While key allies are moving closer to China, the United States and Australia are nervous, and China's maturity is commendable.
Civil strife broke out in Papua New Guinea, and PNG** showed a mature attitude in dealing with it, which laid the groundwork for future cooperation with China. The Chinese Embassy lodged representations with PNG on this matter, demanding that the lives and property of Chinese citizens be safeguarded. After PNG used force to maintain order, the cooperation between China and PNG has ushered in more possibilities.
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has publicly stated that Australia has a close relationship with PNG, but his rhetoric has expressed concern about PNG's engagement with China. Australia has long viewed Pacific island nations as its sphere of influence and is uneasy about China's rise in the region. PNG's security cooperation with Australia has always existed, but the emergence of China has made Australia nervous.
The reason why the United States and Australia are nervous is essentially that they are worried that PNG may completely turn to China and draw a line with the United States and Australia. This concern stems from history, such as the Solomon Islands' signing of a security agreement with China. PNG Foreign Minister Tkachenko made it clear that PNG is not a "wall-rider" and will not do anything that jeopardizes US-Australian defense relations. China is equally important to PNG, and the two countries have shown maturity in their cooperation.
Chinese spokesman Wang Wenbin said that China has always adhered to the principles of equality, mutual respect, win-win cooperation, openness and inclusiveness in cooperation with PNG. China is willing to promote cooperation in relevant fields and promote common development. Wang's remarks show that China views security cooperation as a matter of equality and mutual benefit, rather than a means to pursue regional hegemony. This attitude is expected to lay a long-term and stable foundation for China-Brazil cooperation.
China's cooperation with PNG is based on equality and mutual benefit, emphasizing common development rather than pursuing unipolar hegemony. Compared with Australia's concerns, China's cooperation with Pacific island countries is more pragmatic and focuses on building long-term friendly relations. In the future, China will also cooperate with more Pacific island countries, which is inevitable due to the changing times.
