Opposition foreign affairs spokeswoman Penny Wong will accuse the federal government of amplifying the threat of war over Taiwan for domestic political advantage, saying it is “wildly out of step” with the United States’ policy not to declare its intentions about the island’s defence.

Opposition foreign affairs spokeswoman Penny Wong says the policy of “strategic ambiguity” is the best way of “averting conflict and enabling the region to live in peace and prosperity”.For decades, Australia has followed the US’s policy of “strategic ambiguity” towards Taiwan – meaning they do not state publicly whether they would defend it in the event of an attack by China, which regards Taiwan as a renegade province.

“So when Peter Dutton talks about it being ‘inconceivable’ that Australian would not ‘join’ a war over Taiwan, he is wildly out of step with the strategy long adopted by Australia and our principal ally,” Senator Wong will say, according to a draft of the speech.

Gallo_Ways The majority of Taiwanese are expat Chinese from mainland China who escaped communism. So are they Chinese now?

Gallo_Ways HEY AUSTRALIA! THIS IS AUSTRALIAN ENGINEER ROB PETHER. THIS AUSSIE DESPERATELY WANTS TO GET OUT OF AN IRAQ PRISON & HOME TO HIS FAMILY AFTER NEARLY 8 MONTHS. WE ARE SHOCKED at the lack of CARES GIVEN by AUSTRALIA freerobertpether iraq UNSC

Gallo_Ways auspol tanya_plibersek SenKatyG Paul Keating's Press Club speech raises important questions about Australia's relationship with China Australia says more US troops to come, plans missile project | Military News | Al Jazeera

Gallo_Ways So Australia should lead from the front and instead of defending they should be seeking regime change and return the legit China govt

Gallo_Ways A little history China under Mao defeated Chiang. After the retreat, the leadership of the ROC, particularly Generalissimo and President Chiang Kai-shek, planned to make the retreat only temporary, hoping to regroup, fortify, and reconquer the mainland

Gallo_Ways Penny Wong should get the top job. She’s smarter than Morrison and Albanese and she’s not afraid to show it.

Gallo_Ways Correct.

Gallo_Ways miss ying-yen wong at her opportunistic best. Obviously Paul Keating had his effect on the demented alp.

Gallo_Ways With a surname like that...say no more!

Gallo_Ways No surprises there at Chairman Penny and Chairman Xi are in step. Comrade Wong showing her true colors 🇨🇳 unaustralian

Gallo_Ways Who cares?!

Gallo_Ways The reality is that Australia would indeed support the US in defending Taiwan. All Dutton did was to state fact. Wong has clearly shown his colours -- more closely allied with the CCP than Taiwan!

Gallo_Ways Who listens to Madam ? Wong ?never once criticised the Chinese why ?possible because of the hidden influence of Chinese as witnessing the well known apologists in the Labour Party and the hidden ones

Gallo_Ways Anybody asked the Taiwanese if they want to break from China? Australia clung to the UK in a referendum.

Gallo_Ways Oh, sure. That will work.

Gallo_Ways .SenatorWong follows PaulKeating’s position so clearly argued at the CanberraPressClub 10 November 2021. Taiwan is part of China, as is Hong Kong. What an embarrassment is the LNP MarisePayne ScottMorrisonMP rhetoric.

Gallo_Ways

Gallo_Ways So would Wong kowtow to Beijing? I would like to know SenatorWong

Gallo_Ways smal pig live us alone .

Gallo_Ways Liberal’s are pasted their due date AlboForPM

Gallo_Ways Wongs foreign policy seems happy to sacrifice the way of life of 23 million Taiwanese and Australia to become a silent Chinese lapdog

Gallo_Ways Most Australians are keen to cut ties with authoritarian China. Most Ozzies oppose human rights violation, torture camps, environmental distruction, worker exploration, foreign invasion, economic bullying, cyber terrorism, free speech violation. Wong is out of touch. auspol2021

Gallo_Ways Bunk, Australia needs to have the conversation about all things China, CCP is clearly a criminal force ?

Gallo_Ways I do hope she will. Scott has no idea about real world affairs. Please take him out of the equation.

Gallo_Ways Yup. Plays well. I still remember Palmer’s 2 minute ads election eve claiming the Chinese will build military airstrips in WA to guard their mineral deposits. Plenty believed that rubbish

Gallo_Ways I prefer Duttons approach to this ambivalence BS, the restraint approach of Carr denies the reality of CCP ambitions, it's never a good option to fight but hiding in the corner encourages bullying and let's be frank CCP are classic bullies/ economic extortionist UyghurGenocide

Gallo_Ways Well, there is Chinese policy. So there's that.

Gallo_Ways What a disgrace. Appeasement didn’t work in the 1930s with an aggressive, expansionist regime… has she learned nothing or is Labor’s policy to simply welcome in our new mandarin overlords?

Gallo_Ways Taiwan has nothing to do with Australia. Taiwan is China. China seeks reunification, and Australia has no business in slinging threats to China. This govt is placing the lives of all Australians in peril.

Gallo_Ways How does this women get to represent Australia in any way or form ?

Gallo_Ways Can Wong be right?😁

Gallo_Ways Dutton wants us to be appalled at China, while he blocks 10,000 Aussies on Twitter because they hurt his feelings. MarisePayne. Got to tag DeptDefence and AusFedPolice because Dutton is in hiding.

Gallo_Ways The usual Liberal dog whistle. A phony threat and damn the torpedoes- I mean submarines.
