I see a clear correlation.
Regime change is forcing a government change outside the existing legal framework and procedure. Such as violent protest and crippling social order indefinitely until a political faction who is defeated in procedure grabbed power.
Nobody except western "democracies" have ever conducted regime change in non western countries.
Global Times is only asking the Australian population to ask questions before exercising their legal right within the Australian legal framework. Global Times is NOT asking Australians to indefinitely blocking the roads, burning, looting and attacking their parliament building until their favorite party replaces the incumbent prime minister who won the election.
On the other hand, the recent assault of capital hill in Washington DC bears all characteristics of regime change, except it is not incited by outside powers but by the expert and inventor of regime change, USA.
It's a regime change in the same sense that the US haves a regime change every 4 years.
Russia and China weren't always friends despite mutual concerns about western encroachment since the 1950s. U.S and UK weren't always friends despite shared anglo heritage. And if the power dynamic in the Pacific dramatically shifts in China's favor, Australia may start to think twice about their AUKUS alliance.
The quote about no permanent friends or enemies, only permanent interests is the closest thing we have to truism in geopolitics.
I disagree, there’s an incipient undercurrent of Anglo supremacism in all of the Five Eyes; anglos define themselves by their supremacism, without it they’re like the French, an upstart middling power.
Australia as a nation is, dare I say it “fake and gay” like Taiwan, an artificial state that grew as a convict outpost. You can see it from the way Australia sends its soldiers to die in whichever wars the sitting Anglo hegemon seems fit; you don’t see this behaviour in day the UK which famously didn’t send its boys to die in Vietnam
“The United States wants to confront China. The European Union wants to engage China,” Mr. Le Maire, a close ally of President Emmanuel Macron of France, said in a wide-ranging interview ahead of the meetings. This was natural, he added, because the United States is the world’s leading power and does not “want China to become in a few years or in a few decades the first superpower in the world.”
Has any EU official publicly stated why America was so adamant about confronting China like Le Maire did here or is this the first time?
That there my friend, you are thinking too “logical” and too "Wholehearted" of the Australian officials, so far based on all the moves from aussie, it seems they would rather sacrifice their own economy growth just for the pleasure of being a Ally of Merica, there is no such concept of power dynamic, only zero sum cold war game with ideology supreme, it is only GAPS for them, weapon gap, nuke gap, gdp gap and maybe even a mineshaft gap
