That's fair-ish for Australia (but then again, Australia is part of the five eyes, so essentially a part of US global policy), but less so for the US.

I believe most people see US <=> China in conflict, they don't really consider China <=> Australia, Vietnam or Japan.

The world (and the west) is not us only

Absolutely, I just wanted to point out that e.g. China <=> Australia is most likely not considered it's own conflict, but rather a subconflict of China <=> US, as Australia is part of the US bloc, just like every other Western nation and close allies in Asia.

China <=> Russia would be considered a different conflict, as few people believe that Russia would be acting as a proxy for the US.
