And would any European countries or Australia, India or the Philippians help? Would Russia pick a side or stay neutral?
Let's hope it never comes to this because if it does it's going to be a real mess. IMO
Sanae Takaichi said that if China used warships and force to blockade Taiwan, Japan could classify it as a "survival-threatening situation."

There are alliances yet to be tested, maybe alliances should thrive instead of torn from within. Curentlly , if i was the enemy i would feel real comfortable that what was once great alliances have been thrown completely under the bus!

China will soon test the water…they have already tested strategy, blockades are considered legal, as tested by other nations,
and…. Russia would jump in most likely N Korea

We are no longer in a world of rules, just who is the biggest thug🤔💵💵💵💵💵

The USA including USA policy is becoming increasingly irrelevant and this is just confirmation of the building shift that the USA including it's citizens are just unable to understand.

So, it is your opinion that Australia would not help in a war with China because US policy in becoming increasingly irrelevant?

Trump and the USA has recently not been acting in a manner that could be consider appropriate for an ally. It has instead been demonstrating increased adversarial behaviour. Trade and tariffs so the answer is yes. Australia needs to make a decision between it's historic defence partner or current trade partners. History changes and reviews occur.

There is no real intention on China's part to do so.

The USA has just proven that it, essentially, can't and Japan / Australia / Philippines are not going in without them.

So, by current trade partners you mean China? Think China would help defend Australia against the US in a hot war?
 

Japan Australia sign landmark frigate deal in major Indo Pacific defense shift. Designed for high end maritime operations, the Mogami class brings anti-submarine, anti-ship, and multi role capabilities, strengthening naval power projection in the Indo-Pacific. Overall, still leans on US Carriers and support but a really nice move. Japan-Australia-US alignment. Nice boost for Japan's economy.

With attitude changes occurring in Australia support for the USA may no longer be guaranteed. There is a possibility there may not be any Australian support.

Really? I see our government stupid enough to send half our navy in support to said conflict , losing that defence capability abroad and leaving us with bugger all to defend at home. In saying that we already have bugger all to use regardless.

Thanks for the unsolicited critique.
What makes anyone think the recent rules based order was working.
Nukes were proliferating, allies were letting their militaries atrophy into irrelevancy.
All while gutting their energy infrastructure and becoming completely depended on a supposed adversaries hydrocarbon imports.

This “erosion” or rules based order has seen the end of seventy years of adversarial relations between Israel and the gulf states.

The Gulf states throwing their lot in with the US and Israel to destroy Irans military and choke out their economy. Up to suffering random missile bombardment from Iran. All while continuing to advance diplomatic relations between Israel and gulf states.

And while I know non-Americans wont really appreciate this. We’ve seen the reversal of Chinese political, economic, and military inroads into Latin Americas.

That Chinese encroachment into Latin America was a product of this “rules based order” so if that is what we’re concerned about fading into irrelevancy.

So color me unimpressed.


As far as a war between China and AJSKT
It’s not going to happen. I’m not going to say it wouldn’t be bad, because of would. It would very likely go nuclear.

If the CCP leadership decides war is their only option. It will not have anything to do with foreign relations. It will be because they will be close to being deposed domestically. And that a war is only thing they can do to ward off losing power.

So if your worried about war in the pacific watch the CCP stability
