Your concerns mirror ours, except that we are also concerned about NZ/Australia given the threat of China.
I find it hard (read: impossible) to envision China going after either Australia or New Zealand or both. Why would they? There is nothing of strategic value in either place. Surely doing so would start a world war, unlike the taking of Taiwan which could be accomplished;listed in a week or two, and which they have laid claim to for more than a century.
If China was interested in expansion, I’m pretty sure their Belt Road initiative points in a direction far more likely. They have contiguous neighbors which would be easier to defend - and to invade - than some remote islands a thousand miles away.
I’m just not seeing any there there. I haven’t even heard of whiff of this in any reading I have done over the past several years.
