The Australian Government Made A Secret Plan ... - Business Insider

New details have emerged that reveal a 2009 Australian government document included a secret assessment on the risks of a Chinese attack ? and a detailed plan for possible military action against the superpower.

Those plans were not included in the public version of then-Prime Minister Kevin Rudd's 2009 defense white paper, which used strict terms such as "major power adversary" in order to not offend the Chinese, the Australian reports.

However, a new book has revealed that a secret chapter, not publicized with the white paper's release, contained a far stronger tone.

The Kingdom and the Quarry: China, Australia, Fear and Greed by the Australian's economics editor David Uren reveals that the plan would include "12 big conventional submarines with missiles, revolutionary Joint Strike Fighters, air warfare destroyers and giant landing ships".

The white paper detailed a plan that would involve blockading China:

"A major power adversary would be expected to respond to these blockades by mining and attacking ports."

"Part of the Defence thinking is that in the event of a conflict with the US, China would attempt to destroy Pine Gap, the US-Australia signals facility near Alice Springs, which is crucial for guiding US military operations in Asia ... the paper envisages a very different world in which Australian naval operations alongside the US in, say, the South China Sea, could lead to direct Chinese attack on Australia ..."

"The capability of China to reach out 5000km and touch Australia was a new element of the strategic environment."

Given that the US now has marines based in Australia, and tensions in the South China Sea seem higher than ever, the chapter seems rather prescient.

A release of diplomatic cables from Wikileak's in 2010 revealed that Australia's attempts to placate the Chinese didn't work, and Chinese officials were furious about just the public section of the White Paper. Rudd was also revealed to have told the US he was ready to use force if China didn't placate the international community.

Survival Leadership: Happier: Post #9- Relationships

Happiness in Relationships: Both Seligman and Diener have discovered that truly happy people have strong close social ties, without exception. ?Without friendship, no happiness is possible,? says Aristotle.? Romance is the ultimate form of friendship and therefore sits on the top of all our relationships and rules supreme. Being loved for our conditions?like wealth, fame, or attractiveness?is a conditional, fleeting kind of affiliation. Whereas, being loved for our character, caring, and kindness is unconditional and enduring love. The ?circle of creativity? was discovered by psychologist David Winnicott, who found that children played more creatively when in a certain radius of their mothers. Being loved unconditionally creates a safe place for us to be our creative best. We cultivate happiness in a relationship (especially marriage) by knowing and being known. Engaging in activities that help us reveal others and be revealed ourselves creates strong relationships.
