According to reports, Mike Pessulho, secretary general of the Australian Ministry of the Interior, said that the Australian-Singapore-US military alliance has brought protection to Australia in response to the tension between China and the United States on the Taiwan issue, and today the free countries have once again heard the sound of war drums. Let us continue to look for opportunities to resolve the problem peacefully, while at the same time re-energizing the coming of the scourge of war. Australia must be prepared to "send our fighters to battle again". Australian media generally believe that the relevant remarks are aimed at China. In this regard, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said at a regular press conference on the 28th that individual Australian politicians, out of their own selfish interests, are keen to make statements that incite confrontation and exaggerate the threat of war, which is extremely irresponsible and doomed to be unpopular, and they are the real troublemakers.

"I've noticed that a lot of australians have also expressed their dissatisfaction on social media, believing that this inflammatory rhetoric is appalling and crazy." He said.

Zhao Lijian said that China has always been a builder of world peace, a contributor to global development, and a defender of international order, and China's development is an opportunity for the world. As a country that has long benefited from cooperation with China, Australia's clamor for the China threat theory is both untrue and immoral, and will eventually lift a stone and drop it on its own feet. We advise individual Australian politicians to abandon the Cold War mentality, stop making irresponsible remarks, and do more things conducive to regional peace and stability.
