This week Chinese officials have warned that any country that provides military support to Taiwan will face “the harshest repercussions.” Australia’s Defence Minister, Peter Dutton, said the country will do “all we can” to prevent China from acting aggressively against Taiwan. Mr Dutton’s “ideological prejudice” was criticized by China’s Ministry of National Defense, which added that “no one and no force” could stop Beijing from annexing Taiwan. China’s statements once again show its true face. 1. Brutal threats, against anyone who dares not to follow China’s line. 2. Xi Jinping’s China is ready to conquer peaceful democratic Taiwan by any means.
