British” Financial Times “article title: Australian-US security agreement is not without risk

Author: Jeff – Dell

1942, the Japanese Air Force in Darwin, also dropped more than a bomb Pearl Harbor bombing, resulting in Australia into a staunch U.S. ally. 17, U.S. President Barack Obama visited this northern city in Australia to rebuild a new era of US-Australia alliance.

about the number of U.S. Marines stationed in Darwin may be small, but its strategic significance is no trivial matter. Commenced in the United States on the future of Asia and more intense geopolitical contest, the United States and Australia signed a security agreement is an enhanced version of a very important episode.

the past 30 years, Australia, to some extent early warning of the rise of China. To understand the global impact of China, from Australia to start with is a good start.

in some far-sighted diplomat reminded, Australia became the first to realize the potential of China’s economy one of the countries. In 1985, the then Australian Prime Minister Bob Hawke invited Chinese leaders to a private visit to the remote areas of Western Australia, with rich iron ore reserves in the Pilbara region. Since then, more and more clay rich in iron ore are shipped to China Tempered steel, for its magnificent urbanization.

Australian think tanks and universities, there are many English-speaking world in the best China watchers. Rudd was the first Western country to speak Chinese Prime Minister (Kevin Rudd currently holds Australian Foreign Minister).

given China its economic importance of the outside world would have thought that Australia would adjust its most difficult period in World War II forged close ties with the United States, turned to China’s embrace. Former Australian Ambassador to China Geoff Raby has jokingly said: “Other countries can not be closer to China than we, but we can.”

When Obama’s visit to Australia, the U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is visiting the Philippines . China more and more disturbed watching every move of the Philippines is the Philippines celebrated the 60th anniversary of the United States signed a security agreement activities. And Hillary agreed to the Philippines a new warship.

Australia and other Asia-Pacific countries to consider is that they can continue walking on two legs — freedom and side of the booming trade with China, on the other side to continue to benefit from the protective umbrella provided by the United States. These countries hope that, as they more clearly show solidarity, coupled with the United States to start in the Asia-Pacific regional affairs, China’s instinct that the more destructive side can be checked, Asia will be the rapid and sustained prosperity.

but all of these assumptions are built in the United States in a geopolitical contest between the will to upgrade the premises. Wait Australia may also include some of the much more painful choices — For example, suppose the South China Sea between China and the U.S. warships occurred in a skirmish, then upgrade. As the U.S. troops stationed on its territory, Australia may find themselves dragged into the country and its security conflict between the major markets.

Australia may find that he has created a geopolitical precedent — it will be caught in today’s two major powers among the first countries.
