  • China is normalising its military presence in the Indo-Pacific Region

    What is “normalizing” supposed to mean within the context of a nation that borders this region and does immense amounts of naval trade through it?

    This is another example of China’s familiar tactic of salami slicing, seen also, for example, in its progressive attempts at dominating the South China Sea

    Again - the South China Sea - why do you think they call it that?

    Also, who has historically dominated the area? And why is this regional hegemon so incapable of playing nicely with it’s neighbors?



  • Over the pandemic, Australian Government gross debt increased from $534.4 billion in March 2019 to $885.5 billion in April 2022 and is now at the highest level relative to GDP (gross domestic product) since the 1950s when debt accrued during the Second World War was still on the Australian Government balance sheet

    Add to that, the economy is experiencing a prolonged “per capita recession” (where economic growth falls behind population growth, causing living standards to decline). A headline recession remains a rising risk as high interest rates, inflation, and a softening labor market squeeze households.
