In the struggle between America and China for space, Australia will become a "pot of gold". And although Beijing is developing its space technologies very quickly, striving to "catch up and overtake" the Americans, the United States also has a strong trump card against it.

This opinion was expressed during her visit to Canberra by General Nina Armagno, Chief of Staff of the US Space Forces in an interview for the US agency Bloomberg.

She said that Australia's strategic capabilities, combined with its geographical location, make it a real "pot of gold at the end of the rainbow", contributing to US-Australian cooperation in the field of defense space technologies.

Since Australia is located in the southern hemisphere, from its territory you can easily control everything that is in Earth's orbit: from space debris to satellites.

This is the best country for space awareness

- Armagno thinks.

The Deputy Commander of the US Space Forces, General John Shaw, who was with her on a visit to Australia, said in his speech at the local Strategic Policy Institute that regular monitoring of outer space around the Earth requires concerted efforts of the two countries.

Against the backdrop of a noticeable increase in Beijing's influence in the Asia-Pacific region, Canberra and Washington have significantly expanded cooperation in the defense sector. Last year, these countries, together with Britain, created the military-political alliance AUKUS.

The "pot of gold" mentioned by the General refers to Irish folklore. The mythical character leprechaun hides his treasure "at the end of the rainbow".
