A shocking graphic compiled by Daily Mail Australia exposes how our nation would struggle into a physical conflict with China, thanks to the communist nation s military might.
China has called certain Australian politicians troublemakers and urged them to shake off the Cold War mentality amid fierce tensions between the two nations.
It comes after Home Affairs Secretary Mike Pezzullo declared the world s drums of war were beating and that Australia must prepare for conflict in the region.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian was asked about Mr Pezzullo s remarks in a press conference on Wednesday and gave a pointed response. Some individual politicians in Australia, out of their selfish interests, are keen to make statements that incite confrontation and hype up threat of war, which is extremely irresponsible, he said.
China has warned Australia it must support its policy to reunify with Taiwan if it wants the trade war to end.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin gave the chilling ultimatum at a media conference in Beijing one day after Anzac Day, continuing the increasingly belligerent tone adopted by the Communist Party regime.
He accused Canberra of meddling in China s internal affairs and said there is no room for any form of Taiwan independence . Taiwan is an inalienable part of China s territory, and the Taiwan issue is purely China s internal affairs that involves China s core interests and allows no foreign interference, Mr Wang said.

Australian security leaders say free nations again hear the beating drums of war
A powerful national security leader has warned the drums of war are beating closer as tensions with China escalate, as he declares Australia must do whatever it takes to protect our precious liberty .
Home Affairs Secretary Michael Pezzullo said in his Anzac Day message on Sunday while Australia should always search for peace, it must also be prepared to send off our warriors to fight the nation s wars .
He added free nations must remain armed, strong and ready for war, even as they lament the curse of war.
His comments came on the same day Defence minister Peter Dutton said conflict between China and Taiwan should not be discounted as the communist nation had ramped up its military activity as it sought reunification.
