Former Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott has delivered a stinging criticism of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) leadership during a speech to the Yushan Forum in Taiwan on Oct. 8.
Abbott said he turned down an opportunity to attend the conference two years earlier, afraid he might provoke Beijing. However, since then, his perspective on the Chinese regime has changed after the CCP took over Hong Kong, carried out the persecution of the Uyghur minority, and “cancelled popular personalities in favour of a cult of a new red emperor.”
