Peter Dutton has warned the international community not to make the same mistakes with China as they did with Russia, as tensions over Taiwan escalate.
The opposition leader doubled down on his criticism of the Chinese government, saying there was regret stronger action wasn't taken against Russian President Vladimir Putin in the lead up to the invasion of Ukraine.
"There's no sense in a couple of months or a couple of years' time saying Chinese have gone into Taiwan, we didn't see this coming," he told Nine on Friday.
