Media hype of war with China forgets the impact on Australian societyYun JiangGuardian Australia0

This type of commentary and analysis inflates the role Australia plays in deterring China while underselling the roles other countries in the region play. [...] In much of the media reporting in Australia, the world comprises only three countries – China, Australia and the US – fighting over Taiwan. [...] Yet, the considerations of other countries in the region are absent. [...] The interests of the US are taken to be exactly the same as the interests of Australia. [...] Whenever the US goes to war, so must we, no matter the circumstances or the costs.
