Senior Australian officials clamor for the China threat theory, Zhao Lijian: the real troublemaker

Beijing, April 28 (China Youth Daily) -- Mike Pessullow, secretary general of the Australian Ministry of the Interior, recently claimed that the military alliance between Australia, Singapore and the United States has brought protection to Australia, and today, "the free countries have once again heard the beating of the drums of war, allowing us to continue to constantly seek opportunities to solve the problem peacefully, and at the same time cheer up again for the arrival of the scourge of war"; Australia must be prepared to "send our fighters to fight again". Australian media generally believe that his relevant remarks are aimed at China.

In this regard, at the Foreign Ministry's regular press conference held on April 28, spokesman Zhao Lijian said in his response that individual Australian politicians, out of their own selfish interests, are keen to make statements that incite confrontation and play up the threat of war. Such an approach is extremely irresponsible and doomed to be unpopular. They are the real troublemakers. Zhao Lijian said: "I have noticed that many Australians have also expressed their dissatisfaction on social media, believing that this inflammatory remark is appalling and extremely crazy. ”

Zhao Lijian pointed out that China has always been a builder of world peace, a contributor to global development, and a defender of international order, and China's development is an opportunity for the world. As a country that has long benefited from cooperation with China, Australia's clamor for the China threat theory is both untrue and immoral, and will eventually lift a stone and drop it on its own feet. We advise individual Australian politicians to abandon the Cold War mentality, stop making irresponsible remarks, and do more things conducive to regional peace and stability.
