The Communists have warned against Australia visiting Taiwan.

https://youtu.be/uc76QXnCAlY?si=lJVtLLItQ8PSJxjl

Beijing - interfering in Australian politics for the umpteenth time - claims that the visit would be a violation of the One China policy and that it “emboldens and supports the Taiwan separatist activities”.

Separatist activities? Taiwan has never been part of COMMUNIST China.

Albanese really must start making it clear which country he wants to be friendly with. A Communist dictatorship, or a democratic one with a similar size population and similar values.

In contrast to Communist China's instructions on whom Australia should visit, Albanese doesn't have the stones to tell Xi Jinping to stop the the PLO's aggressive acts towards the ADF in international waters and airspace.

The Prime Minister has made it clear that although
Australia supports the one-China policy, this does not
rule out having trade agreements with Taiwan or sending
ministers to visit Taipei. The PM stresses that Australia
is a sovereign state and as with other jurisdictions, its
free to engage with Taiwan in the trade and political arena.

The Lowy Institute tells us that:

"Beijing might want to lash out at Canberra if Australia
steps up trade and political engagement with Taipei but
Beijing simply has too many reasons to play nice with
Canberra to allow an expanded trade and political agenda
with Taipei to torpedo the Australia-China relationship."

We're told that not only does China want Australia not to
block its entry into the CPTPP ( Comprehensive and Progressive
Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership - for trade and
expansion - the Indo-Pacific is now the world's leading
region of economic growth). China wants Australia to take a
more permissive approach to investment in critical minerals.

China wants to stop Canberra from swinging its financial
weight behind the US moves to starve select Chinese technology
companies of foreign capital.

The Lowy Institute points out that the considerable
keverage that Australia has over China on these and other
issues means Canberra can probably pursue deepening ties with
Taipei with the ultimately low risk of seriously damaging
relations.

Conflict over Taipei would certainly have dire consequences.
It would risk sparking a US-China war and destroy the hard
won Liberal Democracy of Taiwan. However, Canberra does have
an eye out for these dangers and is aware that China also has
a lot to lose.

Bob-each-way Albanese is a liar who doesn't know what he supports. He certainly does not support the official Chinese view of ‘One China’ - the lie that Taiwan is part of China.

Taiwan has never been part of Communist China.

Taiwan has been occupied by 6 different countries since the 17th. Century, including imperial China, until 1945, when it was handed back, from Japan, to the Nationalists. But, it has NEVER been part of Communist China. In fact, the Nationalists escaped to Taiwan from the Communists.

Hence, Taiwan is an independent, democratic country that Albanese would be prepared to ‘do the dirty on’ in a worse way than he has done to Israel.

Despite China's protests Australian MPs will attend the
inauguration of Taiwan's new President on Monday in
Taipei.

A bipartisan delegation of Australian parliamentarians
will attend the inauguration of Taiwan's President
Dr Lai Ching-te. There will be up to four federal
parliamentarians amongst more than 400 foreign
politicians and officials welcomed by Taipei for the
event on Monday.
