CANBERRA—The Chinese regime’s “alarming” actions do not match its rhetoric about promoting peace and prosperity in the region, Australia’s defense minister said on Friday after a Chinese navy ship was tracked sailing through the country’s exclusive economic zone.
Defense Minister Peter Dutton listed the Chinese communist regime’s militarization of the South China Sea, recent aggression towards Taiwan and the introduction of a national security law in Hong Kong as examples of the Chinese regime’s actions being at odds with its rhetoric.
