The following is from our Aussie allies in the Pacific Rim. They are squirming wondering whether Biden has what it takes to put China [which senses America's weakness] in its place. China and Australia are having a bit of a row over China's building of bases in the Pacific near Australia.

There is something unfolding which has “all the hallmarks of the world’s next major military drama,” says Sky News host Chris Smith.

“Well what a week it's been for this standoff between China and Taiwan, which we cannot ignore, and neither can the United States,” Mr Smith said.

“From the week Joe Biden was inaugurated, Beijing has ratcheted up their claim to territory in the South China Sea, and of course Taiwan, beyond what we've ever seen since they split”.

“It is a clear challenge to the US.

“And if the United States does do something about it, we will be part of that conflict.”

“With the Biden administration stating recently, that their commitment to Taiwan was rock solid, this has all the hallmarks of the world's next major military drama … and that's way too close to us, for comfort,” Mr Smith said.
