(Perth Comprehensive) Australian Prime Minister Morrison pointed out on Sunday that if China set up a military base in the Solomon Islands, it will touch the "red line" of the Australian government.
The outside world criticized that Morrison was not fast enough to prevent Solomon from signing a security cooperation agreement with Beijing.Morris said at a press conference in Darwin that day that he had to avoid the determination of the Solomon Islands to establish a naval base with the United States and was recognized by Prime Minister Solomon.
He said that Sogovre had promised him that there would be no military bases in the Solomon Islands."This is a common concern, not only in Australia, but the Australian and regional governments."
However, Morrison did not disclose what he would do if China announced the establishment of a military base in the Solomon Islands.
Campbell, a coordinator of the National Security Council, led a delegation to Solomon last Friday to conduct a "substantial discussion" with Sogovre on the security agreement on the China Institute.Japan also dispatched Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Uesugi Kentaro to Solomon on Monday to talk to local officials with local officials.
The Australian Opposition Party Labor described that the China Institute agreement was "the worst failure of Australia's foreign policy in the Pacific since the end of World War II."
The Labor Minister of the Labor Party, O'Conner, told Australia Radio on Monday that he would ask the government to report that if China crosses the "red line", what actions will the Australian government take.
He said: "We have to use such a word, but the fact is that it is too late and too little, we should take more action."
Australia will hold a national election on the 21st next month, and the Morrison government is seeking re -election.Although Australia is currently stronger and the unemployment rate has reached a record low, Morrison's middle right government is still behind the Labor Party in polls.
