According to US media reports, during their recent visit to Australia, senior US military officials continued to exaggerate the “space competition” with China and said that Australia’s strategic interests are a great treasure for the United States in the attempt to conquer Australia. However, some experts warn that if Australia is drawn into the competition for global hegemony by the United States, it will face enormous risks.
On December 1, Bloomberg News of the United States wrote a report entitled “Australia is a key asset of the United States in the increasingly fierce strategic space competition with China”, revealing that during the visit of senior US military officials to Australia , they argued with Australian officials about the United States and Australia’s use of space.

According to the report, Nina Armagno, chief of staff of the US Space Force, said in an interview in Canberra on Dec. 1 that Australia’s geographic location and research capabilities are “likely” for the strategic interests of the two. countries in space defense. at the end of the rainbow.” He said Australia’s position in the Southern Hemisphere is critical to the United States’ “space dominance awareness” capability, the ability to track and monitor all objects, satellites and debris in the low earth orbit.
Armaño also said he believes the close alliance between the United States, Australia and other Western powers is a “secret weapon” that China lacks.
At the same time, it is reported that John Shaw, deputy commander of the US Air Force Space Command, also said in a speech to the Australian Strategic Policy Institute that the main difficulty facing the US Air Force Space Command is “understanding our domain and what is happening within the Earth”, which calls for a “joint effort” to regularly monitor the space around the Earth.
According to reports, the above two officials met with Australian Ministry of Defense officials and other officials in Australia.
Britain’s “Financial Times” also speculated earlier this year that as China develops hypersonic missile and satellite technology, allies such as the United States and Australia are seeking deeper military integration to boost cooperation on security in the space and information fields to counter China. Yu Rai, lead researcher at Liaocheng University’s Center for Pacific Island Studies, had previously said that after China’s rise, Australia thought about what the United States thought and followed the United States to contain the China. , fantasy to become the “deputy sheriff ” of the United States in the Indo-Pacific region, and at the same time strengthen Australia’s international status and become a true middle power. But Australia’s population, economy and military might simply cannot support its over-extended dreams, and Australia will face enormous risks if it is drawn into the competition for US global hegemony.
