Not really unusual as my relatives including myself have experienced these kind of racist behavior not only in Australia. Also quite common in US and UK. All you have to do is look East Asian. I was also to fend off my attacker as I am a younger male but my other relatives in separate incidents was not as lucky.

Funny thing where I live, there is a local Mall in which last year an entire South Korean family of four were gunned down by a mad man MAGA hat style due probably to being misidentified as Chinese.... very much like the movie scene of Civil War etc

IDK for China, TELs are extremely survivable due to the terrain. Mountain, jungle, urban region, etc. Even rural road tunnels.

And unlike the sea which has to be actively defended, the land defends itself with cover and simply by being populated. A SSBN can get torpedoed even in the middle of a bastion because the ocean doesn't have any passive surveillance like the land does.

It's the same reason why land based SAMs are so deadly with just a battery of 12 missiles while ships have to have a battery of 100+ missiles and still get sunk or forced to retreat. Cover, concealment, passive surveillance from forward spotters, etc make a huge difference.

For China though, launching land based ICBMs to strike the US would mean long flight times giving the US more time to detect and intercept, compared to if launched from sea at a much closer distance from continental US.

There was a Korean-American journalist on CNN if I recall correctly who encountered some racism over COVID-19 and she on air said that she's not even Chinese meaning if it was aimed at someone Chinese, it was legitimate to her. A while ago there was a bar fight incident in Sacramento California involving one of the soldiers who thwarted a terrorist attack on a French train. He was attacked by Vietnamese for a defending a Vietnamese woman being "abused" in public. When it was found out this soldier was who he is, the Vietnamese community in Sacramento tried to pin it on Chinese. So other Asian ethnicities have no problem blaming something on other Asian ethnicities despite it spurring racism on Asians in general.

If that is the price to be paid, then better let the Philippines have their islands, at least for now. Then retake them after 2050 when China's position as the most powerful country has been cemented.

That's what Qing thought, look how it went. The reality is giving in one demand would result in more demands coming. If US insist on escalate, there is no stopping them. Best you can do is make sure they do not come out on top after escalation. As far as we know, China has the upper hand around the area, the win is just not going to be pretty. If US want to fuck around and fine out they can try!
