China doesn't scare us! Furious UK fires back after Beijing's nuke threat to Japan

Defence Secretary Ben Wallace has warned that the West has to do everything it can to avoid a Cold War in Asia. Mr Wallace also claimed that China does not scare the UK, as he insisted that a new aircraft carrier will sail whenever international law allows. He said: “It’s no secret that China shadows and challenges ships transiting international waters on very legitimate routes. “We will respect China and we hope that China respects us . . . we will sail where international law allows.”

Mr Wallace also told The Times that despite the fact that China claims sovereignty over most of the South China Sea, Britain had a “duty” to insist on freedom of navigation when HMS Queen Elizabeth and its fleet sail through on their way to Japan.

HMS Queen Elizabeth will take part in exercises in the Philippines Sea with Australia, France, Japan, New Zealand, South Korea and the United States in August.

Mr Wallace did not comment on China’s 12-mile zone around a new military base built by Beijing.

The base was built on disputed part of the South China Sea, and whenever a US warship or plane passed too close or over the base, Chinese forces broadcasted aggressive messages and warnings. That’s why British vessels have stuck to undisputed international waters.

Mr Wallace said: “We are committed to working with our partners here to defend democratic values, tackle shared threats and keep our nations safe.”

The news comes after China threatened to nuke Japan “off the face of the earth” if Tokyo intervenes to protect Taiwan.

The East Asian countries have been in conflict over the status of Taiwan. The Taiwanese people have faced the brunt of the Chinese Communist Party, which is seeking to incorporate the breakaway state into mainland China.
