The Australian’s Greg Sheridan says China’s laser attack was the “most aggressive thing they’ve ever done against us” – and exposes the holes in Australia’s military preparedness.
“There’s an arrogance, and a dismissiveness against us – it’s the way they treat Japan, and Taiwan and the way they sometimes treat the United States,” Mr Sheridan said.
“What struck me about the incident was that it exposes how utterly unprepared we are.”
