Episode description
China has a message for Australia: be quiet and take the trade money.
In a chilling speech, China’s ambassador to Australia laid out his nation’s aims with startling honesty – including that China would pursue what he called ‘reunification’ with Taiwan at any cost.
The reason he was sending that message has everything to do with US Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s recent visit to Taiwan, which raised the threat of conflict in the region.
Today, columnist for The Saturday Paper Paul Bongiorno on China’s message to Australia.
