The citizens of Australia have made no such choice.
Indeed, polls show Australians are against any conflict with China.
Less than three years ago, Australia’s prime minister said his country need not choose between the U.S. and China. Now, in striking a deal for nuclear submarines, Australia has done exactly that, making a huge bet on American primacy in the Pacific.
