warned<\/a> that “the drums of war” were beating in the face of deteriorating relations between Beijing and Canberra.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIt is the free nations of our planet that hear these drums beating in consideration of advancing militarization, Pezzullo said. For this reason, he said, all possible measures must be taken to maintain peace in the world, although it is necessary to face the curse of war and be prepared for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pezzullo avoided naming the People’s Republic of China directly in this context. It remains to be mentioned that Australia is a member of the so-called Quad Group, a NATO-like organization that would prove to be a four-nation alliance in the fight against the People’s Republic of China in the event of potentially intensifying tensions in the Asia-Pacific region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Australian defense minister also warns<\/strong>
Earlier, Australian Defense Minister Peter Dutton had stated that the possibility of war breaking out over the Taiwan issue in the region should not be underestimated and dismissed out of hand. Rather, people should allow realism to enter their minds in light of the tense situation, Dutton said.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAfter all, he said, militarization of bases can be observed throughout the region at the moment. These activities are increasing with each passing day, while the People’s Republic of China and Taiwan are becoming increasingly hostile to each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Beijing sees wrong signals and reacts with sniffles<\/strong>
In the meantime, the Beijing government has taken a stand on the statements made Down Under. China’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin expressed his hope that the Australian government would fully recognize the sensitive situation between the People’s Republic of China and Taiwan.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIn this regard, Australia should stop,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“sending wrong signals to the separatist forces in Taiwan who were striving for independence.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Like bilateral relations between the United States and China, the situation between Beijing and Canberra has also intensified over the past several months. Just recently, the Australian government withdrew from two previously signed treaties between the People’s Republic of China and the state of Victoria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
New Silk Road: Contracts have been cut off<\/strong>
Both contracts had been signed in order to join the construction of infrastructure with the aim of repairing the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) of the Chinese. The word from Beijing on the development was that the government in Canberra should get rid of its Cold War mentality, including ideological reservations.<\/p>\n\n\n\nBut nothing of this can be observed at present. Rather, a leak has now occurred of a speech given, including previously secret instructions and directives to high-ranking military officials in Australia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Leak: Australian Major General sees very high risk of war<\/strong>
These documents, which have now been made public, reveal that Australian Major General Adam Findlay, formerly commander of the Australian Special Forces and currently an advisor to the Australian Ministry of Defense, said that he was focusing on an imminent war against the People’s Republic of China, the likelihood of which Findlay considers to be “very high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
