    Tory MP Tom Tugendhat reflected on a possible conflict between China and Taiwan. While speaking to Sky News Australia with Sharri Markson, he warned that China would be in for a dangerous and difficult invasion. He added that China could very much fail despite its military strength compared to Taiwan.

    Ms Markson said: “There has been a lot of discussion about Taiwan.

    “We have already seen the disturbing takeover of Hong Kong, do you think China should choose to intervene in Taiwan?

    “Do you think that the UK, Australia and the US will intervene?”

    Mr Tugendhat highlighted some of the wider issues regarding conflict between China and Taiwan.

    He said: “First of all, Taiwan is a very different problem.

    “For anybody who has fought in the mountains, as I have had the privilege of doing in Afghanistan alongside some hugely impressive Australian soldiers, fighting in the mountains is really hard.

    “Any attempts on Taiwan could rapidly put the PLA in a very difficult position.

    “I am not saying that they would not succeed, but it would be extremely dangerous for them.

    Last May, a squadron of SU-30 fighter jets led by ace pilot Lu Geng scrambled to intercept foreign military aircraft that were approaching Chinese airspace.

    In radio communications aired in the CCTV report, pilot Lu can be heard issuing stern warnings to the foreign pilots in both English and Chinese.

    Pilot Lu later told CCTV that he would not have hesitated to shoot the intruders down if the situation had demanded it.

    He said: “If they had started the fight, I would fight.”

    Although the CCTV report did not identify the nationality of the intruding planes, experts said that they were most likely American.
