Australia's behavior these days is hard to understand. It's poking China again and again and again - it just isn't stopping. First with Huawei, then with the whole "origins of coronavirus" thing, then AUKUS, then joining US for Taiwan, and in numerous other ways. What does Australia get out of all this? What's the benefit to ordinary Australians in making an enemy out of China? Tough to understand.
But one thing is more clear now than before - if Australia continues down this path for the next few/many years, the chances of it eventually being absorbed into the PRC as yet another SAR ["Australia Special Administrative Region" - ASAR] start to look non-zero. Does Australia want to become a SAR of China, like Taiwan looks set to become one day ["Taiwan Special Administrative Region" - TSAR]? Does the Australian government want to see future White Australians cleaning toilets of wealthy Chinese families? Does the Australian society want to see Australian women employed as maids and nannies in the homes and offices of affluent Chinese? Does the larger Western world want young Australian females selling themselves to rich Chinese men in bars and clubs?
Hard to understand why Australia is unnecessarily irritating China repeatedly.
