[quote=FRANKENSTEIN,275826]A news report published at the Financial Times on March 11 stated that China’s growing appetite for raw materials has posed a threat to the fighting power of Australian marine forces.

You might be confused by this news. The report originally came from a piece of news from The Austrian. On March 10, Aussie Minister of Defense Ministry said to the news agency The Australian that some newly-rising economic entities brought great profits to Aussie’s mining industries. Therefore, numerous servicemen in Aussie’s marine forces quit from marine forces and transfer to mining companies, which has hugh negative impact on the function of military operations. More unfortunately, the marine servicemen have the same skills that miners are required to grasp.

Initially, this is nothing wrong, but Financial Times reinterprete this piece of news by drawimg “China’s Charm” factor into this incident. FT claimed that a great numer of owners of Aussie mining are Chinese. Ausstralian marine forces are being dwarfed by Chinese marine forces because China has powerful marine forces equipped with advanced submarines.  FT said that Aussie have viewed China as a potential military rival who will disturb the balance of regional military powers.

What are your views on the incident?
