Chinese War Ship Nears Western Coast of Australia | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

Officials say a Chinese war ship with spying capabilities is nearing the western coast of Australia. Australia's Defense Minister calls it "an aggressive act." He also says it is unprecedented for a Chinese war vessel to be so close to Australia. Author of "The Great US-China Tech War" and "The Coming Collapse of China," Gordon Chang, joins to share his thoughts on this situation and why he thinks China is interested in spying on Australia. On another note, the Financial Times reports the arrest of Cardinal Zen is having a chilling effect on the Catholic Church in Hong Kong. They have already canceled Masses commemorating the Tiananmen Square Massacre out of fear of retaliation from Beijing. Chang tells us his thoughts on that. John Lee, a Catholic who is taking over as chief executive of Hong Kong, said action will be taken regardless of a person's background when someone is being accused of breaching national security. Chang gives us his reaction to that. He fills us in on what else he is following. EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
