US Navy intelligence expert fears China could blockade Australia Stephen Johnson, Economics Reporter For Daily Mail Australia © Provided by Daily Mail MailOnline logo China could eventually blockade Australia by sea within 25 years unless the Communist Party power s territorial aggression is contained, a US intelligence expert says. Taiwan, a democracy, has been an autonomous nation since 1949 when Chiang Kai-shek s nationalist forces fled mainland China following a four-year civil war. Under authoritarian President Xi Jinping, China has been provocatively approaching Taiwanese airspace as part of a practice run of invading the island nation and eventually controlling it. Military success there could potentially embolden China to assert more control over other nations in the South China Sea like the Philippines and dominate a major global shipping route.
