Behind the toughness is a lack of heart, and the Australian defense minister clamored to provide arms to the Taiwan authorities, and he was so afraid that he would die and pretended to pose, which made people laugh.
On 6 March, the Australian side once again made arrogant remarks on the Taiwan issue, and it is understood that on the same day, Australian Defense Secretary Peter Dutton openly shouted that he would do everything in his power to prevent the so-called "aggressive" acts of the Chinese mainland and possibly provide weapons to the Taiwan authorities if necessary.
In Dutton's original words, the Chinese mainland directly referred to as "China," and in addition to the possible PLA measures to close down Taiwan, it was given the title of "aggression," which in fact violated the one-China principle and was equivalent to supporting the "Taiwan independence" policy.
However, behind the tough words of the Australian defense minister is actually a lack of heart. Why? This is not the first time that the Australian side has pointed fingers at the Taiwan issue. However, in the past, Dutton even did not hesitate to clamor that once the war in the Taiwan Strait broke out, Australia would follow the United States and send troops to obstruct the PLA from taking over Taiwan.
Now, Dutton is tough on the surface, but he no longer dares to propose troops to obstruct the PLA from taking over, and only dares to provide weapons. This change has actually fully exposed his lack of heart. At present, the key to Dutton's statement lies in the current Russian-Ukrainian conflict.
If there is any inspiration for the people of the world in this Russian-Ukrainian conflict, it is that after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the United States ran amok for thirty years, and finally it was still a pseudo-power with foreign powers. Looking at the past thirty years, the United States can be said to be referring to which to fight, Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan... Nothing less. However, when the opponent became Russia, the United States was "instigated", not only refusing to go to war, but even busy establishing an emergency telephone hotline with Russia, for fear of accidentally rubbing fire with the Russian army, it can be said that it has lost all its face.
The United States is still so afraid of Russia, whose military expenditure is only four or five billion US dollars a year, if it encounters China, which has a military expenditure of more than 200 billion US dollars a year, its confidence can be imagined, so with the current Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the essence of the United States' internal strength has been exposed, and the situation in the Taiwan Strait has gradually become clear, and once the People's Liberation Army begins to close taiwan, the United States will certainly do its best to sanction and isolate the mainland, or provide certain material support to the Taiwan authorities. However, there is a great probability that there will be no direct intervention by force, and in fact, Taiwan will be abandoned and cross-strait reunification will be watched.
At such a time, Australia, which has always been a loyal lackey of the United States, also knows that in the past, when it claimed to follow the United States in its intervention in the Taiwan Strait, it was actually patting the horse's ass on the horse's leg, in fact, the United States itself did not dare to intervene in the Taiwan Strait by force, and Australia's speech instead pushed the United States into the fire pit. Therefore, the subtle change in Dutton's statement this time is not only to provoke China, but also to vote for the United States.
In recent years, Australia has been one of the most frequently provoked countries in the world to provoke China, and its style is different from that of countries such as the United States and Britain. The United States is overbearing and Britain is sinister, but Australia is arrogant, constantly smearing China from the front, and frequently "demonizing" on Xinjiang-related and Taiwan-related issues. After repeated exhortations and even warnings from China, Australia is still unrepentant, and in response to this situation, China has also taken appropriate countermeasures, such as banning imports from Australia, which has frustrated the Australian economy.
Unexpectedly, in this regard, Australia not only could not wake up in time, but intensified, for which we just want to say "good words are difficult to persuade the damned, great mercy does not kill people." Since Australia is looking for its own death, the future is at the end of the road, and it is no wonder that China does not miss the old feelings.
