I can't believe Australia misses out on Sullust
So sorry dude. And you being so much closer to China, what's up with that? They could have had a guy in a Junk hand deliver the ships to you.
So anyway, ignoring your stereotype of Chinese people as floating around in junks when they actually made both the computer you type your stereotyping on as well as their own space station....
I live in China and my toy spaceships go Southern China --> USA --> Britain --> Western China. You may think that It's easy to get things made in China in China, but because of tax breaks for export-only companies, unless you either know someone who works in the factory or can find them on the black market you are pretty much SOL and have to order them in by airmail and pay import tax.
Therefore, it is very possible that things going to Australia actually go via the USA and it's too expensive/inconvenient/niche market to ship them back across the Pacific without someone else paying.
Peace and hugs
