Under normal circumstances, China rarely takes the initiative to teach other countries a lesson. It will only take sudden measures when it "cannot bear it any longer". However, China either does not take action or does it harshly. Australia has been severely taught a lesson. one time. According to a report by Observer.com on May 6, after China announced that it would formally freeze its diplomatic mechanism with Australia, the Australian dollar exchange rate fell sharply that day, drawing a long downward black line on the index table. The United States Bloomberg pointed out, " The Australian dollar experienced a dark hour", triggering panic in the Australian market.
Professor Caitlin Byrne of Griffith University in Australia pointed out that "it is not the time to panic" and the situation in the future "may get worse". Obviously, Professor Byrne believes that Australia's economic prospects "Not optimistic". It is reported that the sudden drop in Australia's exchange rate is closely related to a measure taken by China. Earlier that day, China announced that it would "indefinitely freeze" all activities under the China-Australia Strategic Economic Dialogue mechanism.
This move by China caught Australia off guard, which was equivalent to being staggered. An ominous premonition enveloped the hearts of the Australian media.
The Australian Broadcasting Corporation stated that this is the first time since the deterioration of relations between the two countries that China has "officially frozen the diplomatic mechanism." Professor Byrne of Griffith University in Australia pointed out that China's counterattack is "a sign of further deterioration in China-Australia relations." ". Obviously, the continued deterioration of China-Australia relations will seriously affect Australia's economic development. Therefore, the exchange rate market responded and fell after China announced the freeze of diplomatic mechanisms with Australia.
As we all know, China is a country that pursues good neighborliness and friendship. It has never imposed sanctions or threats on other countries. It has taken the initiative to freeze diplomatic mechanisms with other countries. This has been quite rare in recent decades. The reason why Australia is allowed to enjoy this opportunity this time This kind of treatment is mainly because Morrison the government has gone too far. For example, not long ago, the Australian government blatantly tore up the major infrastructure project agreement signed between China and the state of Victoria on April 21.
html On May 2, Prime Minister Morrison ordered the Ministry of National Defense to re-examine China’s 99-year lease agreement of the Port of Darwin in Australia on the grounds of “national security” and clearly stated that it would “consider” taking compulsory measures against Chinese companies. , so that it "gives up the right to lease". Just recently, the Australian military stated blatantly that a war between China and Australia was likely to break out. Earlier, the Australian military also stated that the "war drum" had been beaten.
Obviously, Australia is harming China's interests without any scruples and actively cooperates with the United States' strategy of "containing" China. It is under such circumstances that China takes such strong measures to fight back against Australia. Since Australia has no sincerity in dialogue , has repeatedly "spoke softly and done ruthless things" and engaged in "double-dealing" in communication with China. Then simply freeze the communication channels. Obviously, this is China's proactive escalation of diplomatic warnings.
The subtext is self-evident, that is, since Australia is going to rush forward on the dead end of "anti-China", it must be prepared for the comprehensive deterioration of relations between the two countries. "Please feel free to do whatever Australia wants to do," but China's Counterattacks will follow one after another, which is equivalent to ", don't say that you are unpredicted, ". China's move is not only to warn Australia, but also to deter other countries that are trying to harm China's interests to prevent them from following Australia's bad example. For example, Japan and the United Kingdom have recently been determined to follow the United States and have done more and more things that harm China's interests.
