What's their end game, Holla Forums? are they really on their way to socialism or is Xi just bullshitting everyone

even the mightiest chinese empires were never able or desired to dominate the west

Anti-anglo gang

That's true, however thier entire mentality and foreign policy circulates around the post opium wars era, basically the chinese think that thier country was defeated and humiliated because they adopted a passive and defensive attitude while isolating themselves from the rest of the world so if China wants to survive and become a great power they have to be more like the west and be aggressive.
This is reflected in how they seek to emulate the Monroe doctrine in Asia and Australia.

Saving the world, with all survivors.

Top KEKE, I for one truly do welcome our Chinese overlords.

Yeah their billionaires and real estate moguls will surely lead us to communism.

Yeah as an Australian I sure love Chinese million and billionaires buying up large amounts of our infrastructure and farmlands and putting ships right up on our coastline. Or Americans on the other side doing the same thing. Chinese socialism and influence is really at work in Australia when they pay workers less then the original owners and use inferior and shonky business practices which harm the environment and bribe and pay off our politicians.

We must critically support the Australian government in it's war against Chinese and American neo-colonialism

Replace America as the sole superpower. Hopefully they will succeed at forcing America back but fail at establishing global hegemony. We need to go back to multi-polarity.

If this happened would it be progressive? Like, I know a case can be argued that Australia is imperialist itself but it is certainly a very minor player. If Australia were to run up against the interest of both super-powers, well… who or what would socialists support I know this is very unlikely but humor me here? What would be our stance?

I reckon our socialist parties be it as idpol as they are would be against Chinese business practices and and their interference in our self determination and against America for obvious reasons. We would probably have closish relations with China but would obviously wish to maintain our full independence and self control. Since I'm not an expert on South East Asia and Oceania Chinese foreign policy I have no idea whenever or not China would want to impose more control then less and whenever or not they "want" us for a Monroe/Eastern block type thing or just to kick American influence out.

I think Socialists around the world who know less about the shitty things Chinese businessmen and businesses do here would probably prefer to support a neo-colonialism resource and food pillaging China over a Australia truly independent from America/China (Briton isn't a factor of any real control nowadays). As such I hope people would be against the foreign dominance and control of Australia by Americans or the Chinese even if the reds weren't in power.
