Is Australia within China's sphere of influence? Is it now a Chinese satellite state?

Someone has to pay for Centrelink. The alternative is the end of the Entitlement Era.

No, it isn't. Many said the same in WWII but with Japan. Maybe China has similar ambitions today as Imperial Japan had 75 years ago however Australia is part of a company of nations in the Anglosphere along with the UK, New Zealand, and Canada. We will always stick up for each other's interests and defend each other as we share the same head of state, are the same people, speak the same language, have the same common law and culture and similar economies and outlooks. Canzuk is coming. The pride of Lions will roar again.

No way. Australia is a continent. They speak English and once were part of the greatest empire in history. China is a struggling nation lacking traditional ties with the Western powers.

Yes it is. Get the Aussies to the Falklands

I'm going to assume that no. I am still young and ignorant of most things but hopefully not.
