The Chinese embassy in Australia has expressed"discontent" about remarks on Taiwan by Foreign Minister Penny Wong and her US and Japanese counterparts.

China launched ballistic missiles during live-fire exercises near Taiwan following US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's controversial visit to earlier in the week.Taiwan's defence ministry said Chinese ships and planes conducted missions in the Taiwan Strait, with some crossing the median line, in what the Taiwan military described as a simulation attack.

"We're going to act in Australia's national interests and in accordance with our values ... we will say what we believe should happen in the region and we will make statements even if other nations don't agree with those."A joint statement from Australia, the United States and Japan on Friday condemned the Chinese government's actions and urged them to immediately cease military exercises.

"Instead of expressing sympathy and support to the victim, the Australian side has condemned the victim along with the perpetrators."Opposition defence spokesman Andrew Hastie described the strategic outlook in the region as "bleak". It accused the US of being the biggest threat to peace in the Taiwan Strait and said Australia should not take sides on maritime disputes between China and Japan.

claudiafarhart What CCP is not taking into account is the same rockets would be flying back to Beijing and shanghaidaily with a payload of N*kes.

claudiafarhart CCP China's war mongering attitude will constantly cause tensions. They propped up North Korea Dictatorship and the communism in Vietnam After taking tawian they would target Singapore and India The Dragon never stops feeding. Better to fight it head on rather than tail.

claudiafarhart I haven't seen anyone try to justify or explain Pelosi's visit What great cause did it serve apart from stirring up trouble in the region?

claudiafarhart When you say 'lash out', you probably meant 'lash back'

claudiafarhart United States of Hypocriticy... US corrupt neocons have created cracks in the Empires hegemony...

claudiafarhart If US do send in their military, will China be happy for a fight? That’s the core question for China to consider now.

claudiafarhart Really strange. China says Taiwan and presumably it's people are its own, yet it threatens them daily with total inhalation. Explain that paradox for me please.

claudiafarhart Why didn't China do these exercises down further away from Taiwan!? Seriously, we ALL need better people in charge with a real appreciation of Science Ethics Engineering etc. Peace Stuggle2Survive Humanity Future UN Peace

'Absolutely unacceptable': China warns Australia against involvement with TaiwanChina's embassy has taken aim at Australia, the United States and Japan, accusing them of 'finger pointing' amid growing tensions with Taiwan. Sabre rattling from an incompetent administration. Back in yer box, China. China's trade antics caused a pivot away from them by some businesses, farmer and suppliers. This results in a corresponding loss in soft power. The finger waving just doesn't carry the same weight it may once of had. C'est la vie... Unsurprising since China's list of what IS 'acceptable' is limited to: • Kiss CCP arse on command.

Beijing gives a history lesson as it warns Australia over TaiwanChina has demanded Australia treat its handling of the “Taiwan question with caution” in a broadside that refers to “fascist” Japan’s World War II attacks on Darwin, ignoring decades of post-war peace. A great reminder from Beijing, that China has been a great friend of Australia, and Japan, the Australia's current bestie, did try to occupy, invade, and perhaps annihilate Australian people. But how did Australia return China's friendship? Poison. Fair enough. Taiwan is legally Chinese. Even the US State Dept website states: 'U.S. recognized the Govt of People's Republic of China as the sole legal govt of China, acknowledging the Chinese position that there is but one China & Taiwan is part of China' UN agrees too Where is the lie? Lol Who was abt to invade Australia? Was it China? Or Japan? And Japan is now Australia's bestie. Snake!

'Finger-pointing': Chinese embassy warns Australia over 'absolutely unacceptable' Taiwan remarks'We also hope that the Australian side could treat the Taiwan question with caution ... and does not create new troubles and disturbances in China-Australia relations,' a Chinese embassy spokesperson said. Says the minister who walked out of a meeting with Russia. I think Australians in general don't want anything to do with China. Most would rather not deal with them any more and want to uncouple. A bastard country on the world scene. Remember Tibet. Really getting sick of this Chinese terrorizing government thinking they can tell other countries what to do and think. It’s bad enough they do that with their own poor citizens. Australia will always stand with democracies and Taiwan before China 🇹🇼

Taiwan crisis: China imposes sanctions on Pelosi over ‘provocative actions’Beijing also targets relatives of US House speaker as major military activity continues around Taiwan Serves her right. Stupid Nancy trashed the One China policy single handedly. Now she says 'of course my trip didn't undermine the One China policy, that's still our position'. Really. Then why meet the Taiwan guy who said 'the one China policy is outdated'? Lying endlessly What she can’t order some prawn dumplings for the next 6 months 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️
