In order to ease the relationship between China and Australia, Morrison’s desire to survive was overwhelming and he directly transferred Birmingham away. Australia's current trade minister, Simon Birmingham, who threatened to file a complaint against China in the WTO, will be transferred and replaced by Dan Tehan, who has extensive trade experience, to negotiate trade with China. After being transferred, Simon Birmingham will be appointed as the Minister of Finance and will no longer be responsible for trade between China and Australia.
According to Australian media reports, Tehan has been working in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade until 2018 and has accumulated a lot of diplomatic experience. The Australian media believe that Morrison changed Birmingham to Tehan at this moment to ease the current Australia Trade relations with China. Morrison told Australian media that Tehan's main responsibility after serving as Minister of Trade is to resolve trade disputes between China and Australia. Morrison also emphasized that because of Tehan's work ability, he believes Tehan can do the arduous task of repairing Sino-Australia relations.
As for Birmingham, Australian media said that the sharp decline in Sino-Australian relations and the sensitivity of trade are likely to be caused by some detrimental actions by Birmingham that have caused the current sharp decline in Australia's economy. Morrison said that once China stopped importing Australian coal, Australia would lose billions of dollars every year, and Birmingham filed a complaint to the WTO for China's imposing tariffs on Australian barley, which would also put Australia in this fruitless complaint. 500 million Australian dollars is lost every year.
It seems that the Australian media seems to have pushed to Birmingham the problem of intensified conflicts between China and Australia, because Birmingham once claimed that China's anti-dumping measures against Australian products are all wrong, and Australia is the real victim. However, the relevant person in charge in China once said that Australia always regards itself as a "victim" and continues to criticize China in an attempt to confuse the audience. China will not accept it. However, China still urges Australia not to politicize trade relations and not to go further and further down the wrong path.
At the end of the report, the Australian media expressed the hope that Dan John would sit in the position most likely to repair Sino-Australian relations. Only by resuming economic and trade exchanges between China and Australia as soon as possible can Australia's economy be restarted, and the many difficulties Australia faces Can be solved.
