Former Australian prime minister Paul Keating has attacked a planned visit to Taiwan by United States House Speaker Nancy Pelosi as “foolish, dangerous and unnecessary”.
Taiwan’s capital has staged a series of annual air raid drills – ahead of a reported visit next month by Ms Pelosi.
“If the situation is misjudged or mishandled, the outcome for the security, prosperity and order of the region and the world – and above all for Taiwan – would be catastrophic,” Mr Keating said.
