I would also be interested to see how often ministers from Taiwan have visited Australia. The last one I know of is the Minister for Economic Affairs John Deng (鄧振中) who visited in 2015.
One more for your list: Gary Hardgrave, then Minister for Vocational Education and Training, visited Taiwan in for 5 days in 2005. He was accompanied by an Education Department Dep-Sec and a number of representatives from Taiwanese community organisations in Australia (his electorate, Moreton, had/has Australia's largest Taiwanese community).
Could you provide a direct quote, with link, from an official PRC document, that contains false or misleading claims or misinformation about Taiwan? I ask because I have not seen one.
The ideas for combatting Chinese propaganda eg on one China policy/ Taiwan are important and good ideas. But the elephant in the room is the CCP control almost all Chinese language media especially social media. We are the only country in the world to have the ignominious achievement of having our PM Morrison deleted by WeChat when trying to use social media on Australia to communicate our foreign policy to Australian citizens who use WeChat. We no longer have complete freedom of speech, and have lost significant sovereignty. WeChat helped Labor win but if Albo does not behave, the CCP can use WeChat to help other factions in the ALP, the Greens, their proxy “Australian Citizens Party” . We have seen he will behave, like coming out of his first meeting with Xi and stating that Taiwan is not a country and therefore can’t be part of the. CPTPP. He corrected it later, but as he knew full well, Chinese controlled Australian media had what they needed- evidence of Australian obedience.
Morrison did not have a WeChat account, because foreign politicians are not eligible for official WeChat accounts.
But they can still get an account via a Chinese national on Weixin, which is what Scotty did. But it wasn't his and the Chinese guy who set him up realized that Scottys is a racist ragbag and withdrew permission.
Taiwan isn't a country, either, despite its diplomatic recognition by Palau and St Tomas.
Wow. Are you an Australian citizen ? You are claiming that China should have the power to stop an Australian PM from communicating with his citizens. You are saying I and others don't have the right to freedom of speech, that it is OK for China to control this in Australia. RE: Taiwan, it is a place where humans live. They have a right to not live under what is without hyperbole an evil dictatorship (CCP). It is not our job to defend them. It is however morally right to do what we reasonably can, with the help or helping allies. No doubt you are opposed to freedom and democracy as well as being opposed to Australia's sovereignty. Your cynical response helps me understand how countries become colonies.
China’s settlement of its trade dispute with Australia over barley (and soon with wine) would be telling of Beijing’s renewed efforts to iron out wrinkles with CPTPP members that may be unreceptive to a potential Chinese accession. This is certainly a space worth watching.
It’s journalism like yours that are a source of disinformation. All parroting the stance and hypocrisy of US involvement in many nation’s internal affairs to suit it’s hegemonic purpose.
Almost every self appointed Western journalist claims to be an expert or having deep understanding of Chinese politics, culture, historical events and language. Do they?
Today’s mainstream medias or aptly ‘stenographers’ pushing their own theories and agendas are just adding more fuel in support for Govt’s agenda.

Interesting, thanks for the tip! Do you know if it was an earlier add on to his December 2005 trip to Hong Kong listed here: https://www.aph.gov.au/Senators_and_Members/Parliamentarian?MPID=CK6
Sorry, that should say 'for 5 days in November 2005'

Wow. You really need to work on your English language comprehension, along with your emotions.

This is feeling a bit too much like Twitter already !
