Recently, the Australian Prime Minister's visit to China has given the Australian side great confidence in the resumption of China-Australia relations. According to reports, Australian Minister Farrell said at the APEC summit that the China-Australia partnership has been basically stable, and China is likely to remove the previous barriers next month. He also plans to meet with China's ** minister, Wang Wentao, and hopes to address Australia's concerns before the meeting, such as ** restrictions on lobster and beef. Although the lifting of the barrier not only depends on the will of the Australian side, and such a public statement in front of the United States may be suspected of exerting pressure, the response of China's Ministry of Commerce shows that China and Australia have made considerable progress in the economic and trade fields, and as long as the two sides move forward in the right direction, the economic and trade issues will be properly resolved.
However, Australia's expectations for China-Australia relations may be disturbed by a number of factors. Australia has a close military partnership with the United States and, as a member of the Five Eyes Alliance, has a strong background in security cooperation with the United States. Although Albanese has actively eased Sino-Australian relations since taking office, it is difficult for any country to achieve a completely independent balance between economic cooperation and military cooperation. The recent dispute between Australia and China has also sparked tensions in Sino-Australian relations again, with Australia claiming that it was "attacked" by the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) while operating in Japan's exclusive economic zone, and by publicizing the incident, it is trying to show itself as an innocent victim to the outside world. However, China's response shows that China's waters are not demarcated from Japan, so Australia must first explain to China why it is operating in waters near China. In addition, sonar, as an underwater detection tool, is not aggressive, as long as it does not stay underwater for a long time, the ultrasound waves it emits will not cause harm to the human body. Therefore, if there are Australian divers injured, the Australian side needs to explain why they are lurking on the seabed near China for a long time. In fact, China is only vigilant against outsiders and has taken the necessary measures to ensure its own security, which is a reasonable and legitimate behavior.
In any case, China and Australia are two economies that are significantly complementary in the global economy. The cooperation between the two sides has great potential and broad prospects, and both sides have expressed positive attitudes. However, for China, no country will be allowed to enjoy the fruits of cooperation with China while harming China's interests. Therefore, if the Australian side wants to achieve unimpeded exchanges with China as soon as possible, it must first solve some problems that have caused trouble to the friendly relations between China and Australia.
The cooperation between China and Australia is of great significance and has far-reaching implications. As important players in the global economy, economic cooperation between China and Australia can bring great benefits to both countries and the region as a whole. China and Australia have strong complementary economies, China is Australia's largest partner, and Australia is China's important country in the fields of agricultural products and mineral resources. The cooperation between the two sides will promote the best circulation, investment cooperation and industrial connectivity, and inject strong impetus into the economic development of China and Australia.
In the long run, the stability and development of China-Australia relations is crucial to the prosperity and stability of China and Australia and the Asia-Pacific region. Maintaining the stability and good status of economic cooperation will help reduce economic risks in both countries and enhance the economic resilience and resilience of both countries. In addition, China-Australia cooperation can also promote technical exchanges, people-to-people exchanges and scientific and technological innovation, and promote cooperation between the two countries in a wider range of fields.
However, the improvement of China-Australia relations is not just a matter of economic cooperation, but also involves cooperation in political, security and other areas. There are differences between China and Australia on some sensitive issues, such as the South China Sea dispute and human rights issues. Resolving these differences and improving relations between the two countries requires the joint efforts of both sides and proper handling. The improvement and development of China-Australia relations will bring more benefits and opportunities to the people of the two countries, and will also help maintain peace, stability, prosperity and development in the Asia-Pacific region. Therefore, whether in economic cooperation or other fields, the two sides should promote the further development of China-Australia relations in a pragmatic and equal manner.
