China attacking Taiwan ‘all-but-inevitable’
Story by Sky News Australia • Yesterday 6:17 pm - 25-4-2023
There were some “important messages” in the government’s Defence Strategic Review, which was released on the eve of ANZAC Day, says Sky News host Peta Credlin.
Ms Credlin said the most worrying one is Australia is “currently not ready” for armed conflict on any serious scale as about “every defence analyst” now says China is preparing to attack Taiwan.
“Democratic Taiwan is never going to submit to communist rule – that means that a Chinese assault on Taiwan is all-but-inevitable,” she said.
“There's not much in this review, at least in the unclassified version, about how Australia might help to maintain peace across the Taiwan Straits because believe me America will expect our help.”
Ms Credlin said the thing that needs to change is how Australians think about themselves because we can’t honour Australia and its people on ANZAC Day and then “spend the rest of the year denigrating our country and ourselves”.
