China are not going to war with anyone.
They have India to the west and they don’t like each other. They have Russia to the north. They have Japan and Korea to the east and they hate each other. And most of South East Asia to the south also hates them.
They have issues in Hong Kong. They cannot resolve Taiwan. Their own economy has massive challenges. They have spot fires everywhere due to ethnic diversity within China. They have an ageing population. And they are completely reliant on the rest of the world for food, energy and resources.
But apparently despite all this they are going to storm the beaches of Australia.
It is crazy talk.
Sounds exactly like you are describing the uk in the pre and post ww2 era
Also sounds like the sort of chaos that authoritarian regimes have historically used a foreign threat to unite their citizenry to distract from the fact that everything else is going to scomo.
