Australia’s policy with regards to Taiwan’s status is paradoxical because on the one hand we say yes Taiwan is part of China’s sovereign territory and on the other we say we have the right to conduct freedom of navigation operations in China’s sovereign territory...

(from interview 
) "And it is important to note that since Australia does not deny that Taiwan is part of China’s sovereign territory, intrusions by Australian warships or Australian aircraft into Taiwan’s waters or into Taiwan’s airspace, are in fact intrusions into the territory of China. And it could be argued quite reasonably I think that China has the right to defend itself and, if necessary, forcibly repel such intrusions. We’re very lucky that China has until now chosen not to take that kind of action...
So Australia’s policy with regards to Taiwan’s status is paradoxical because on the one hand we say yes Taiwan is part of China’s sovereign territory and on the other we say we have the right to conduct freedom of navigation operations in China’s sovereign territory...
And so that translates very quickly to the whole question of China, and Eldridge Colby, one of the United States warmonger strategists, made it very clear in his book The Strategy of Denial that it was the intention of the US to use Taiwan both as pretext and proxy to instigate a war involving China again with the purpose of bogging China in a protracted conflict which would inhibit its economic growth and impede its capacity to cooperate in economic development with other countries...
And the US has made it perfectly clear that it expects Japan, the Philippines and Australia to come to the defense of Taiwan. So that (the 3 countries) would be part of the network of proxies that would be used to embroil China in a war that would distract it from its peaceful development, cooperation right across the Global South."
