Australia was isolated in the Pacific Ocean. The Australian Government and the majority of public opinion in the country put the national interests and the national security ahead of human life and it shows that by the asylum seekers and refugees (please read the analysis entitled “What Does the Term “National Security” Mean?“).
It is certain that China has reached unprecedented levels of penetration in the world economy like no other country in history. Chinese interests could be lost without military support. The Cargo ships full of Chinese products constantly unload containers in all ports of the world. China ‘s diplomatic missions are trying their best to create investment opportunities, jobs, supplies, etc. They advocate the host countries with infrastructure and development projects.
Chinese diplomats closely monitor their Taiwanese counterparts in any country that recognizes Taiwan either as diplomats or as Taiwanese cultural or/and commercial delegations which act as disguised diplomatic missions. In 2019, the Taiwan was forced to leave the Solomon Islands.
China wants to turn Daru Island into a development hub. This island is located on the southern tip of Papua New Guinea, with a few kilometers away from the islands of Australia near Tores Strait. And only from this fact to protect itself, Australia had to join the AUKUS alliance.
China is dominated by concern for two reasons that both are of internal nature, but with significant expansions in the international community :
- The continuous and uninterrupted provision of raw materials and resources of various kinds in order to achieve the seamless continuity for the survival and development of its population.
- The preservation and completion of National Unity. The southern lands of Macau and Hong – Kong incorporated in China.
The Nationalist Party of China after the victory of the Communist Party ( 1949 ) in Chinese civil War fled to Taiwan and remains firmly opposed to reunification with China.
But China should resolve many problems to be understood and to be respected without being feared by the international community. solving problems such as democratization,* respect of Human Rights, freedom of speech, the existence of free elections with the participation of many parties will be in the right direction.
At the same time, however, there must be barriers to the ruthless and morally reprehensible approach of Chinese businessmen and China’s state diplomatic apparatus to their support for China’s continued economic expansion, using individual and political corruption as its main means.
Many of China’s neighbors in the Pacific Ocean suspect that it is likely to use military force there if it deems it necessary. Countries like Vietnam, Philippines and Taiwan notice the growing challenge to their sovereignty rights over a number of China-occupied sea zones and islands.
In the event that China engages in naval and military operations of an orderly nature, Australia and other Pacific countries do not have a significant or credible ally in Southeast Asia or the Pacific to help keep their sea commercial lanes open with the rest of the world.
That is why all the countries of the Pacific Ocean welcomed the appearance of the AUKUS Alliance with relief.
