- The Global Times paper, a State run CCP mouthpiece, just threatened to strike Australian military bases and key facilities with long range missiles once conflict breaks out in the Taiwan Straits.
Global Times Headline
“China needs to make a plan to deter extreme forces of Australia.”
“Given that Australian hawks keep hyping or hinting that Australia will assist the US military and participate in war once a military conflict breaks out in the Taiwan Straits, and the Australian media outlets have been actively promoting the sentiment, 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).”

What does "China's offshore areas" mean? Does this mean Taiwan = China's offshore areas?

Senior Australian official recently said the drums of war are beating. Though he did not specifically single out China.
