　　Federal independent MP Andrew Wilkie suspects Kevin Rudd was posturing when the foreign minister told the US force may be needed if China could not be successfully integrated into the international community.
　　
　　A leaked WikiLeaks cable has revealed that Mr Rudd, when prime minister, warned US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to be prepared to use force against China "if everything goes wrong".
　　
　　Mr Rudd also told Ms Clinton during a meeting in Washington on March 24 2009 that China was "paranoid" about Taiwan and Tibet and that his ambitious plan for an Asia-Pacific community was intended to blunt Chinese influence.
　　
　　Mr Wilkie, a former public servant who blew the whistle on the Australian government’s case for participating in the 2003 invasion of Iraq, said Mr Rudd’s advice was an "inconceivable notion".
　　
　　"I suspect there was some posturing on Kevin Rudd’s place at that time," he told ABC Radio today.

　　Mr Wilkie said there was tension in the way Australia balanced its "long-term strategic economic" relationship with China and its security alliance with the US.
　　
　　"I’m wondering the degree to which Kevin Rudd was fair dinkum about that (advice)," he said.
　　
　　The government is refusing to make any comment on the leaked US diplomatic cables.
　　
　　Mr Wilkie believes WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has not broken any US or Australian laws in publishing the documents.
　　
　　"It’s not Assange’s fault that this information is leaking out of the (US) administration - it’s the administration’s fault."
　　
　　The opposition is demanding to know whether Prime Minister Julia Gillard shares the view of her predecessor.
　　
　　"I don’t believe that that’s an appropriate piece of advice for Mr Rudd to give the United States," opposition foreign affairs spokeswoman Julie Bishop told ABC Radio.
　　
　　"I call on Julia Gillard to detail whether this remains the view of the Labor government."
　　
　　Ms Bishop says another leaked cable suggests Mr Rudd offered Australian special forces to Pakistan if requested by Islamabad.
　　
　　"This appears to contradict the government’s claim that Australia lacks the capability to provide additional troops to Afghanistan," she said.
　　
　　"Mr Rudd appears to have [said] that Australian troops would be deployed to Pakistan if international forces were invited into the country to assist with counter-insurgency."
　　
　　Ms Gillard must explain whether that commitment stands, and under what circumstances Australian troops would be deployed, Ms Bishop said.
　　
　　Labor backbencher Doug Cameron defended Mr Rudd from criticism.
　　
　　"Diplomacy is a tough game and international relationships is an extremely complex situation for governments to deal with, especially when it comes to the rise of China," Senator Cameron told Sky News.
　　
　　China would understand there was concern around the world about its rise and capacities.
　　
　　"And that’s natural," he said.
