The Daily Mail reports: "Outrage as Chinese nationalist says Beijing should take control of Australia: 'The downfall of such a country is predetermined'."
The furore began when the China hawk, who goes by the name 'BeijingDai', shared a map to social media on Saturday with Australia labelled as a 'Chinese vassal state'.
New Zealand, Myanmar and the Solomon Islands would be given the same classification under the plans, while much of south-east Asia would fall under 'China's sphere of influence'.
The self-described China 'patriot' said occupation of Australia would be a cost-effective alternative to direct occupation of the entire south-east Asian region.
'Southeast Asia has a huge population. If China conquers them, it will need to need [sic: feed] them and develop them. This is a super hard task,' he wrote on social media.
He added: 'However, annexing Australia is a very cost-effective deal.'
'Australia has over seven million kilometres of land and abundant resources, but its population is even smaller than that of Shanghai.'
He claimed Australia's colonial history would make Chinese occupation not just cost-effective, but morally defensible.
