China’s military exercises around Taiwan ‘got the world to take notice’

Former DFAT Australia China Council scholar Andrew Phelan says China’s military exercises around Taiwan ”certainly got the world to take notice”.

”And I notice some people have said that the Japanese need to triple their defence spending,” he told Sky News host Chris Smith.

”We’ve got some catch-up to play around the world, we’ve got to get our act together, we need to move fast.”
