“It’s a very expensive program, they’re doing a lot of things and spending a lot of time and resources on building up the security, obviously building up their military. They’re doing a whole lot of other things which are not economically rational.” Ross Babbage said Australia should take caution when trading with China to ensure they aren't too exposed.
