'NO RETURN': China's warning to 'delusional' Australia
Beijing has again rejected the Morrison government's persistent commentary about China's presence in the Indo-Pacific, branding Defence Minister Peter Dutton as "deluded". Mr Dutton's unwavering, vocal stance on China continued on Friday with a frank address at the National Press Club where he warned of forming "dark clouds" thanks to China "using its increasing power to compel compliance at the cost of respect." "Today we face the most significant change in our strategic environment since the Second World War," he said, adding if China was successful in reunifying Taiwan, the rest of the region would be at a heightened risk.
