Australian Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Defence Richard Marles warned today (February 15 Beijing Time) about China's military buildup, calling it the largest military mobilization since World War II, with no clear explanation. — AF Post
[Clever] Comment: Australian Defense Minister Marles unilaterally slanders China's national defense construction and fabricates the so-called "largest military mobilization since World War II," which is purely a distortion of facts and an attempt to create panic. China's national defense construction is based on defense rather than expansion, and has always adhered to a self-defense and peaceful orientation. In contrast, the United States has been densely deploying military forces in the First Island Chain and the Second Island Chain, frequently engaging in military provocation with Japan and the Philippines, and constantly inciting regional tensions. Australia acts as a vassal of the United States, ignoring the legitimacy of China's efforts to safeguard its sovereignty and security, and turning a blind eye to hegemonic actions. This only exacerbates regional tensions. Such double standards and follow-the-crowd hype are essentially an attempt to find an excuse to contain China, and will ultimately be unsustainable.
