However, Song Xiaojun, a prominent Chinese Defence strategist and former
People’s Liberation Army officer, told the Sydney Morning Herald that
Australia could not juggle its friendships with China and the United States
indefinitely, and needed to pick its side.
“Australia has to find a godfather sooner or later,” said Mr Song. “[It]
depends on who is more powerful and based on the strategic environment.”
Roughly a quarter of all Australian exports are sent to China.
The first batch of 2,500 US Marines to be deployed in Australia arrived in the
northern city of Darwin in April, as the US seeks to bolster its presence in
the Asia-Pacific region.
America is also building closer ties with several South East Asian countries,
a strategy that has prompted a sharp response, and accusations of
“encirclement” from China.
While the number of US Marines on Australian soil is relatively modest,
Australia has suggested it may also allow the US to run long-distance drone
missions from its territory and that aircraft carriers and nuclear-powered
submarines may be stationed in the western city of Perth.
China criticised the new base when it was first announced by Barack Obama and
Julia Gillard last November. “It may not be quite appropriate to
intensify and expand military alliances and may not be in the interest of
countries within this region,” said Liu Weimin, a Foreign Ministry
spokesman, adding that it was the US, not China, that was seeking to use
military power to influence events in Asia.
The Global Times, a nationalist state-run newspaper, warned Australia in an
editorial that it should not allow the US to “harm China” and that
it risked getting “caught in the cross fire” between the two superpowers.
