“The tragedy of modern war is that the young men die fighting each other - instead of their real enemies back home in the capitals.”

If China wanted a war with Australia, Australia's best bet would be total capitulation, and nobody in his right mind would blame it: because Australia could be dispatched like a rock in a bucket of water. But China has no such intention because 1) China is a reasonable and humane country with an operating rule of law- unlike the West's patchy approach, and 2) because there would be nothing to gain but world war, and China's operating principle is lasting peace and prosperity for all, not just a self-limiting run at it for the military industrial complex - and hangers-on.
