Australia increased its defense budget, and the CCP turned up the volume on supposedly racist Australian attacks or sent warships near Australia. So it seems like Australia was no worse for the wear.īut this started a tit for tat between the two powers. Australia sold elsewhere, while Chinese cities suffered fuel shortages. CCP spokesmen became more belligerent and Beijing instituted a series of tariffs against Australian products, including coal, beef, barely, wine, cotton, and lobster. A combination of Chinese interference in Australian elections, the latter’s support for democracy activists in Hong Kong, and Australia calling for an independent investigation into the origins of COVID-19 (and the implied allegation of the Wuhan lab leak theory) led to Chinese retaliation. This behavior is just the latest in a long line of abuses and aggression that has pushed Australia into the arms of the United States. The latest news is that Chinese media Global Times called Australia “cannon fodder” for the United States. The best example of the Chinese version of this trend is Australia. But many people don’t realize how the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) aggressive rhetoric and behavior can hurt China and help the United states.
