Former Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison appeared before a US Congressional committee to warn that China is shifting from overt bullying to subtler tactics of 'charm and flattery' to achieve its strategic goals in the Indo-Pacific. Morrison urged the US and its allies not to become complacent, emphasizing the need for strong alliances, particularly through agreements like AUKUS, and greater economic resilience to counter China's influence. He highlighted how Australia faced economic punishment from China for siding with the US, and called for the US to deepen economic ties and build alternative supply chains with democratic partners. Morrison's testimony stressed that the US must be prepared to endure economic pain if necessary to stand up to China's coercion. The overall message was clear: vigilance and unity among democracies are essential to maintain balance and security in the region.
