WW3 warning: China to draw in ‘EVERYBODY’ with ‘dangerous and nasty spat’ with Australia – Daily Express

Political commentator and author Gordon Chang warned of a world war 3 conflict due to deteriorating international relations with China. During an interview with Express.co.uk, Mr Chang insisted China was causing problems across the globe. He noted that it was causing tensions to rise with nations like India, US, Japan and Taiwan with aggressive military action.

Mr Chang warned this could escalate quickly and cause a mass conflict.

Mr Chang said: "Anything can cause tensions to escalate between China and any of its neighbours or any nation in the world.

"China right now is in engaging in increasingly provocative and dangerous behaviour.

"This is going to draw in everybody in all probability.

"This is largely because countries are concerned and they are starting to act in concert to protect themselves."

Mr Chang highlighted the many nations China is pressuring with its actions.

He said: "That is how this thing can spread and yes right now Beijing has a particularly nasty spat with Canberra.

"But it also has its troops deep into Indian territory, it is flying its planes through Taiwan air defence zone.

Australia has a strong relationship with Taiwan, and backs the countrys independence from mainland China.

In response, Beijing state media outlets have threatened to strike Canberras military bases as punishment for their support for Taiwan.

Hu Xijin, editor-in-chief of the Chinese state media outlet, The Global Times, said: I suggest China make a plan to impose retaliatory punishment against Australia once it militarily interferes in the cross-Straits situation.

"The plan should include long-range strikes on the military facilities and relevant key facilities on Australian soil if it really sends its troops to China's offshore areas and combats against the PLA (People's Liberation Army)."
