TV host warns Australians who don’t think China is a direct threat

News24 host James Macpherson gives a stark warning to Australians as their worries about China wanes. “Never mind that the Chinese military conducted live fire exercises off Australia's east coast, never mind that Chinese spy ships have been methodically mapping our coastline and never mind the test of nuclear capable missiles in our region,” Mr Macpherson said. “None of that is enough to convince a sizeable chunk of Australians that the Chinese Communist Party isn’t just a charming tourism campaign. “Nothing says strategic awareness quite like watching your neighbour sharpening an axe and concluding, he’s probably just really into woodwork.”
