Aussie FM Comments on Dec 2025 PLA Drills Near Taiwan

Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade

China's military and coast guard exercises around Taiwan are deeply concerning, destabilising and risk inflaming regional tensions.

Australia strongly opposes any actions that increase the risk of accident, miscalculation or escalation.

Differences should be managed through dialogue, not the use of force or coercion.

Australia opposes any unilateral action to change the status quo across the Taiwan Strait. Peace and stability are in all our interests.

Australian officials have raised concerns with Chinese counterparts.
