China's Beidou system provided it with free navigation services, so that their fishermen and farmers saved a lot of things, as a result? The gang used this advantage, while doing small moves behind the back, espionage, military provocation, nothing less. than when Vietnam took aid from the Soviet Union, Australia's operation is more cold. Vietnam has a little history complaint, this side? is simply eating in the bowl and looking at the pot, strategically holding the American thigh, and economically unable to open up the Chinese market.
Let's talk about the Beidou system first. China has been engaged in this satellite navigation project since the 1990s, and officially completed the global networking on June 23, 2020. At that time, a total of 55 satellites of the Beidou-3 system were launched, providing positioning, navigation and timing services with accuracy as high as centimeters. The key is that the China government has made it clear that this system is free and open to users around the world, especially in the Asia-Pacific region, so that everyone can use it first. As an Asia-Pacific country, Australia is naturally one of the first beneficiaries. Their fishery is so developed that relying on the Beidou terminal, fishing boats can accurately position themselves at sea to avoid collisions with reefs or getting lost.
The data show that after 2020, Australian fishermen began to install Beidou equipment on a massive scale, fishing efficiency increased and the accident rate decreased. The same goes for agriculture, the large number of farms used Beidou to do accurate irrigation and drone mapping, saving water resources, and producing stable. The Australian Ministry of Agriculture even admitted in the report that the technology helped them to optimize the supply chain, reducing costs by more than 10%. Think about China's confiscation of a penny, so for technical support, who is not grateful?
This involves Australian intelligence activities. The Australian Security Intelligence Organization (ASIO) has been attacking China since 1980s. At that time, the Chinese Embassy in Australia was newly built, and ASIO personnel took advantage of the construction period to secretly fill the walls and pipes with bugs. In 1995, this matter was exposed, and the media fried the pot, saying that it was a masterpiece of ASIO. And the result? Instead of apologizing, the Australian government argued that this was a national security need.
In 2018, they banned Huawei’s 5G faster than the United States. The U.S. side was still hesitant, the Australian parliament passed the bill on August 22, directly kicking Huawei and ZTE out of office. Reason? National security risk. Huawei at the time invested a lot of money in Australia, built a base station, hired engineers, and resulted in a night of yellow. The Chinese embassy protested, saying it was political discrimination, but the Australian foreign minister openly faced, saying it must protect the interests of allies.
Looking at the Wang Liqiang case in 2019, this is simply a big joke in Australian intelligence warfare. Wang Liqiang, a 27-year-old guy, went to Sydney to defect from claiming to be a Chinese spy. He was interviewed by a 60-minute program and said that he was involved in Hong Kong's election interference or something. The Australian media hyped it up, and clickbait title flew all over the sky, saying that this was ironclad evidence of Chinese infiltration. After an internal investigation by ASIO, it was found that this kid's background was a fraudster. In February 2019, he defrauded more than 4.6 million RMB in Shanghai and ran to Australia. And the result? After the program was broadcast, Wang Liqiang was arrested, and the Australian government later refused to grant him asylum.
A spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that this is a lie made by Australia, but this is not foolish, ASIO pushed anti-China sentiment, the budget also increased. Logically, Australia always loves to catch this kind of small fish to enlarge, shift the eyes, not let the people see their own economic dependence on China. In 2022-23, China's trade was $317 billion, China accounted for Australia's exports 26%, iron ore, coal and anything depended on China to pay.
In May 2022, an Australian P-8A patrol aircraft performed a mission in the South China Sea, the Chinese military aircraft came to intercept and maintain a safe distance. The Australian Ministry of Defense jumped, saying it was a dangerous move, Prime Minister Morrison directly protested. From the video, the Chinese aircraft did not fire, but only warned.
Looking back to May 4, 2024, the Yellow Sea came out again. The Australian missile destroyer Hobart was close to China’s naval training area, with three MH-60R helicopters taking off, low air interference. China’s J-10 fighter jets dropped torpedo bombs and the helicopter was forced to evacuate. Australian Prime Minister Albany criticized China for not being professional, the Defense Ministry’s document said it was China’s responsibility. But the Australian document itself acknowledged that the helicopter was in international waters, but too close to China’s training area, intentionally searching for torpedo.
