I have a Chinese background and i don't think we should kowtow to China either. We should be focusing on diversifying our trade relations with multiple different countries and stop trying to act like a big dog when we don't have the ability to back it up. It's the same as like the Bulldogs talking shit about the Storm or the Panthers at the moment we just look utterly foolish.
We shouldn't bend our knee to any superpower, we should be playing them the same way Singapore, Philippines and all smaller nations do. Go between both America and China and extract maximum benefit from both. Right now we are basically America's lapdog with nothing to show for it. I would be all of being America's puppy if they gave us a shitload of money, but instead they've happily taken our trade away and basically said good work Australia for standing up but also thanks for the free money
