The turmoil in China and Australia has recently attracted people's attention, especially the issue of double anti-tax on Australian wine and lobster. China's Ministry of Commerce announced that it has accepted the Australian Wine Association's application for review to decide whether to abolish the double anti-tax on Australian wine. Australia's Minister Farrell said he was "very confident" that China would abolish the anti-dumping tax early next year. This statement has aroused people's attention and expectations for China-Australia cooperation.
First, Australia's demands are primarily based on practical needs. In the past few years, during the downturn between China and Australia, the Australian side is deeply aware of the importance of the Chinese market to it. Australia's high-level frequent calls to China for the lifting of tariffs reflect Australia's eagerness to resume China-Australia cooperation and confirm China's importance to Australia. Second, Australia's positive confidence in the current China-Australia relationship stems from two reasons.
On the one hand, the Australian side believes that the abolition of the double anti-tax is an inevitable trend, because the China-Australia cooperative relationship has shown a positive development trend, and the Ministry of Commerce of China has accepted the review application of the Australian side, which has increased the confidence of the Australian side. On the other hand, Farrell's statement may also be exerting pressure on China, hoping to speed up the cooperation process, which is also a demand of the Australian side. However, the stability of China-Australia** cooperation does not depend solely on the statement of the Australian side.
Australia needs more concrete actions to prove its sincerity, not just rhetoric. China is willing to restore friendly and stable relations, but only if Australia shows sincerity and concrete actions to meet the needs of cooperation between the two sides. Overall, the resumption of China-Australia cooperation requires the joint efforts of both China and Australia. Australia needs more concrete actions to promote the warming of China-Australia relations, so as to achieve smoother cooperation between the two sides.
Only when the Australian side shows more sincerity and concrete actions will the resumption of China-Australia cooperation be possible. It is hoped that Australia's positive expectations for China-Australia cooperation can be translated into practical actions, so as to promote the healthy development of China-Australia relations.
