China News Service, April 24 (Wen Tianxia) The Australian Federal Government recently announced its rejection of the "Belt and Road" cooperation agreement signed between Victoria and China.

This move not only violates the spirit of the contract, but also highlights its irrationality and rudeness, which will undoubtedly worsen the relationship between the two countries.

Australia disregards its own development and insists on going its own way on the road of anti-China, and it will eventually become a cocoon.

　　Australia, which is "on the top" of the Cold War mentality, has an outdated mentality and ideological prejudice, guards against China's development everywhere, and goes further and further on the wrong path.

The good relations established between China and Australia are being destroyed step by step.

　　The Australian media has been fabricating the concepts of "China Threat" and "China Infiltration" all the time. The imbalance of its attitude towards China and its lack of diplomatic autonomy are clear at a glance.

　　In recent years, Australia has been constantly looking for trouble in its relations with China, and wantonly smeared China on issues such as Xinjiang-related issues, Hong Kong-related issues, and the new crown epidemic.

Using the so-called national security as a guise to frame, interfere and obstruct China's economic and trade, investment, and cultural activities has seriously affected China-Australia cooperation and exchanges and undermined mutual trust between the two countries.

　　Although China and Australia are separated by vast oceans, they have very close economic relations.

Earlier, an Australian report pointed out that China’s “One Belt One Road” initiative will bring huge economic potential to Australian agricultural exports, allowing potential new buyers to find Australian products faster and cheaper.

　　Now, the Morrison government has decidedly "stopped", disappointing Victorians who are looking forward to improving infrastructure and benefiting from cooperation.

As the country’s netizens commented, “Australian farmers, fishermen, dairy farm owners, winemakers, mine owners...all of them will have to pay for the immature, naive, amateur diplomacy of the Canberra government.”

　　Former Australian Ambassador to China Rui Jierui emphasized when urging Prime Minister Morrison to repair China-Australia relations: “If Australia’s relations with China continue to deteriorate, Australia will become poorer and less secure.”

　　In fact, there is no direct and fundamental conflict of interest between China and Australia.

However, as the "South Anchor" of the United States in the Asia-Pacific region, as the United States has continuously implemented and promoted its anti-China strategy in recent years, Australia's "heart of Sima Zhao" who canceled the agreement this time undoubtedly hopes to act as a vanguard and seek greater goals for itself. Sense of presence and right to speak.

　　Since 2020, in the context of the global spread of the new crown epidemic, Australia has actively played the role of a "follower", echoing the United States on almost all anti-China issues, hoping to integrate into the United States' "Indo-Pacific strategy" and bind the United States.

　　In addition to presenting a "voting certificate" to the "big brother" of the United States, the Australian government's other scheming to cancel the "Belt and Road" cooperation agreement is considered to be a means to put pressure on the "little brother" New Zealand.

Nikita Maslenikov, a researcher at the Russian Political Technology Center, pointed out that among Western countries, New Zealand was the first to sign a similar agreement with China, and the Australian Federal Government has repeatedly blocked this.

　　However, in addition to receiving lip service from the United States, Australia is actually doing nothing but fetching water from a bamboo basket.

The Australian side bet on both sides of its perception of China, but in the end it can only take its humiliation.

　　From good to den, from evil to collapse.

Australia should be aware of the seriousness of the problem, abandon the Cold War mentality and ideological prejudice, take off the colored glasses to take a correct view of China's development, objectively and rationally cooperate with China, and promote the comprehensive and in-depth development of China-Australia relations in order to solve its own diplomatic dilemma.
