Former Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott has urged Australian businesses to reduce dependence on Chinese manufacturing by finding alternative sources for key raw materials amid the mounting pressure on global supply chains caused by the pandemic.

“I'd be a lot more scared about a shooting war with China than I would be about a couple of degrees rise in temperature over the next 50 or 60 years,” Abbott said in an interview with Hudson Institute on Nov. 1.
