Keating is unarguably correct about Australia and China. As he says: Australia will equip itself with extravagantly expensive naval vessels to intercept shipping going to China from … Australia. China is not inclined to attack anyone. It expanded its domains by diplomacy not force of arms. The two times it tried foreign adventurism by attacking Vietnam and Japan was when it was controlled by the Mongols and then it came badly unstuck. As Keating says: the Chinese play a long game Taiwan will eventually be reunified probably more in form than substance.

As George Galloway commented regarding US politics…two cheeks on the same arse.
