国安大佬帮总结,怼中国嗓门太大,国防定单骚操作。
Australia’s former intelligence chief Duncan Lewis says Australia has been “rather louder than we should have been” in public criticism of China when a better approach, given escalating regional tensions, should have been “speak softly and carry a big stick”.
Lewis has told the Australian National University’s national security podcast Australia had been at the forefront of China criticism “when we might well have been better to have been one back and one wide”.
The sharp critique from the respected former military officer, diplomat and director general of the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation under the Abbott and Turnbull governments.
Lewis was also critical of the way the security deal was executed. There was a botched multibillion-dollar submarine procurement, and significant collateral damage to Australia’s diplomatic relationship with France.
“Let’s call it a blunder, to pay the French $5.5bn for a submarine not developed and not delivered,” the former intelligence chief said. Relations would recover in time “but it will take a fair amount of time and we need to work hard on it”.
Given the dangerous security conditions in the world and in our immediate region, Lewis said he was concerned that Australia had bought “nothing much that goes bang” in terms of defence capability for a considerable period of time.
