Prime Minister Scott Morrison has corrected remarks he made that Australia supports a “one country, two systems” approach to Taiwan, which has angered opposition politicians.

Morrison twice referred to a “one country, two systems” approach towards Taiwan, which adopts the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) policy. In fact, since 1979, Australia’s official policy recognises the CCP as the sole legal government and regards Taiwan as a province of China.
