The fear of China attacking Australia is why the government is spending “amazing amounts of money” in defence such as the AUKUS submarines deal, says Sky News host Andrew Bolt.
“It’s also why our friends are,” Mr Bolt said.
“It’s why the US is spending more on defence, it’s why Britain now is spending more, it’s why India just said it’s spending 13 per cent more, it’s why Japan’s Prime Minister has announced Japan’s biggest military build-up since World War II.
“Australia and all these other democracies are spending more than they like, more than they used to, because everyone sees the same huge threat, China – the dictatorship building up a massive military, threatening war over Taiwan.”
