Is anyone refusing to sell to china yet?



we are talking about invasion , not nuclear capaility or destructionof the country.....

The oil embargo on Japan was because they had already invaded Korea and China and were using chemical and biological weapons in China and also the little incident known as the Rape of Nanking.

The subs are nuclear powered, makes them hard to detect compared to a diesel boat. Conventional torps would do enough destruction to an oil rig, no one said they would resort to nuclear weapons on the forum. China has said in media reports in Chinese and Western media that they are not afraid to go pre emptive tacticla nuclear strike on any nuclear or non nuclear state if it would allow them the advantage and that their nuclear weapons are developed for an offensive not defensive reason.

No one has said that they would invade Australia, it is just a healthy debate with the what if possibilty thrown in. Also, Australian strategic planning has an attack from China in its plans, with and without the use of Chinese nuclear weapons on the Australian mainland. There is also plans based on Indonesia taking a shot.

Most play on the use of SF troops holding and defending key assets like oil rigs, gas platforms, water and energy utilities and also a flash assault on Canberra.

But in the end it is all scenario, as the ballistic missile capabilities of China, they could take out all of Australias major Cities and military installations using ballistic missiles with conventional warheads and still have plenty to spare. That in itself would cause so much hysteria to the average Joe Public, that most would be begging the govenrment to negotiate with the Chinese.

Lets all have a big group hug and learn to enjoy Chinese food voluntarily before it becomes compulsory!!
