XI AND CHINA MUST BE STOPPED AT ANY MEANS BEFORE TAIWAN IS ATTACKED

History proves that world leaders, as in presidents, prime ministers and those in positions of authority at the top of organisations like the United Nations, never learn any lessons from the past, to do with dictators or dictators in the making, and the great need to remove them from power before their quest for ultimate power reaches the point of madness.

Nothing could be more true to describe the menacing threat now posed to world security, and particularly Asia-Pacific security, by China's increasingly unhinged and warmongering leader Xi Jinping, his regime and his gigantic military forces.

Xi is now maliciously and intentionally stoking the fire of war by blatantly fanning pre-emptive propaganda that he is preparing his military and country to mount an invasion of Taiwan, by force if needed. 

Meaning, if Taiwan doesn't just wilt to Beijing's threats and cede its sovereignty to China then Xi is gearing up right now to invade the island nation, which contrary to Xi's own bulldust claims, was never part of China's territory following the Chinese civil war of the late 1940s.

A war was fought between the communists and nationalists on the mainland, the communists beat the nationalists and they in turn retreated to Taiwan. In effect, Taiwan was the truce, the compromise on the part of the mainland communists, to end the war. They let their opponents have the island. 

The only explanation for Xi's quite sudden and maniacal push to claim Taiwan as part of "One China" simply comes down to his own position of absolute, unbridled power. Xi is a complete control freak. For him now it's a case of no power is enough power.

Other world leaders have had plenty of forewarning in the past few years that Xi and China's regime was going from being typically totalitarian to outright dangerous and threatening to world security. 

Australia, being one third of the ANZUS treaty, would be compelled to back the United States up to some degree at least with military involvement if China invades Taiwan and the US goes to Taiwan's aid, which it will, without a doubt. 

So a Chinese invasion of Taiwan has major implications for Australia. We would be at war with China. 

That's why every option to stop Xi in his tracks before he and his military attempt an invasion of Taiwan must be explored and acted upon by all world leaders, and that includes our own prime minister, Anthony Albanese.

Options including immediate and very harsh trade sanctions being imposed on China until Xi Jinping backtracks on his threats towards Taiwan, and is willing to comply with a directive from the United Nations assembly for China to recognise Taiwan's sovereignty, or at the very least, it's autonomous "democratic status".
