A new opinion poll has found Australians are divided over the security threat posed by China.

The survey suggests left-leaning voters are less concerned about China’s actions than other Australians.

The findings highlight a growing political divide over national security and foreign policy.

The poll comes as concerns continue over China’s military activities and influence in the Indo-Pacific region.

Also, australia has strengthened defence partnerships with countries including the United States, Japan and India in response to regional security challenges.

During this time, experts say public attitudes towards China remain complex despite ongoing geopolitical tensions.

These findings are expected to add to debate over Australia’s future approach to China.
