Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Lu Kang emphasized at the regular press briefing that “Australia should be very clear about China’s position on the relevant issue of our bilateral relations.”

And China looks at the map and says, "All that vacant land.... Hmmm, how far do the nine lines extend?" Australia should know that evil won't enter a house unless it's invited in.

Is anyone keeping track how many countries - neighbors! - China has intimidated, bullied, economically pressured and even threatened with war?

Vietnam: was threatened with war if they don't stop drilling for oil
South Korea: economic sanctions after they decided to use THAAD to protect themselves from nuclear attacks by north Korea (reminder:China is the biggest banker and military enabler of North Korea! )
Philippines: threatened and then suddenly Duterte becomes a friend of China. ..months later we find out his son is connected to China drug cartel
Taiwan- many times threatened with war, lately even if an American navy ship would anchor
Australia- several times threatened
Japan- threatened and bullied over fishing and other issues
North Korea- biggest friend with China. Got everything from mobile missile launchers, to rocket fuel, to coal and other energy deals, to political backing from China
..

Need I go on? There's a monster growing in APAC and we all need to work together to not be killed, bullied, intimidated by it..and that monster is not north Korea. It's China. China has made north Korea possible. China leads to an unprecedented arms race in apac

Meanwhile China militarised the south China Sea, builds networks of connected artificial islands all with military infrastructure on them. Then China is prohibiting unfiltered information to come into its country. Manipulating thoughts of its population that is largely in the dark about what's really happening. ..

I could go on for hours ..the world needs to wake up to prevent ww3
