According to The Guardian's report on July 22, Australian Foreign Minister Margot Johnson stated that Australia and other neighboring countries will not be forced into China's 'provocative' actions.
Huang Yingxian will deliver a speech at the ASEAN Foreign Ministers' Meeting in the Philippines on Thursday.
Regarding China's submarine-launched strategic missiles in early July, Wong Ying-hsin claimed that the tests "provided too little information and notice in advance."
She is also making false statements, which is an act of provocation and undermines regional stability.
This missile test is a routine part of China’s annual military training. It has been notified to relevant countries in advance. It complies with international law and international practice, and does not target any specific country or objective.
Suzhou University's Chair Professor and Deputy Director of the Center for Global Cooperation Studies (CCG), Gao Zhikai, previously told Australian media that Australia should be grateful to China for notifying Australia in advance about this test.
As for China's actions in the South China Sea against the Philippines, Huang Yingxian will also express concern.
The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs responded that the relevant countries are not parties to the South China Sea issues and have no right to intervene in maritime issues between the parties. It is obvious to anyone who pays attention that those few countries are always ready to protest against China, regardless of the circumstances, whenever there is any incident at sea.
She also warned leaders of various countries not to impose tolls on the Hormuz Strait. Both Iran and the United States have made such threats during this conflict.
