The Australian government has today celebrated the first day of their withdrawal from an 8 year losing conflict in Afghanistan by immediately trying to pick a fight with an even more powerful adversary known for its ability to build entire cities in a week.

“Yes we may have failed to win a war with a ramshackle government in the middle east despite the support of the world’s largest military, but I’m sure taking on China would be a walk in the park,” declared Peter Dutton today before breaking down in tears over some mean tweets. “Just because we lost the Korean War, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Gallipoli, and that war against a bunch of flightless birds, doesn’t mean it won’t be eighth time lucky.”

However, some Australians have held out some reservations, expressing war with China might not be the smartest geopolitical move. “Fucking what!?!” said one impartial observer. “Yea sure, we can’t even build a fucking submarine or a helicopter than can fly at night but lets pick a fight with the world’s largest standing army and a cyber army that could cripple our power network in two minutes. I’m sure that’ll go really well for a country that can’t even roll out cable internet without fucking it up.”

“If anybody wants me I’m taking an indefinite holiday in New Zealand.”
If Australia pushes for a war with China, I'd be okay with China militarily taking over the country. I know an Asian woman where men who don't know her enough bend over backward for her to where she's conceited and spoiled to the point where she makes decisions that requires a lot responsibility but she thinks someone will work and help her for free so it's not a problem. She takes advantage of guys that have an interest in her but she has no interest in them. Australia has become like Taiwan when Chen Shui-Bian was in charge and he felt spoiled enough with US protection that he would taunt China to the point that the US openly told him to shut up because he was driving China and the US into a confrontation.

Sell it as Premium Anglo Cow Dung. They'll love it.
You misunderstood their mindset. It's Indian produce and practices that are the best and most renown in the world. If anything the western world should be the ones following their lead. This is also a good opportunity to sell off the Confucius institutes and turn them into Modi BJP covid care centres.

The European Union and India have agreed to resume long-stalled talks on a free trade deal in an effort to strengthen their economic cooperation in the face of an increasingly assertive China.
Man, China has just started moving up the value chain and the whole West is in panik. Maybe Xi should give them some meds to calm down?

And why is India talking about China when their citizens are dying by the thousands due to Modi's incompetence?
