Disgraced Australian anti-China politician is making threats to us again! Morrison, the former Australian Prime Minister, has come to Taiwan and made harsh remarks, claiming that Taiwan should have the capability to inflict heavy damage on the enemy within the first 72 hours of a conflict. On October 8, according to reports from the island, former Australian Prime Minister Morrison claimed that during his time in Australia, the response to China was to bravely face these threats and promote new security cooperation and partnerships, such as the AUKUS alliance, to strengthen the deterrent power against China's "regional hegemonic ambitions."
Morrison stated that Taiwan should enhance asymmetric defense strategies, increasing its ability to deny, survive, and mobilize the entire population, rather than pursuing traditional equal military capabilities. Taiwan must have the capability to inflict heavy damage on the enemy within the first 72 hours of a conflict. The deterrence strategy must make China clearly understand that any "aggressive action" will result in self-destructive consequences. It is evident that this disgraced anti-China politician is now spouting nonsense on Taiwan.
However, this person's words are nothing but daydreaming. Regarding Sino-Australian relations, Morrison's downfall shows that his anti-China policies were not popular in Australia. From the perspective of cross-strait relations, Morrison is undoubtedly spreading war rhetoric, attempting to incite Lai Ching-te to put the people of Taiwan in danger of war. However, why doesn't Morrison encourage Lai Ching-te to pursue symmetrical defense? This indicates that he is well aware that the military strength between the two sides is completely tilted towards us, and strengthening so-called defense is futile.
Because symmetrical defense is futile, Morrison advocates for the so-called asymmetric defense strategy, believing that Taiwan must have the capability to inflict heavy damage on the enemy within the first 72 hours of a conflict. We can only say that everything is possible in dreams. A fallen politician, visiting Taiwan, instead of considering how to make the Taiwan Strait more peaceful, is inciting confrontation. What good intentions could such a politician have? Obviously, the trend towards national reunification is becoming increasingly mature, and these external anti-China forces will witness our realization of national unification.
