Australia will die a long, lingering death

China will not do anything as dramatic as invade Australia but it will choke it by blocking the sea lanes and communication, according to Curtin University Professor Joe Siracusa. No one s going to invade Australia, no one s going to be coming through the Sydney head with combat troops all they re going to do is just choke Australia by blocking the sea lanes and communication, and Australia will die a long lingering death, he told Sky News. But if the Chinese think that we re gonna declare war over them about their approach or about what happens in Taiwan; we re literally assuring the Taiwanese of a conflict they cannot win.
