Willandra Lakes Region - Australia

I read that the Willandra Lakes Region had been put on the United Nation’s ‘World Heritage List’.
This was done because it seems there have been humans living there for more than 45,000 years.
Not only that there of items that were imported to the area where they are not found naturally.
Sadly I discovered the descendants of the people that lived at that location for 45,000 years were packed up and sent to a reservation because sheep herders wanted their land. Some of those people then having their children taken away to join the ‘Stolen Generation’.
At this time Australia is fighting in Afghanistan helping to kill sheepherders that have the mistaken idea that their country belongs to them.
Considering these things I cannot understand why Australians are standing by mutely while the United States is steadily arming Communist China.
China is a non-market economy with an occupying army sitting in Tibet committing atrocities and carrying out genocide and using North Korea to threaten nuclear attack.
It is a repressive and aggressive society.
Even so the U.S. is allowing and encouraging General Electric to provide them with super-powerful gas turbines, jet engines (which can be adapted for use in rockets) and other advanced technology easily adapted to weaponry.
Does Australia have any national interest other than trying to defend the wool market from cave men in Afghanistan?
Isn’t a heavily armed Communist China being supported by an naïve President in the United States cause for even a little concern?
