I don't think America are too bad. We are not Iraq. If they have wronged us it is by looking after their own interests more than expected, but not without making it up.

I can't see Austrailia siding with the Chinese and not American, when Austrailia is the son of the UK.
Nuff said.
A lot has changed since 1788 lol.
British culture and Australian culture and societies are quite different nowadays.

We need to cut ties with the United States. We cant afford to risk our economy. We cant afford to risk the safety of our population. America has no need to have military in Australia. China is our friend.
I saw the thread title and immediately thought,"Where is Germanicus?"
Why not leave it to a vote? Just put down your didgeridoo's, your lager's, quit skinning the crocodile's and vote.
Do you kick out America? China? Both?
Or embrace one or the other?
(Note; I kid about the Aussies, just kidding)

I saw mention of American Imperialism.... huh. I always thought Australia and America were FRIENDS, based on similar histories and interests and actual respect and genuine friendship with each other, person to person! Australians in general are always popular in America. China is a rather racist nation that looks down on others and will love to USE Australia so long as it is in its political interests but tell me..... who is China actually friends with? Can you name a country? Or just mutual use?
The American People and Australian People have affection for each other above and beyond politics. We have fought side by side many a time. It's not Imperialism, its friendship across the ocean. China tends to look after itself and strong arm others, Not that American politics hasn't done the same, but when has China fought to free other countries rather than conquer them? Ask ANY of China's neighbors what they think of China!edit on 25-5-2012 by jaxnmarko because: (no reason given)edit on 25-5-2012 by jaxnmarko because: paragraphing

The OP is a false duality.
There are at least three choices.
There are no differences between the first two.
Choose neither. Choose neutrality. Choose liberty. Choose freedom. Choose New Zealand. Choose to feed and clothe Australians. Choose to use your defense force for defense. Choose local not global. Choose to leave the WTO. Choose to print lawful money.
Choose love. Choose life.edit on 25-5-2012 by trouble_every_day because: (no reason given)
