We all love to watch the ebbs and flows of a footy match. That’s fun. Watching the twists and turns of an election ain’t.
If Trump wins, then maybe it might be time for Australia to put a bit of distance between it and Trump on China. There was an article in The Age by a former diplomat (maybe Ambassador?) to China who thinks we should have been far more agile in our relationship with China and we should have been attempting engagement rather than containment. The problem is that Trump won’t do us any favours just because we’re an ally. And China is only going to grow stronger in Asia.
