There is no need for ‘Chinese retaliation’ against Australia | Sky News Australia

It comes as China has stepped up its aggression in the disputed waters including sinking a Vietnamese fishing vessel. “Australia has always been a good international contributor,” Minister Hawke said. “These are international waters, these don’t belong to any one country.
