Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian presided over a regular press conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the 11th. A reporter asked that former Australian Prime Minister Abbott recently visited Taiwan and made many inappropriate remarks about China. What is China's response to this?
Zhao Lijian said that adhering to the one-China principle is a recognized norm of international relations. It is also a prerequisite and political basis for China to develop friendly relations with other countries. Some Australian politicians' actions seriously violated the one-China principle and sent serious wrong signals to the outside world. China firmly opposes this and has made solemn representations to Australia.
Zhao Lijian said that the remarks of some Australian politicians are completely confusing black and white, and confusing right and wrong, which is extremely absurd. This kind of remark that incites confrontation, clamors against China's threat theory, brutal interference in China's internal affairs, and wantonly slander and smear China is very immoral, extremely irresponsible, and is doomed to be unpopular. We advise some Australian individuals to abandon Cold War thinking and ideological prejudice, respect basic facts, view China and China's development objectively and rationally, and stop making irresponsible remarks.
It is also reported that on October 10, former Australian Prime Minister Abbott wrote an article in " Australian ", and the title of the article was quite sensational: "My message to Taiwan is: Get ready for battle." The text exaggerated the so-called "threat" of the mainland to Taiwan, and also advocated that Taiwan must deal with "invaders". Regarding Abbott's extremely inflammatory remarks this time, some netizens mocked: Just stay well after retirement.
Report on the Australian newspaper
article began to deliberately exaggerate that Taiwan is in "danger". Then, Abbott declared that Taiwan was never part of "communist China". The article also pointedly stated that the PLA military aircraft are operating more and more flights around the Taiwan Strait, and the mainland is also establishing "large-scale amphibious attack capabilities" and hypocritically said, "I can hardly think of comparing this island. The more terrifying prospect of sea and air invasion”.
Although Abbott said that the mainland is more inclined to "win without fighting", he still called the actions of the PLA military aircraft the so-called "gray zone between war and peace", and even concluded that the mainland "occupied the enemy" "Taiwan's action has begun.
Abbott data picture
Based on these fallacies, Abbott then gave the argument in the title of his article: Taiwan needs to become an "Eastern Israel" and have the ability to fight all so-called "aggressors". Abbott even called out to Taiwanese people with great inflammatory behavior: I can't expect others to work harder than you to "fight for Taiwan".
However, in the comment section of The Australian, many netizens are not interested in this article that is afraid of the world's chaos. Some people said: "Abbott's participation in China (Mainland) and Taiwan affairs has reached a sad level." ↓
Some people advised Abbott: "Tony (Abbott), stay well after retirement." ↓
Some netizens pointed out incisively: "Abbott is always a war dealer, but he never goes to the battlefield." ↓
Abbott recently visited Taiwan and also delivered a speech at the Yushan Forum in Taiwan, on China's internal affairs and Foreign policy has carried out a series of attacks and smears. The Chinese Embassy in Australia responded at the time that Ah was a failed and pitiful politician. This person's ugly and crazy performance in Taiwan recently was disgusting, fully exposing his ugly anti-China face. This will only further ruin his reputation.
Abbott served as Australian Prime Minister from 2013 to 2015. During his administration, Australia signed a free trade agreement with China, and Australia joined the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank , but Abbott repeatedly said that he regretted it in recent years. During this visit to Taiwan, he also held talks with Tsai Ing-wen, saying that he would help Taiwan "break international isolation" and demanded that Australia oppose the mainland's accession to CPTPP and support Taiwan's accession.
