Conclusion
Central
Argument
Australia
gave
its
immediate
support
to
the
Obama
AdministraBons
strategy
of
rebalancing
because
it
is
in
Australias
naBonal
interest
to
keep
the
United
States
engaged
in
the
Asia-
Pacic
and
because
U.S.
engagement
contributes
to
Australias
security.
The
U.S.-Australia
alliance
has
evolved
over
sixty
years.
In
other
words,
the
U.S.
strategy
of
rebalancing
represented
conBnuity
and
reassurance
from
an
Australian
perspecBve.

Conclusion
The
China
Choice?
The
Government
does
not
believe
that
Australia
must
choose
between
its
longstanding
Alliance
with
the
United
States
and
its
expanding
relaBonship
with
China;
nor
do
the
United
States
and
China
believe
that
we
must
make
such
a
choice.
