First was the G7 group leaders' summit, and then was the NATO member states' summit. The Western world held multilateral diplomatic events one after another in just one week, making various plans on how to confront China and Russia. Unlike previous NATO member summits, the organizers this time invited four non-NATO countries in the Indo-Pacific region, Japan, South Korea, Australia, and New Zealand, to attend Madrid and participate in activities under the NATO framework.
As a new "anti-China pioneer", Australia will never let go of this golden opportunity to peddle its anti-China propositions on the international stage and increase its presence on the international stage.
Sure enough, on his way to Spain for the meeting, Australian Prime Minister Albanese slandered Sino-Russian relations, claiming that China and Russia had a "special relationship", exacerbating conflicts among the international community. Then, he changed the topic and publicly shouted: The Beijing authorities should learn from Russia’s “strategic failure” on the Ukraine issue. “Attempts to use force to force changes in a sovereign country will be met with stubborn resistance.” Obviously, the so-called "sovereign country" here refers to Taiwan, China.
In response to this statement, Zhao Lijian's spokesman said, "Taiwan is not Ukraine. There is no comparison between the two, and Taiwan is not a sovereign country." We hope that relevant politicians will not make irresponsible remarks and escalate the situation.
After the drastic changes in Sino-US relations, Australia, as an important member of the Anglo-American system, did not hesitate to jump into the American pirate ship. It first joined the four-party mechanism of the United States, Japan, Australia and India, and then independently led the United States and Britain to establish the "Oku" "Sri Lanka" organization attempts to seek nuclear submarine from the United States.
Under the single-handed destruction of predecessor Morrison , China-Australia relations fell to the lowest point since the establishment of diplomatic relations. However, after the new government came to power, it has not shown any signs of improving relations with China and is still following the established hard line. . In fact, Australia's anti-China is not only a need to "loyalty" to the United States, but also an inevitable requirement to cater to domestic extreme national sentiments.
A few days ago, Australia's Lowy Institute for International Policy conducted a public opinion poll of its own people. The results showed that "if mainland China attacks Taiwan with force," 51% of Australians support sending troops to "help defend Taiwan" and 47% are opposed to it. This is objectionable. The
poll also showed that nearly 80% of the respondents believe that contemporary China poses a "military threat" to Australia, and nearly 90% of the people support the US-Australia military alliance. Both data set the highest record since the survey was conducted. Australian scholars said that just five years ago, most Australian people regarded China as an "economic partner", but in the blink of an eye, it became a "security threat."
After the great changes in Sino-US relations, the so-called think tanks and polling organizations in Western countries have begun to "cross the sea and show their magical powers": they are accustomed to designing an imaginary enemy in advance, and then guiding the public to express their opinions on the imaginary enemy's "invasion" of a certain area. Under the banner of "world peace", respondents would naturally have a negative view of this.
As we all know, most Western people know little about international affairs, especially China's political history. Under the brainwashing and advocacy of Western public opinion machines and politicians, fighting against the "imaginary enemy" in the eyes of the public is basically a kind of political correctness that cannot be questioned.
You might as well imagine that when filling out this questionnaire, how many respondents could find the geographical location of Taiwan on the world map? I dare not say 10% or 20%, but at least it is far less than the number of respondents who support sending troops to "help defend Taiwan".
If Western think tanks and polling organizations want to obtain truly accurate data, they can only instill rich information into each respondent before taking the questionnaire, including the "One China Policy", The causes of the Taiwan issue Only by publicly explaining these legal principles and historical facts can the interviewees be able to make relatively accurate evaluations. Otherwise, the so-called "opinion polls" are nothing but an obscenity created by the Western public opinion machine.
As for sending troops to "help defend Taiwan", it is more like the incompetent barking of Australia from top to bottom.Among the Australian armed forces, the only force capable of "protecting the platform" is the navy. However, the Australian Navy has only two "Canberra" class amphibious assault ships , three "Hobart" class guided missile destroyers, and 8 The "Anzac" class frigate , there are also three "Adelaide" class frigates and several "Collins" class conventionally powered submarines.
Even the "Canberra" class amphibious assault ship, which is the flagship of the Australian Navy, does not have the ability to carry F-35B fighter aircraft . It can only carry 12 helicopters and accommodate a reinforced battalion of amphibious landing combat forces. Is it possible that what the Australians refer to as "sending troops to protect the Taiwan Island" is sending land troops to strengthen Taiwan's mainland defense? If this is the case, then after the reunification process is over, China and Australia will still face the problem of delivering prisoners of war.
In response to the recent erroneous remarks made by Western countries and groups on the Taiwan issue, spokesperson of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, Ma Xiaoguang, said that they are advised to immediately stop sending wrong signals to the "Taiwan independence" forces and stop interfering in internal affairs. Those who play with fire will burn themselves.
