Australia will follow the United States’ lead in recognising China as “the most serious long-term challenge to the international order,” Australia’s newly elected Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has confirmed, as the communist regime continues stepping up its communist platform in the Pacific region.

Speaking to Sky News on Sunday, Australia’s 31^st prime minster said, “Australia’s pretty much in lockstep with our allies in the United States” when he was asked about his centre-left Labor government’s approach towards China.
