‘The imperative': Taiwan's request for spot in Talisman Sabre exercises analysed
The Australian's Foreign Editor Greg Sheridan discusses Taiwan's request for a spot in Talisman Sabre above Australia's coastline as China ramps up war drills.

'Taiwan itself has only in the last few years started to really beef up its own defence capabilities to make itself a porcupine, very difficult for China to swallow, and Australia's defence spending, of course, is utterly pathetic.'
