Director of the Australian Strategic Policy Institute Michael Shoebridge says the urgency with which Australia and the US are preparing to deal with potential aggression from China indicates the seriousness of the situation.
Mr Shoebridge said he believed it was “absolutely credible” there would be conflict with China within a year.
“You look at what they (Beijing) are doing in the South China Sea and on the Indian border, they are relentless and aggressive, and they face some opposition,” Mr Shoebridge told Sky News.
“There was the Japanese, American and Australian navies in the South China Sea and the PLA navy are being quite aggressive, so yes it’s absolutely credible.”
