So you are of the opinion that China or North Korea has imperialistic intentions for Australia at this time? Do I understand this correctly?

No, not Australia, but Australia can and does stand in the way of China's imperialistic intentions throughout the Western Pacific, and weakening Australia would be the prudent strategic move. Unlike most of the nations in the Pacific, Australia - like the USA and Great Britain - is an Island Nation, and so has a very strong Navy (The USA qualifies as an Island Nation because it faces the Ocean on at least three out of four directions), much stronger than the Chinese Navy. Only the US Navy is stronger, and only the US Navy has the resources and can reach anywhere in the Pacific and place China in Check at any time. The USA and Australia combined have the resources to stand almost invincible in the Pacific, and add the other Pacific Navies, and you insure success.
