Kevin Rudd's claim that cross-Straits unification would lead to the decline of America's golden age has sparked controversy.

Australian former prime minister claims: If China and Taiwan are unified, "America's Golden Age" will vanish completely

Australian former Prime Minister Kevin Rudd recently claimed in an interview, "If 'China annexes Taiwan,' the so-called concept of 'America's Golden Age' will collapse within America's global alliances."

Note that Rudd did not use the term "unification of the two sides of the strait," but instead falsely referred to it as "China annexing Taiwan."

In the rhetoric of "Taiwan independence" and "anti-China" discourse, the term "unification" is never used. Instead, they consistently use the false term "annexation," and deliberately place "China" and "Taiwan" on equal footing—this is a blatant denial of the fact that "Taiwan belongs to China."

Although Rudd calls himself a so-called "China expert," he is actually an extreme anti-China figure. This time, he openly slandered and attacked China's great cause of national reunification, attempting to incite the United States to undermine China's unification by spreading the "China threat theory." How despicable his intentions truly are.
