with millennia of recorded history. Likewise, Australia’s recorded history on paper began in 1788 with the arrival of the first European settlers, spanning just over two centuries only.

    Furthermore and of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council (who represent the great powers), only one has not fought a war in forty years; China. Chinese belief that the use of military force as a first option is unwise. In contrast, America has fought a war or been involved in military actions every year.

    Had RAAF provoked and jeopardise their own lives, weaken Aussie Dollar and Economy, triggered retaliation from the most significant consumer of Aussie exports? Safeguard them boys and bring them home to patrol Aussie costal lines instead. Australia has no sovereignty in the South CHINA Sea, so what were Aussies doing there? Australian journalism and News anchoring needs to take on legal accountability for its misrepresentation, falsehood and manipulation.

  6. We DO NOT have a leader here in Australia, but we have a puppet to the elites…. and just a duplicate of what the US had with the corrupt Biden and democRAT admin.

  7. Something not adding up here * on 20/2 while warships were close to Sydney Mr Marles said Australia was “keeping close watch” on the Chinese and would continue to monitor them while their boats were in the region.
    Yet, days later (many days and while still in our region and this apparent ‘close eye’ was on the ships from both Australian sea and air patrols) somehow its a civilian aircraft whom notices the live fire drills and 90mins later defence finds out? Get it right Australia (the PM is not a military scapegoat) & the Australian people deserve a whole lot better
    It is ww111 your playing fire with so stop the inconsistent lies

  8. The* Chinese do have a large army but it has been said they are inexperienced, this is proven by their circumnavigation of Australia, because if you ask any sailor they’re going in the wrong direction around the country

  9. who has China invaded or gone to war with over the past 10 – 20 – 30 years? Now lets compare that to the USA & its allies shall we. Meanwhile the US has repeatedly said they will go to war with China, and Australia are the USA's most loyal puppies and do whatever the USA says and will join them in another of Americas wars. China knows Aust has extended runways in NT to support larger US military aircraft

  10. When scores of western military ships hang around China's backyard, China acted blasé only. But only three Chinese military ships outside of Australian waters and the Aussies are like a cat on a hot tin roof! All tie-up in knots! WTF!
