China's embassy has taken aim at Australia, the United States and Japan, accusing them of 'finger pointing' amid growing tensions with Taiwan.
The embassy went on to claim it was China that was the victim of "political provocation" from the US.
"And that now remains a watching brief for Minister [Penny] Wong, obviously, to make sure that we're doing everything we can to stabilise security in the region." "If there was a conflict around Taiwan, whether we're involved directly or indirectly on the periphery, we would certainly be in the gun," he told the ABC's Insiders.
