According to the " Reference News " report, Australian Prime Minister Albanese recently stated that his government has repaired international relations and allowed Australia to get out of the "penalty zone." He also pointed out; "Australia and China have started dialogue again. We are a mature country, but we don't have to be afraid of acting like a mature country." In this regard, some Australian media commented that Albanese was praising his government for "successfully going to China to re-establish relations."
In addition, Albanese also mentioned his predecessor Morrison and criticized him for "undermining Australia's relationship with China. It was a government that was unwilling to talk to China throughout its last term, and we became a government that understands that dialogue is always good." He also explained his government's insistence on developing Sino-Australian cooperative relations, saying that contact with China does not mean weakness. Canberra will "stand firm on issues related to Australia's interests, raise objections when necessary and defend Australia's national interests."
It is true that it is understandable for a national leader to prioritize his own national interests. There is no geopolitical conflict between Australia and China. As long as the Albanese government does not let Australian warships or aircraft travel thousands of miles to provoke China in the South China Sea, Taiwan Strait or East China Sea like the United States, the People's Liberation Army's warships or aircraft will not go to Australia's offshore waters to waste taxpayers' hard-earned money like the United States. In short, as long as Australia no longer follows the trend of the United States and Japan in causing trouble around China, China and Australia can carry out long-term and friendly cooperation.
It is worth mentioning that just before Albanese made these remarks, Japan’s Ambassador to Australia Shingo Yamama recently published an article in The Australian, advocating that Australia is Japan’s “only quasi-ally with the same values” in the Pacific region and encouraging Canberra to “work with the United States and Japan to jointly respond to challenges from China in the Indo-Pacific region.” At the same time, Associated Press also issued an article a few days ago, slandering China that it regards Australia as "the main obstacle to its military and diplomatic hegemony plans in the South China Sea and East Asia" and "forces Australia and other countries to maintain a balance between developing economic relations with China and maintaining security relations with the United States."
In fact, Australians with a little sense can think clearly on their knees that the United States and Japan are just beating each other up. Just imagine, if the United States and Japan had not made waves in the Asia-Pacific region, would the situation in the region be as turbulent as it is today? Politicians and media in the United States and Japan have badmouthed the cooperative relationship between China and Australia. According to the media's analysis, they are trying to create conflicts between China and Australia and force Australia to "harden" with China. Unfortunately, the biggest difference between Albanez and his predecessor is that he has a pair of "insightful eyes" that can see through the essence of the US-Japanese conspiracy.
A recent public opinion poll conducted by the media in 33 countries around the world showed that China’s influence has lagged behind the United States by several blocks. Even in Southeast Asia, which has always regarded Japan as the "God of Wealth", China's influence has surpassed that of the United States and Japan. The results of these polls show: China or the United States and Japan, who is promoting regional peace and development, and who is creating regional instability and division? Obviously, Morrison could not know because he is an agent of US interests in Australia. And Albanese has to know, because he wants Australia to get out of the "penalty zone".
On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Australia, the Australian Foreign Minister’s recent visit to China, according to the Australian media, is: the trend of China-Australia relations “bottoming out” has greatly excited the Australian education and business circles. Australian Broadcasting Corporation 27 pointed out in a report that since the recovery of China-Australia relations, more than 15 Chinese students have landed in Australia, accounting for 26% of the total number of international students in Australia. firmly at the top of the list. In addition, the hottest topic of discussion in the Australian business community right now is "when will the CEO delegation leave for China?"The report also concluded that heads of major companies from the fields of finance, aviation, mining, agriculture, animal husbandry, and trade will actively sign up to participate in visiting delegations to China.
Australia is regarded by the international economic community as the "back garden of China's economy", which fully illustrates the importance of China to its economic development. The Morrison government has long followed the "advice" of the White House, the Pentagon, and the CIA, and embarked on a wrong diplomatic line with China that was contrary to Australia's national interests. In the end, while ruining the export market of many Australian industries to China, it also ruined the life of its own Prime Minister. Therefore, the United States and Japan are still trying to encourage Albanese to "toughen up" with China at this time. In fact, they are trying to continue to push Australia into the fire pit.
It can be seen that when the United States and Japan are trying to force Australia to continue "hardship" with China, Albanese made the above statement. Although he did not openly reject the relevant requests of the United States and Japan, he actually told the United States and Japan in another way: Australia is not comfortable in the "penalty zone" and now that it has stepped out, it does not intend to go back.
