[Article / Observer Network Qi Qian] Today (23rd) afternoon, the Guizhou Provincial Government announced that all impoverished counties in the province will be lifted out of poverty. So far, all 832 national-level impoverished counties in my country have been lifted out of poverty. At this "historic moment", Australian Prime Minister Morrison greatly appreciated our country's poverty alleviation work.
On the evening of the 23rd local time, Morrison said in a speech to a British think tank that the global economy has been in recession due to the impact of the new crown epidemic, but Australia does not need to "reset the economic agenda." He specifically pointed out that China's economic rise is good for Australia and the global economy. "No country can lift more people out of poverty like China."
Recently, Australia's repeated provocations on issues involving China's core interests have led to tensions between China and Australia. Morrison recently claimed that China mistakenly believed that Australia was obeying US orders, but that was not the case. He revisited the matter in his speech on the 23rd and claimed that Australia should not make a passive choice between the "enduring alliance" with the United States and the "open, transparent and mutually beneficial relationship" with China.

According to the Australian Financial Review, Morrie on the evening of the 23rd Sen appeared at the British think tank "The British Policy Exchange" video conference and delivered a foreign policy speech on the current global economic recession and international relations.
Morrison said that the global recession under the new crown epidemic was not caused by "structural weaknesses in the global economy". Therefore, Australia will not "reset the economic agenda" during this period and change the economic principles under free market values. .
said: "These economic principles have supported global peace and prosperity, and it is these values that are driving economic recovery now... We don't need to'reset' Australia's economic agenda, we just need to move on."
Mo Lisson also believes that at this difficult time, big and powerful countries should use multilateral institutions to create wealth and exert influence, instead of wielding a big stick through the military. "Our international organization plays an important role as a circuit breaker, providing space and a framework for maintaining meaningful and positive interactions between countries."

Morrison: China-Australia relations are "open, transparent and mutually beneficial"
In the recent past, Australia has repeatedly made false statements and provocations on issues involving China’s core interests, leading to tensions in China-Australia relations, but the Australian government refused Introspect. Morrison recently responded with "Western arrogance", saying that the tension between China and Australia is "because Australia can persist in itself."

Morrison is sure about Australia's independence, but the Australian media have a different understanding. On the same day, the Australian "Financial Review" published a review article entitled "Australia makes itself an outsider in its interactions with China", accusing the Morrison government of "choosing strategic competition with China at the cost of strategic cooperation between the two countries."

Looking at the whole world, although Australia is not an "exception", it is already an "outlier".
On the 23rd, the Chinese Embassy in Australia once again stated on China-Australia relations that Australia has repeatedly taken wrong words and deeds on issues involving China’s core interests and major concerns, and proactively provoked provocative and confrontational actions, which has contributed to the current China-Australia relations. The root cause of the difficult situation. "Unlocking the bell must be a member of the bell", Australia should take practical actions to correct mistakes, do more things that are conducive to mutual trust and cooperation between China and Australia, and are in line with the China-Australia comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership, so as to effectively create good cooperation in various fields between the two countries.
