Australia’s Shadow Foreign Minister Penny Wong has accused the Morrison government of “encouraging anxiety” around possible conflict with China and “pandering to the far-right” interests of the Liberal government. Wong also criticised the prime minister’s relationship with former U.S. President Donald Trump.
The shadow foreign affairs minister was speaking at a book launch for journalist Peter Hartcher’s “Red Zone: China’s Challenge,” where she spoke extensively of the threat posed by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), noting that the Chinese regime was focused on “survival.”
