> Worried about a military build-up in the Pacific? Imagine how China feels
> By Stuart Rollo (a research associate at the Sydney Democracy Network at the University of Sydney)

> The matter of Chinese bases in the Pacific will almost certainly arise again, and the major reason will be the US-led strategic encirclement of China, in which Australia plays an important role...
> The reason China would have an interest in establishing a military base on a remote Pacific island, is that they themselves are surrounded by a dense and heavily armed archipelago of American military bases, 250 or so according to US Department of Defence statistics...
> Our own actions show we are only opposed to the militarisation of the region when it is done by the other side.
> The sense of danger that grips us when we are confronted with the possibility of one Chinese base on an island 2,000 kilometres away should give us pause to consider how China's sense of security is affected by a chain of hundreds of American bases stretching longitudinally along the Western Pacific.
> Australian leaders are right to oppose the construction of a Chinese military base in the South Pacific.
> But as long as we enthusiastically support, encourage, and participate in the much larger American military build-up in the region, rather than seeking to moderate and reduce regional tensions through our alliance, we should expect nothing else.
Wow. Just wow. How spectacularly braindead has Sydney University become?
Stuart Rollo is right, in that China feels insecure. But he's wrong in thinking China would abandon its military build-up if America retreated from the region. That is spectacularly insane, and is guaranteed 100% to wipe out democracy in Asia and Australia. Something is rotten in Sydney University.
