When was this? I have an impression of something like this happening, but I don't know the story. Wasn't he also a visiting prof at Peking U or Tsinghua at one point (though I can't date it from google)? I also don't think he was as hawkish before as he is now, at least out in the open. I'm surprised he's not hiding it anymore.

Very true. Most of them don't know where Ukraine or Taiwan is on a map.
We can agree on that. I don't think the US cares about Australia's views. There is overall a severe lack of moderating voices around Washington, so I guess another one turning hostile doesn't move the needle. In the grand scheme of things, the US will only be subdued with hard power.
There is a severe lack of moderating voices because the US-China rivalry is structural. Its a you lose / I win scenario. US hegemony requires a weak China.
Even the moderating voices have realised this which is why they have shut up about this. They can complain all they want but they know that in the room where decisions are made, they are nothing
Dwight "DreamShake" Howard has decided to leave the NBA and sign on to Taiwanese basketball league
