| Stunning Interview Sees China Warn "23 Million Australians" That US Pact Now Makes Them "Target" For Nuclear Attack |
| 2021-09-23 |
| During an Australian TV primetime segment this week, the well-known China-based expert Victor Gao, who is vice president of the Center for China and Globalization and once served as communist leader Deng Xiaoping's translator, issued a chilling scenario and shock to his Aussie audience over the controversial AUKUS defense pact between the US, Australia and the UK. Gao bluntly warned that the deal which will see Washington give Canberra nuclear submarine technology now makes all of Australia a target for nuclear strike: "The watershed moment will be if Australia is armed with nuclear submarines to be locally produced in Australia, Australia will lose that privilege of not being targeted with nuclear weapons by other countries," Gao warned. |

| #10 Sure it's weak. But then when observing Antifa, it's usually the pathetically weak that strike out in an unhinged fashion - much like most of your serial killers. |

| #7 At this point, I'm not sure we would retaliate based on China Joe's groveling to the Chinese. |

| #6 Is China suggesting that other other option is a minimal and survivable nuclear exchange? Because I always though that the US would probably attempt to sink mainland Asia if attacked with nukes and that would probably cause issues in Australia even if the Chinese didn't directly target them. |

| #4 "Nice country you got there. Be a shame..." Of course, American pols now say this about Americans they don't agree with, so it's sort of become cliché... |

#2  "The watershed moment will be if Australia is armed with nuclear submarines to be locally produced in Australia, Australia will lose that privilege of not being targeted with nuclear weapons by other countries," Gao warned.A very, very weak threat indeed. Australia has long been in the PRC's targeting folders. |
