"China’s most audaciously located station — at the high point of Antarctica’s vast ice sheet at the heart of Australian Antarctic Territory — has seen 10 summers.

This is a decade marked by incredible expansion of Chinese activity. Yet this station, as well as one another Chinese base within Australia’s claim, have never been inspected.

Many are saying it’s time for a check-up."

We are surrounded, we know they want to be the global naval super power, they are building islands 3.5hrs from us, they control the port of Darwin, they are trying to muscle in on the port of Hobart, through a crazy immigration system its just a sea of Asians now in our cities buying all of our property resources everything, its an invasion from within.

There should be a thorough investigation into not just their sus bat virus.

My sentiments exactly although I would toss in a hypocritical and note they are all the same.

Some worse than others but basically all the same.

It's necessary when 96% of the media is a false and nasty narrative against him.

Yet another complicated territorial situation being 'watered' down by tabloid newspaper for the commoners to consume.  Lets begin...

1. The initial claim on these Antartica territory was by the United Kingdom in 1841, and later on transferred to Australia.   In 1961, the Antarctic treaty came into force through UN.  And article 4 specifically deal with territorial claims.

Article IV

    1. Nothing contained in the present treaty shall be interpreted as:

        (a) a renunciation by any Contracting Party of previously asserted rights of or claims to territorial sovereignty in Antarctica;

        (b) a renunciation or diminution by any Contracting Party of any basis of claim to territorial sovereignty in Antarctica which it may have whether as a result of its activities or those of its nationals in Antarctica, or otherwise;

        (c) prejudicing the position of any Contracting Party as regards its recognition or non-recognition of any other States right of or claim or basis of claim to territorial sovereignty in Antarctica.

    2. No acts or activities taking place while the present treaty is in force shall constitute a basis for asserting, supporting or denying a claim to territorial sovereignty in Antarctica or create any rights of sovereignty in Antarctica. No new claim, or enlargement of an existing claim, to territorial sovereignty in Antarctica shall be asserted while the present treaty is in force.

So in a nut shell, the article pretty much said you can claim your land, may be, but you cant prohibit others from claiming land.   As a result, only four countries in the world recognized Australia's claim in Antartica, and these are: New Zealand, United Kingdom, France and Norway.   The rest of the world does not.  So if you have any notion that the Chinese is building on 'our' land, then.. think again. 

Currently there are total of 8 stations in the Australian antarctic territory.  Australia has 3 stations (Mawson, Davis, Casey), Russia has 3 (Mirny, Vostok, progress station), Romania has 1, France/Italy has 1, and China 1 (Zhongshan).  So where is the outrage against Russia and Romania?

What a load of faux outrage.  Have you ever visited Antarctica?  No, I didn't think so.  Few Australians have.  I have.  Twice.   China is welcome to their base in the frozen continent.  They won't be attempting anything other than research.

As for China refusing to obey treaties.  Actually it does.  Even better than Australia.  The South China Sea is an effort to improve their defences against encroaching American forces.   The PRC has long standing, dating back to the days of the Chinese Empire of seeking to control events on it's periphery.  The Korean War was one aspect of that as was the Chinese border dispute with the fUSSR and invasion of Vietnam.  They don't like hostile forces on their borders.

The US Navy is an overly aggressive force.  It used to upset the fUSSR with numerous border incursions.  It still sails it's submarines into Russian waters.  It still carries out similar antics against the PRC.  The PRC has attempted to do something about that by building islands.  Get the US to behave and the PRC will behave.  QED.

Good one, so China goes against international laws to teach the US a lesson and your fine with that.

China can POQ out of Antarctica, they are not to be trusted.

Hey, you been everywhere man!
