A BRITISH warship will sail from Australia through the South China Sea next month.

Mr Williamson added that Australia needs to step up its game in the region.

“World dynamics are shifting so greatly. The US can only concentrate on so many things at once,’’ he said. “The US is looking for other countries to do more. This is a great opportunity for the UK and Australia to do more, to exercise leadership.”

Mr Williamson has also warned that Australia needs to remain vigilant over China’s rise.

“I think we’ve always got to be vigilant to any form of malign intent ... Australia (and) Britain see China as a country of great opportunities, but we shouldn’t be blind to the ambition that China has and we’ve got to defend our national security interests,” he told the ABC.
