Actions speak louder than words.

As soon as #Australia's PM #AnthonyAlbanese had returned from a visit in #Beijing, OZ naval divers got injured by irresponsible behavior of Chinese naval staff.
And as soon as the #APEC summit in #SanFrancisco had been finished, #China resumed its bullying of free and democratic #Taiwan.

My bottom line: Do NOT trust the words of #CCP officials. Judge them by their deeds.
