“China has not been angered as its response is measured on US to post some 2500 marines in North Australia by 2016-17.”
I mean, Australia, as we know, is a western entity except that it is a next door neighbour of Asia. The combination of the east and the west creates a unique opportunity for it to serve as a bridge between these civilisations and becoming an important player for peace in the world. If they can reconstruct the desire, they can still recover the loss.
For now, at least, I want to remind Australia of the New Zealand factor. For one, and as against Australia, it never allowed any nuclear naval ship to enter into its water. This would have to change if the US enters this region.
