Australia's military is too weak to be a worthy opponent of China, and if it dares to interfere in a military conflict for example in the Taiwan Straits, its forces will be among the first to be hit, Song said. "Australia must not think it can hide from China if it provokes."
Australia is within range of China's conventional warhead-equipped DF-26 intermediate-range ballistic missile, observers pointed out.

IMHO, Australia is not even a worthy opponent for Turkey let alone a superpower like China!
Australia won't be interfering in Taiwan on its own.
It's part of a global coalition that also includes the US, and Japan.
Secondly, the Australian military does have the capability to give Chy-na a blood nose with its F-35s, EW-18Gs, Super Hornets, Poseidons, our new Air Warfare Destroyers, the Canberra Class, and our new ANZAC Friogates, Collins Class Subs and soon 12 mother fucker French Barricuda Submarines at 5 billion a piece. These things can pop out of nowehere.
We aren't going to be invading Chy-na, but if Chy-na invades taiwan, you are looking at the prospect of WW3.
Look I don't mean to brag. But the ADF, is extremely capable and has better weapons than Chy-na.
No one in Australia has ever claimed Australia is about to go to war with China. This so called Chinese military Affairs expert forgot to mention that if the Australian military was facing off with China, then it will be as part of an US Led Coalition, and also including Japan, Singapore, NZ and very likely all of NATO to boot which also includes Greece, and Turkey.
Qurestion is, is Chy-na a worthy opponent when America is on its case? Doubtful! So, the Chy=nese better just leave Taiwan alone if they know what's good for them.
And whenever the Americans have some kind of war, among the first calls made are to Australia. That's because the Americans love and value our soldiers and military a great deal - especially our criminal SAS.
