This is a very narrow way of looking at the issue. What is clear from the last few years is that China is hell bent on becoming a member of the world club. To do that she needs to be seen as a country that cares about human rights, the environment etc. Not because it may impact on her markets in Australia but because it may impact on her markets (and political prestige) in the US and Europe etc. So notwithstanding that we may be in little Australia our voice together with the voice of the rest of the world will have an impact that the Chinese will respond to.
