<s>[INST] With rising tensions in the South China Sea, some Australian experts are warning about the risk of a military conflict with China. Although the Australian Government has been trying to walk a tightrope, balancing relations with China while supporting South East Asian allies and the US, it's clear that Australia's diplomatic efforts have not been enough.
Consider the following information about Korean War:
 Australia sent about 17,000 troops to the Korean War.
 Australia lost 340 lives in the Korean War.
Australia was joined by 58 other countries in the United Nations sponsored war.
 Australia's role in the Korean War supported the United States.
Given this information, the risk of military conflict with China, and the context of history repeating itself, is Australia's inaction in the South China Sea dispute as a major stakeholder sufficient to mitigate the risk of military conflict with China?[/INST]
