Recently, former Australian Prime Minister Keating said "Taiwan belongs to China" in an interview with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), which caused dissatisfaction among former US House Speaker Pelosi. In the same program, Pelosi called Keating "stupid" and "not in line with the security of the Asia-Pacific region", and questioned Keating's relationship with China.
In a statement issued on August 13, Keating hit back at Pelosi, referring to her "reckless and willful" visit to Taiwan in 2022, which exacerbated tensions between China and the United States and almost led China and the United States into a military confrontation for the first time since World War II. Keating said that Pelosi had received warnings from the Pentagon and President Biden that her visit posed a military risk, and it was this person who thought his remarks about Taiwan were inappropriate, while the United States, Australia and even the world adhered to the "one China" policy.
Keating criticized Australia's joining the Ocus Agreement in the interview, saying it was tantamount to selling out to the United States. He also criticized the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) for broadcasting Pelosi's interview in a statement, saying that "Australia's strategic interests should be better represented when there is an opportunity, rather than being stimulated by the sensational remarks of a person who has nothing to do with Australia's national interests."
