If China owns a sea so does Aust.
China is weakening its claims.
Nah.
Look at our history......
'The more things change, the more they stay the same.'Men continue to do,
exactly what they have always done,
since the time of Cain.
So that.....'the strong man' owns everything.
And the dead man and the serf, owns, not a thing.

QUESTION;What should we [Australians] do ?
What beneficial 'influences' should we seek ?
Psalms 119:1
Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the LORD.
2 Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart.

Today, .....we are all watching, before our eyes,
1st world nations [e.g. nations like Australia], morphing into 3rd world nations.
It is the culture.We choose it, and we are choosing it [......foolishness].
KJV
"And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind: for the LORD searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of the thoughts:
if thou seek him, he will be found of thee;
but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off for ever."
