Statement by the spokesperson of the Chinese Embassy in Australia
Yesterday, the Secretary-General of the Australian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade called the Chinese ambassador to express dissatisfaction with the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Zhao Lijian on Twitter.
The Chinese Ambassador firmly rejected his unreasonable accusations.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying fully stated China's position yesterday.
Our museum would like to further emphasize that the rants of some Australian politicians and media are completely misinterpreted and overreacted. They serve two purposes: one is to divert public attention to the atrocities committed by the Australian army in Afghanistan, and the other is to promote bilateral relations between China and Australia. The blame for the deterioration is too much blamed on China.
Perhaps another attempt is to incite nationalism in Australia.
Obviously, Australia's actions will not help the restart of bilateral relations. We urge Australia to face up to the Australian army's brutality in Afghanistan, bring the perpetrators to justice, and return the victims to justice and justice.
We also urge Australia to face up to the crux of the current difficulties in bilateral relations and take constructive and practical actions for the improvement of bilateral relations.
