Shadow Home Affairs Minister Karen Andrews says if China is actively testing its capability against Taiwan, then it is moving closer towards taking decisive action.
China conducted its largest military drills around Taiwan last week after US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi defied Beijing’s warnings and visited Taipei.
“Off the back of Nancy Pelosi’s visit, I mean the obvious question is was this an overreaction by China to that visit or was this an opportunity that China took to test its capability?”, Ms Andrews told Sky News Australia.
