As it happens, Australia are working closely with China now, mostly tradewise, according to news reports. China is reported as Australia's biggest trading partner, a big + for Australia's great mineral resources, metals etc. Rio Tinto alone sends I train every hour from its source sites, each train I mile long it is said. Very good business, particularly as within a few years China will have the most wealthy middle class in the world. Australia's geographical position make this very good for them. Their Prime Minister lived in China, speaks perfect Mandarin and gives the impression of being very pro-China, although that has not prevented him speaking up re human rights. Interesting development, very good financial result for Australia. The world order is changing.
