"Someone had to say no": Scott Morrison stands by tough stance against China

Former Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison has written a book.

It's being described as a political memoir, a self-help book, and a story of faith. 

The book is called ‘Plans For Your Good: A Prime Minister's Testimony of God's Faithfulness’. 

Morrison told Mike Hosking that it was a great privilege to do what he was able to do as Prime Minister, calling it a tremendous honour.  

He says he has no regrets about his tough stance against China. 

Morrison was an outspoken critic of China during his four years as Australian Prime Minister, including leading calls for an international inquiry into the origins of the Covid pandemic in China. 

China responded with punishing trade restrictions on Australia. 

Morrison told Mike Hosking that someone needed to stand up to China over its aggression in the South China Sea. 

He says countries need to have clear red lines and not trade their sovereignty and values.
