Nonsense.

It was latter weaseling due to ChiCom influence, attempts to placate the communist regime.

Attempting to show strength, the Chinese show 2 things:

1. Weakness. 1 Frigate, 1 Supply ship and 1 Amphib ship.
———That is a great way to project force /sarc
———No air defense of any range and easy kills of the Chinese marines on that amphib ship.

2. China’s lack of logistic chain in its own backyard. They are beginning to put together a blue water navy but have few allies that would give them harbor in time of war.

I don’t think Australian policy makers are oblivious. During WWII, the only thing that stood between Australia and prefectural status in the Japanese empire was the USN. If China pushes Uncle Sam out of the Western Pacific, Australia’s days as an independent country are numbered.

No, it’s not nonsense.

Read the treaty. It’s not long and it’s not complicated (unlike some).
