'We must prepare': Dire warning as 'risk of war with China grows' Sun Online Desk 29th December, 2020 04:59:33 War with China is becoming increasingly likely amid ongoing international tensions with Australia and the US, a federal senator has warned. Liberal Senator Jim Molan told Sunrise on Tuesday, it’s “more likely than currently recognised” that China will go to war with the US. Australia is “not the main game” but “we’ve got to prepare” as “we are likely to be collateral damage”, he added. “It is not inevitable and if we prepare, there is a chance it will not happen,” Mr Molan told Sunrise.
