Australia faces real threat of ‘high-intensity conflict’ with China Empty Australia faces real threat of ‘high-intensity conflict’ with China

Australia now faces “probability of high-intensity conflict” with China, a leading defence expert has warned, as tensions between our two nations rise.

Australia is now facing “the probability of high-intensity conflict in our own immediate strategic environment”, a leading defence expert has warned, in the wake of what’s been described as a “significant escalation” from China against Taiwan.

Within the last 72 hours, Beijing fired a missile – for the first time ever – directly over the democratic island nation of 24 million people, part of a show of force after the Speaker of the US House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi visited Taiwan – a move Chinese authorities see as a provocation.

But they weren’t the only shots fired – as China’s aggression turned to the US and its allies, including Australia.

Speaking after Australia’s Foreign Minister Penny Wong said Beijing’s actions were “deeply concerning” and “disproportionate and destabilising”, Ms Hua blamed the “US and its sidekicks” for moving the world closer to war.

“Our countermeasures are necessary as a warning to the provocateurs and as a step to uphold our sovereignty and security,” she said.

“Now the US and its sidekicks have spoken up accusing China of ‘overreacting’.

“But if they truly care about regional peace and stability, why hadn’t they stood up and tried to dissuade Pelosi early on? Couldn’t they have seen this coming and prevented it?

“I hope that the US and its handful of ‘buddies’ will realise that if they do respect the principle of democracy, then they should hear and respect the voice of the more than 1.4 billion Chinese people.”

China is, by far, the biggest threat the world has ever seen and eventually we will all be at war with China. It's not a matter of if, but when!

The US and its handful of buddies? Rolling Eyes

China would use "all necessary means" to bring Taiwan back to the fold and "you can use your imagination" as to what that might involve.

Xiao Qian has threatened a re-education process for Taiwanese people as he ­declared Beijing was ‘ready to use all necessary measures’ to restore the liberal democracy ‘to the motherland’.

Australia has been told it "will have to change not just rhetoric, but policy, to ensure a productive relationship going forward.”

HA! Middle Finger
