Beijing says Pentagon has ‘cold war mentality’, Sen Lam with Richard Tanter, ABC, 5 March 2008

“What’s happened in the past year is Washington moving to balance India against China, and Australia of course being somewhat caught in between there. Hence Foreign Minister Smith’s remarks earlier this year that Australia would no long take part in the four party India, United States, Japan, China talks- this to balance Chinese concerns. But its certainly true the United States has moved in a very realist international way to balance rising Chinese power with the openness from India.”
