China flexing its muscles could soon result in a ‘serious military crisis’

The world should not be distracted by COVID-19 from understanding there could be a “serious military crisis” emanating from China in the near future according to the Australian Strategic Policy Institute’s Peter Jennings. Reports and satellite imagery have revealed an increase in activity at China’s main nuclear testing facility in Xinjiang province. It comes as China has escalated border tensions with India as well as violating the airspace of regional neighbours. “All across the military board, China is now fielding more complicated equipment, and using it around its borders,” Mr Jennings told Sky News host Chris Kenny. Mr Jennings said the increased nuclear testing along with heightened activity in the South China Sea and with India needs to be watched and paid attention to by the rest of the world. “This is a significant muscle flexing from the people’s republic. “We shouldn’t be distracted by COVID from understanding that we could find ourselves in a serious military crisis in coming months if we’re not careful.” Image: Getty
