China News Service, Beijing, April 27 (Reporter Zhang Su) In response to an Australian official’s China-related remarks, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin responded at a regular press conference on the 27th, saying that the Australian side was ill but wanted to let others. Taking medicine will not solve the problem at all.

  A reporter asked questions that day. The Secretary-General of the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade Sun Fangan recently delivered a speech at the University of Adelaide graduation ceremony, saying that Australia-China relations are experiencing a series of difficulties.

Australia hopes to establish a constructive relationship with China, but China hopes (Australia) to compromise on important national interests.

She emphasized the importance of maintaining the consensus rules for global security and prosperity, saying that it is in the interests of Australia, China and all countries.

What is China's comment?

  Wang Wenbin said that China always believes that a healthy and stable China-Australia relationship is in the fundamental interests of the two peoples.

The current serious difficulties facing China-Australia relations are rooted in Australia’s gross interference in China’s internal affairs, harming China’s interests, and provoking China by adopting discriminatory trade practices against China. China is completely responsible.

  He pointed out that Australia portrays China as an "authoritarian country," but he took the lead in prohibiting Chinese companies from participating in the construction of Australia's 5G network for unwarranted reasons, and has repeatedly vetoed Chinese companies to invest in Australia under the guise of "national security." The Australian media reporters conducted arbitrary searches.

The Australian side claimed that China "undermined the rules," but it brazenly tore up the cooperation agreement between China and Australia and wantonly undermined the normal exchanges and cooperation between the two countries.

  “Australia is ill but has to let others take medicine. This cannot solve the problem at all.” Wang Wenbin said that China hopes that Australia will view China and China’s development objectively and rationally, and do more to enhance mutual trust between the two countries and promote pragmatic cooperation. Don’t go further and further down the wrong path.
