A former Conservative party leader has warned China and Russia are an \u201caxis of totalitarian states\u201d that threaten Western democracy if governments continue to turn a \u201cblind eye\u201d.<\/p>\n

Sir Iain Duncan Smith, who has been a vocal critic of Communist Party authorities in Beijing, was reacting to a piece by Times columnist Matthew Syed headlined \u201cWhile our leaders indulge in puerile squabbles, tyrants seize the moment\u201d.<\/p>\n

Mr Syed wrote that the West faces rising powers in China, Iran, North Korea and Russia that are \u201cmore powerful than Nazi Germany\u201d and more \u201cthreatening than the Soviet Union\u201d.<\/p>\n

During World War II, the axis powers were said to be the Nazis, Japan, Italy, who were ranged against the allies of principally Britain, the Commonwealth, and the United States.<\/p>\n

After the war the Soviet Union emerged as the chief enemy of Britain and the West during the Cold War which lasted until the 1990s.<\/p>\n

Agreeing with the foreboding sentiments of the article, Sir Iain wrote on the social media site X that the \u201cbrutal excesses\u201d of China and Russia had been ignored.<\/p>\n

He posted: \u201cThe West now faces a new axis of totalitarian states which poses the greatest threat to our principles of democracy, human rights and the rule of law.<\/p>\n

\u201cGovernment after government has turned a blind eye to the brutal excesses of these countries as our dependency grows. China and Russia understand how to capture the personal and national greed of the West.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs in days gone by, those in the West who have been warning about this threat have been ignored.\u201d<\/p>\n
