Australia could be on the verge of an all-out war with China as tensions between the two trading partners continue to escalate, a top general has warned his troops.
Major-General Adam Findlay, formerly one of Australia s top military commanders, said that a combat war with the communist nation was likely and we were already engaged in grey zone warfare.
The special force general made the terrifying prediction during a briefing with troops in April 2020, the Sydney Morning Herald reported.
Mr Findlay, who has since stepped down but is an advisor for the Australian Defence Force, reportedly said there was a high likelihood of war.

Australia s lucrative tourism and education sectors could be next in the firing line if Canberra doesn t bow down to Beijing, China s top diplomat in Australia has warned.
Ambassador Cheng Jingye told an Australia China Business Council briefing in Canberra on Thursday, the bitter diplomatic spat between the two nations is all Australia s fault and hinted more economic pain is to come.
He said the rising tension would make Chinese students and tourists think twice about heading Down Under.
The comments echoed similar remarks he made in April last year when the wolf warrior diplomat said Chinese customers may not want to buy Australia beef and wine after Scott Morrison called for an independent inquiry into the origins of the coronavirus - which first appeared in Wuhan in 2019.

Lijian Zhao made the comments during a press conference on Wednesday when he was asked about Home Affairs Secretary Mike Pezzullo s hawkish declaration that the drums of war were beating on Australia s doorstep.
The Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman identified the communist nation as the target of Mr Pezzullo s speech, even though he did not mention China, and slammed selfish Australian politicians for perpetuating the theory that China is a threat.
