They say English is a difficult language to learn.
Apparently Chinese, is much harder.
Zheng He, the 15th Century Chinese explorer, discovered most of the New World, before earthquakes or something at China central, was taken as a bad omen and they stopped exploring and closed themselves off from the rest of the World. (hey, that's from memory okay

).
So in their minds, most of the World is "theirs" by the old "we got there first" thingo.
Australia's included in that, using the same "Nobody's Land" BS that the English originally used.
Why do you think Albo said "No thanks" to holding China's hand? (could be a bit of political poison there too though, with elections around the corner).
The way things were going, I reckon OZ, would have been annexed by China, within the next 10 to 20 years (could still happen).
Maybe you're cool with something like that, I don't know..
