        Given the way the US is under Trump, the Chinese would be preferable.

        But if you’re one of these people who think the Chinese are gonna invade Australia at any moment (and - by extension - only the US can prevent this), stop drinking the kool-aid.

        China’s our biggest trading partner. We have a good thing, they have a good thing.

        The danger of a Chinese invasion of Australia is propaganda that major arms manufacturers/dealers (both in Australia, and in ‘our saviour’, the US) grow obscenely rich from.

        “Ooh, we have to be ready! The Chinese are likely to invade!”

        Yeah, and Iran’s been 2 years away from nukes for the last 46 years, the IDF is the ‘most moral army in the world’, and the US is a shining beacon of freedom and liberty.

          because everything you said is a joke, I’ll respond only with memes.

              I’m not the one gurgling on Chinese scrotums trying to sell them as apple pie.

              as bad as the US is, we haven’t enslaved millions of people based entirely on their culture yet. we haven’t been performing mass organ farming on the unrepresented. we haven’t instituted a social score that can abandon you from any support structures.

              keep suckin’, they haven’t come yet and good luck with that.
