Are these 2 countries as dangerous as each other ?

I believe they are.

Both authoritarian regimes are in expansionist mode. And both are more or less ready to test their armaments on the rest of the world.

In China's case...they have economic leverage as they provide Australia (and so much of the world) with a serious amount of textiles and manufactured goods.

Where does that leave Australia? Remember, we hardly produce much nowadays.

Given how brazen Russia is atm it would not surprise me if it's due to a quiet negotiation with China re an alliance of sorts. They have lots in common (authoritarian regimes, expanding their borders, building up their army/armaments etc) so these commonalities could well be a basis for unifying against NATO ie the US.

What are your thoughts on these 2 countries?

Are they both as dangerous (to Australia) as each other ?

What if that happens after they unite and cause Hell on Earth first?

China will give Russia televisions and Russia will give the Chinese eyes of blue.

Frankly, Russia showing off its nuclear arsenal is insanity and an instant reversion to The Cold War... if they were so stupid as to do that they would unleash chaos on the entire human race, and they know that.  Read an article last night that said Putin is aspergic, which is why he  carries on like a brass razoo and struts the world stage as a conqueror.  Crazy is the word

Obviously both China and Russia have an interest in the resource-rich 'buffer states' between them - I communicate with a lady in Kazakhstan, noted for its mineral and oil wealth yet a poor country - clearly if Russia is intent on restoring its Empire, Kazakhstan is directly in the firing line, and since it borders Kyrgistan - that autonomous province of China LMAO - clearly this is a flashpoint between these two vulture nations.

I predict interesting times ahead..... and all because of the megalomania of two men ......so like Hitler and his minions it isn't funny.

What's wrong with trading fairly with other nations?  Amazing that both China and Russia so publicly loathe 'colonialism' - yet are more intent on it than any other nation....  YTF does Putin want to fight with Ukraine when trade is far better and more lucrative?  Why doesn't CCP accommodate with Taiwan when trade is so much easier and less costly and more beneficial?

Aside:- Perhaps both these countries feel that Old White Joe in the White House is too weak, the US and Britain etc are too widespread in their military commitments, and their countries are too 'decadent' and 'weak' and 'exhausted by the War On Terror' - to want to fight over foreign lands...... to make that mistake they forget that the West sees clearly that when one piece of Europe falls into the sea - all are the less..... always has... always will ................... and that when you allow a dictator to conquer/grab without opposition, he/she will not be satisfied but will view that as a springboard to further conquest...

The British penal colony Australia, given its size, will be divided into two parts after the liberation from the British occupation and the re-education of the yobbo population. Half goes to Russia, half to China.
However, given Russia's well known generosity, everything will be given to China.

Morrison is secretly hoping for a war to serve as a distraction for his incompetence. Meetings of cabinet committees, imposing sanctions and other measures, a lot of strutting in the media, how good are we. However, doing what's obvious isn't difficult.
