> The other thing is, China has been known to operate overseas against targets

Here in boring New Zealand, the Chinese government has had anti-China protestors beaten in new zealand. They have stalked and broken into the office and home of an academic, expert in China. They have a dubious relationship with both the main political parties (including having an ex-Chinese spy elected as an MP).

It’s an uncomfortable situation and we are possibly the least strategically useful country in the world.

You're still part of Five Eyes... a privilege no single European Union country enjoys. That's what makes you a juicy target for China.
