Russia’s lack of success in their invasion of Ukraine is giving China “some pause for thought” about their own invasion plans for Taiwan following the CIA’s latest reports, says former Liberal MP Dave Sharma.
Mr Sharma’s comments come after the CIA revealed Beijing may be reconsidering its plans to invade Taiwan in the predicted year of 2027.
“China is seeing up hand and close the failures of the Russian military operation in Ukraine,” he told Sky News Australia.
“Which on paper is a much easier military operation than an … invasion of Taiwan.
“It’s doubtless giving them some pause for thought about their own military preparedness and readiness.”
