After the video meeting between the Chinese and US leaders, US President Joe Biden made overtures to China, and Biden reiterated his support for "Taiwan independence" and his stance of easing Sino-US relations has brought about a great change in the attitude of US allies toward China. As Sino-US relations show signs of détente and the positive signals from the outside world have come to an end, Australia has also begun to adjust its China policy. Previously, Australian President Morrison also hyped up in terms of trade with China, to the end, and now Morrison's attitude has undergone a 180-degree change, taking the initiative to show goodwill to the Chinese side, Morrison once again requested dialogue, which can be described as quite fast.
According to the Observer Network reported on November 18, Morrison said that the Australian side has always hoped to have a high-level dialogue with the Chinese side, and also said a meaty sentence, "As long as the Chinese side is willing, we are very welcome, at any time." In response to Molinsen's statement, China's officials in Australia responded, "The recent behavior of the Australian side is not suitable for high-level dialogue between the two sides." China's response can be described as not too hurtful and insulting.
According to reports, since May last year, the high-level dialogue between China and Australia has been interrupted, and in response to the statement that "Australia has abandoned high-level dialogue with China, the largest trading partner", Morrison rebutted, Morrison said that the economic and trade activities between China and Australia are still in a state of momentum. Not only that, Morrison also praised at the press conference on the 18th that the Australian side has always been very willing to engage in dialogue with China and hopes to seize any opportunity for dialogue with China. Australia's position is quite clear, and we know how much benefit it can bring, and in the face of interests, we will not compromise.
According to the Observer Network, Australian Trade Minister Tehan said in an interview on the 17th that he asked the Chinese side to give a chance for dialogue, and the Australian side hoped to seek constructive contacts with China to resolve the trade differences between China and Australia, but the Chinese side did not take care of it. Two days later, Morrison again requested dialogue, and it seems that the Australian side can't wait to improve relations between the two countries and solve the problems between the two sides.
In fact, the main reason for the damage to Sino-Australian trade is that the root causes are all provoked by the Australian side, and the responsibility is completely attributed to Australia and has nothing to do with China. If Australia is sincerely trying to correct its mistakes and work hard to repair China-Australia relations, china will certainly be happy. However, judging from the recent series of behaviors of the Australian side, the Australian side has no intention of repentance, and has repeatedly intensified contradictions, resulting in the continuous deterioration of Sino-Australian relations, and the Australian side has also made improper remarks on the Taiwan issue on many occasions and repeatedly touched China's red line.
According to the Global Network, on November 17, Morrison made a list of nine major areas, including vaccines, quantum computing and other key areas, and said that it would increase investment in these areas, and also cooperated with its allies to fight against countries that view technology in other ways, but the Australian side did not mention China.
Some Australian media published an article saying that the intention of Morrison's remarks is obviously aimed at China, and its intention is to isolate China in sensitive technology and exclude China. And Morrison's behavior is enough to see that the Australian side has not changed its attitude toward China, although it does have the intention of easing Sino-Australian relations, but it is only a beginning, and it still needs to be carefully considered.
Finally, whether China-Australia relations can be improved depends on the actual actions of the Australian side, so as to show its sincerity, otherwise everything will be exempt from talks. If the Australian side can really do what it says, naturally both sides will benefit, and both countries hope to see this good scene.
