How much has Australia done in recent times to make Chinese angry? From excluding Huawei products, to promoting the so-called "traceability of the new crown", making a big fuss about the Hong Kong issue, the Xinjiang issue, and the Taiwan Strait issue, actively participating in the four-country mechanism against China, "AUKUS", and tearing up the cooperation agreement of local governments on the "Belt and Road" initiative... After doing so many bad things, the Australian government now says to China with a straight face, "Let's talk about it."
According to the Australian News Network reported on November 18, following the Minister of Trade, Tourism and Investment Dan Tehan called out to China in Singapore, Prime Minister Morrison said on the same day that "Australia has been looking forward to a high-level dialogue with China", and he even said that "as long as the Chinese side is willing, Australia will welcome it at any time".
His words sounded sincere, but according to the British newspaper The Guardian, the Chinese side explicitly rejected Morrison's request for dialogue. Chinese diplomats in Australia did not give any hint of "unfrozen dialogue" and made it clear that "the recent actions of the Australian government are not conducive to creating an environment for high-level meetings between the two sides." ”
Considering the consistent style of the Australian government before, as well as the defense of Dalton on the Taiwan Strait issue two days ago, the Chinese side naturally feels that there is no atmosphere for dialogue now. When Morrison shouted "high-level dialogue," he should not forget that his defense minister was clamoring that "the mainland will not be allowed to reunify Taiwan, and Australia should increase military spending and be ready for war with China at any time."
This statement is obviously too much, Australian netizens are another round of spit on Dutton, some people say: former US President Roosevelt's famous words are "holding a big stick, whispering softly", but Dutton is shouting loudly and only has a small wooden stick in his hand. Even the Australian media and bricklayers have expressed doubts, but they are not questioning Dutton's call for pressure on China, but his fierce rhetoric – which also shows that in Australia's current atmosphere, any rational voice against China may face political persecution, and in the "white Australia" sentiment that is full of incitement, we certainly will not waste our words.
Australian Foreign Minister Payne stood up to Puton out the excesses, arguing that Mr Dutton's statement was to avoid war in the Taiwan Strait and stressed that Australia "will do everything in its power to prevent conflict"; she also said that "the military alliance with the United States is the cornerstone of Australia's security, with a focus on promoting a safe, prosperous and rules-based Indo-Pacific region". Look at it, even the words of fire extinguishing are full of "white Australian" arrogance, And Australia really thinks that it can be the "deputy sheriff of the Indo-Pacific"?
Similarly, when Calling out to China for dialogue, Dan Tehan also stressed the "importance" of the Sino-Australian economic and trade relationship to China, declaring that it "can help millions of Chinese out of poverty", implying that "if it does not continue to do business with Australia, China will fall back into poverty" – a statement that is also full of arrogance.
If Morrison is sincere, then he must first correct a series of previous mistakes; the era of the West in the East is long over, and the era of "eating and smashing the pot" is gone!
Australia has never recognized its position and still looks down on China with a high-toe posture. Therefore, the door of Dialogue in China will only remain closed, and there will be no heed until the politicians in Canberra shout and break their throats!
