China News Service, Beijing, September 28 (Reporter Huang Yuqin) In response to the Australian Prime Minister’s recent remarks concerning China, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying said at a regular press conference on the 28th that Australia is really sincere in improving and developing its relationship with China. The relationship is still saying one thing on the surface, doing another thing behind the back, or even blatantly stabbing a knife. China has its own judgment.
According to reports, Australian Prime Minister Morrison said in an interview on the 27th that Australia has no obstacles to direct dialogue between Australia and China on the political level, but China has not shown interest in this opportunity.
At the same time, the Australian media commented that the room for transition between China and the United States is large enough. In recent years, Australia has used the "democratic principle" as an excuse to wipe out all the "bullets", and Australia may be placed "without a license to play" against China. Embarrassing situation.
What is China's comment?
Hua Chunying said that China has always believed that relations between countries must be based on mutual respect and equal treatment, and that each other's core interests and legitimate development rights must be respected.
Whether Australia is really sincere to improve and develop its relations with China, or whether to say one thing on the surface, do another thing behind the back, or even blatantly stabbing a knife, China has its own judgment.
She pointed out that the current difficult situation in China-Australia relations is caused by Australia alone, and it is not what China wants to see. Australia is well aware of this.
The most urgent task now is for Australia to face up to the crux of the frustration in the relationship between the two countries and seriously consider whether to see China as a partner or a threat.
The Australian side should view China and China’s development objectively and correctly, handle bilateral relations based on the principles of mutual respect and equal treatment, and do more to enhance mutual trust between the two countries and promote pragmatic cooperation.
We hope that the Australian side will correct the wrong words and deeds it has taken in its relations with China for a period of time, and take practical actions to create conditions for the restoration and improvement of relations between the two countries.
