Former Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison appeared before a US congressional committee to warn lawmakers about the evolving threat posed by China.
Morrison argued that China has shifted from overt economic 'bullying' to a subtler strategy of 'charm and flattery' aimed at isolating US allies like Australia. He urged the US to remain vigilant, strengthen alliances such as AUKUS, and build economic resilience to counter Beijing's coercion. Morrison emphasized that the US and its partners must be prepared to endure economic pain to stand up to China and maintain a balance of power in the Indo-Pacific.
His testimony comes amid ongoing debates in Washington about how best to respond to China's growing influence.
