The U.S. media just broke the news that Yellen was about to visit China in April, and only two days later, the U.S. announced sanctions against China. This time, the United States is leading the "Five Eyes" alliance towards China. On the 25th, the United States and the United Kingdom announced sanctions against two Chinese individuals and a Chinese company under the pretext of the so-called "cyber attack" by China.
In response to the US and Britain's efforts to pour dirty water on China and unreasonably suppress Chinese companies, China has made a strong counterattack. Liu Pengyu, spokesman of the Chinese Embassy in the United States, said that the US side is extremely irresponsible to draw conclusions without effective evidence, and China firmly opposes and cracks down on all forms of cyber attacks in accordance with the law.
In addition, the Chinese Embassy in the UK also issued a statement that the British side is malicious and defamatory, and the Chinese side firmly opposes and strongly condemns it, and has lodged solemn representations with the British side. The UK has unfounded hype up China's cyber attacks and even announced sanctions, and it is only natural that China will make the necessary response to the UK's actions.
Yellen
In addition to the United States and Britain, New Zealand also participated in this anti-China farce. New Zealand's foreign minister declared that the cyber hacking of the New Zealand parliament in 2021 showed that such foreign interference was unacceptable because of China's connections, and that Singapore has urged China not to carry out such activities.
In the face of New Zealand's dancing with the United States, the Chinese Embassy in New Zealand strongly refuted it, saying that China resolutely rejects the groundless and irresponsible accusations, and has lodged solemn representations with the New Zealand side to express its strong dissatisfaction and resolute opposition. Non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries is China's fundamental principle, and it is hoped that Singapore will implement its long-proud independent foreign policy.
It is worth mentioning that Australia, which rushed to the front line of resistance against China in the past, did not follow this time, but kept its commitment to China. So why did Australia suddenly make the change?
Five Eyes Alliance
First of all, this shows that the Australian side has listened to Foreign Minister Wang Yi's words and put them into action. Last week, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi visited Australia for the first time in many years and held the seventh round of the China-Australia Diplomatic and Strategic Dialogue.
During his meeting with the Australian Prime Minister, Foreign Minister Wang Yi said that the obstacles encountered in China-Australia relations have been overcome one by one, and China-Australia relations have achieved a second important transformation. Now that China-Australia relations have a clear direction forward, we should move forward firmly, without hesitation, hesitation or reversal, and work together to create a bright future for bilateral relations.
Albanese pledged that the China-Australia relationship should not be defined by differences and differences, and that the two sides should seek common interests as much as possible. This time, the Five Eyes Alliance is attacking China, and Australia is not following, which is the best interpretation of this sentence.

Second, the Albanese government understands that the restoration of China-Australia relations is not easy to come by, and there is no room for reversal. The Morrison government's sabotage of China-Australia relations can still be explained as the actions of the Liberal Party, distancing itself from the Labour Party. But if the Albanese authorities go back to the old ways, it will inevitably undermine what little trust China and Australia have.
This time, Foreign Minister Wang Yi visited Australia and asked to meet former Australian Prime Minister Keating by name. Keating, on the other hand, belongs to the Labour Party and is a senior Albanese party colleague. At the same time, Keating also supports Sino-Australian relations and opposes Australia's entry into "Aukus".
In one episode, during Foreign Minister Wang Yi's visit to Australia, Australia's trade minister said he was not sure whether the United States was Australia's most trusted ally.
China-Australia relations
In the end, the Sino-Australian trade has finally come back to life, Canberra doesn't want to mess up, and this is an opportunity to grab orders from New Zealand. During the China-Australia meeting, Foreign Minister Wang Yi said that driven by the improvement of China-Australia relations, China is willing to take a more positive attitude to properly resolve some outstanding cases, and the wine case has been properly handled, and China will release the final ruling at the end of the month.
There is no doubt that now that New Zealand has joined the ranks of the United States and Britain in provoking China, Australia can wait for an opportunity to regain the stolen Chinese orders.
The development of China-Australia relations is in the common interests of the two countries, and it is precisely under the impetus of national interests that the Albanese government has made a rational decision not to follow the same path as the United States.
