Truss also delivered a direct warning to China.
“Nato, a military organisation in the North Atlantic, has in recent years come to the Asia-Pacific region to throw its weight around and stir up conflicts,” Wang said.
“[China] will not continue to rise if they do not play by the rules.
“We have shown with Russia the kind of choices that we’re prepared to make when international rules are violated.”.
A recent China-EU summit was reportedly strained as Chinese representatives rebuffed pressure by European counterparts to help end the war.
“We have always made independent judgments based on the merits of the case,” he said, adding no further detail.
Truss has previously accused China and Russia being “aggressors working in concert”, telling Australian media she couldn’t rule out China using Russia’s invasion as an opportunity to launch its own act of aggression. »
