According to observer website , Australian Trade Minister Farrell publicly stated that he had extended an olive branch to China. He also said that China-Australia relations have shown signs of easing, and that there may be a "compromise situation" between the two sides.

Although Farrell did not mention specifically what olive branch he extended to China, or what changes Australia planned to make to improve China-Australia relations, his statement may still be the Australian government's previous routine, pretending to release goodwill first, It was widely publicized, but without any subsequent practical actions. In the end, it not only appeased domestic exporters, but also passed the blame to China, accusing China of not communicating. However, this time it is also possible that the new Australian government really wants to improve relations with China.

On the one hand, China is Australia's largest trading partner. The anti-China actions of the previous Australian government have had a huge impact on Australia's tourism, mining industry and agricultural exports. As Farrell said in the interview, grapes were rotting on the vine and lobster prices were falling because they were unsaleable. These agricultural products could have had good sales in the Chinese market, but in order to cooperate with the United States in suppressing China, Australia eventually lost a large amount of its market share in China. Ironically, Australia's lost share was quickly occupied by the United States and other Western countries.

In addition to agricultural products, China previously relied on Australia for the import of iron ore, coal and other mineral resources. However, after China-Australia relations reached a deadlock, China quickly adjusted its import allocation and gradually got rid of its dependence on Australia's mineral resources. For Australia, it can only find new buyers in the international market. China-Australia relations are in a deadlock, and the impact on the Australian economy is visible to the naked eye. Morrison was abandoned by voters because of his inability to deal with economic problems. Albanese will definitely learn from this, so he seeks to cooperate with others in the field of trade. China resumed cooperation and took the initiative to extend an olive branch to China.

On the other hand, the large order of more than 30 billion US dollars signed between China and Airbus has made the entire Western world more aware that decoupling from China is a false proposition. Through this order, the Australian government should also be able to see a basic fact. Instigated by the United States, the West seems to be deliberately targeting China, but in fact the entire West is actively cooperating with China, and the United States is no exception. Therefore, it is undoubtedly extremely stupid to "decouple" from China now. Since the United States has taken the initiative to talk to China about trade issues, it is not surprising that the Australian government has taken the initiative to communicate with China on trade issues.

However, the key to restarting China-Australia relations lies in the sincerity of Australia. In response, my country's Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Zhao Lijian clearly responded at a regular press conference that restarting China-Australia relations requires practical actions. The implication is that Australia cannot just talk the talk but not do the deeds. But looking back at the period when Albanese came to power, he sent military planes to invade my country's airspace over the Paracel Islands, and made nonsense remarks about China before attending the NATO summit. There is no sincerity at all.

In addition, just as Farrell expressed his intention to extend an olive branch to China, the notorious traitor Xu Xiuzhong also became active in Australia. The Australian media published an "exclusive interview" article with Xu Xiuzhong, and the content was almost the same as the previous "anti-China" remarks. Xu Xiuzhong has been in hiding since October last year. Now that the Australian government has just expressed its intention to extend an olive branch to China, she suddenly jumped out and spoke nonsense against China. This is no coincidence.

The person behind Xu Xiuzhong is not Australia, but the United States. Xu Xiuzhong jumped out this time and made ridiculous China-related remarks through the Australian media. His purpose was just to stir up Sino-Australian relations so that Australia could continue to serve as the anti-China vanguard of the United States. Therefore, whether China-Australia relations can be eased depends on whether the Australian government can maintain a certain degree of independence in the face of pressure from the United States. But judging from the previous performance of the Australian government, we cannot have too much hope for it. In short, if Australia wants to ease China-Australia relations, it must show sufficient sincerity and practical actions.