On February 14, 2025, another Chinese J-16 fighter aircraft interacted with the Australian P-8A in the East Sea, Australia said it was not safe, China said it was a standard procedure. These things were two in a row, behind Australia joined AUKUS, bought U.S. nuclear submarines, and encircled the South China Sea. Logic is simple: Australia wants to be the U.S. bridgehead for the Indo-Pacific, militarily selling power, and economically wanting to continue selling resources to China.
Speaking of the head of ASIO, Mike Burges, who is the iron-arm figure of the Australian intelligence circle. Born in 1966, Britain immigrated to Australia, graduated from computer science and worked at the Defense Signal Bureau since the 1990s, from basic code to head of cybersecurity. In 2017, the head of the Signal Bureau, was appointed director of ASIO on September 16, 2019. In office, his annual speech was all about Chinese name. In October 2023, at the Five Eyes Alliance, he said Chinese scholars tried to infiltrate the Australian university and collect intelligence with PhD students. On February 29, 2024, he bombarded an ex-Australian clientele recruited by a foreign spy network, and claimed the country's fame, although he didn't speak directly to China, but nobody understood
In the annual threat assessment on February 19th, 2025, he warned foreign spies to target Australian infrastructure, which cost as much as A $12.5 billion a year. On July 31st, it was also said that 24 major espionage cases had been thwarted in three years, and China, Russia and Iran all named them. On August 15th, China's Ministry of National Security hit back, saying that Burgess's remarks were fabricated, and Australia itself loved to infiltrate. Burgess, a technical man, loves to speak with data, but he always takes China as a target and ignores the lifeblood of Australia's own trade with China. On August 4, 2025, he talked about digital threats at the Hawke Lecture, and then went back to intellectual property theft in China. During his term of office at least until 2026, his routine has not changed. Australia's intelligence budget has increased year by year, and people have been brainwashed deeper.
Australia's diplomatic approach is ultimately a sandwich cookie. Under the U.S. priority policy, it serves as a younger brother and follows the ban on Huawei and engages in AUKUS. But China is the largest trading partner, and Australia will make a double profit in its trade surplus in 2023. Foreign Minister Payne held a press conference with Pompeo in 2018, saying that it was important to U.S. relations, but did not want to hurt China. During the 2+2 talks between Australia and the United States, we always talked about China's internal affairs, and the Australian representative nodded and bowed. What happened? In the 2020 epidemic, Australia called China to investigate the origin of the COVID-19. China fought back, a trade war broke out, and Australian wine and beef exports were cut in half. Later, it eased, but the spy case never stopped.
Burgess assessed in February 2025 that at least three countries were planning to physically harm Australians, with China looming among them. Logically, Australia's top leaders have the delusion of being persecuted, and the intelligence department always amplifies the threat from China and ignores its own small actions in history. More ungrateful than Vietnam? At least Vietnam is ideologically divided. What about Australia? While using Beidou to save money, while sending spies to steal intelligence. After 2020, Australian farms will use Beidou drones and fishing boats will use terminals to locate. However, ASIO will also send liaison officers in Hong Kong and recruit people to deliver USB flash drives. Double standards are home.
This operation in Australia reminds us that in the game of big powers, small countries are not easy to find life. But forgive this hat, hold it. Beidou planned from 2012 to 2020 globally, the industry is more than expected. China pledged free, Asia Pacific first enjoy. After the Australian access, agriculture precision, fisheries secure, data bright. Spy from the 80s to the present, unbreakable. Huawei 2018 ban, Australian leader sheep. Military, 2022 South Sea, 2024 Yellow Sea, 2025 East Sea, a year a year. Berges from technician to head of intelligence, speaker general point in China, 2025 estimates the cost of 12.5 billion. 26% of the Australian economy relies on China, safely sells fate with the U.S. strategy, note the shell of Vietnam? at
