Australian Prime Minister Morrison rejected the Chinese ambassador to Australia, Xiao Qian, and called on China to restart the ministerial dialogue.
According to the Chinese website of the Australian Special Broadcasting Service Company (SBS), the spokesman for the Australian Prime Minister's office has previously confirmed that Morrison has not met with Xiao Qian, and said that Foreign Minister Payne Payne and Xiao on the 9th of this month and Xiao Xiao Xiao and Xiao on the 9th of this month and Xiao Xiao Xiao Xiao and Xiao on the 9th of this month and Xiao Xiao.Thousands of meetings are more appropriate.
Morrison responded yesterday (26th) that the foreign relations between the two countries could not be thawed before the ban on the dismissal of the ministerial meeting in China."As long as China continues to refuse to talk to the Australian minister and the Prime Minister, I think that (refusal to see the ambassador) is a completely reasonable reaction."
an anonymous government source revealed that Xiao Qian saw itXun's request may be a higher level from the Chinese government.
It is reported that the situation of the Australian ambassador to see Australia is relatively rare, but Australia has set up related channels for some countries.The United States, Britain, Japan, and New Zealand have officially followed Prime Ministers, and China and Indonesia have also received this special treatment.The four prime ministers before Morrison had met with the Chinese ambassador within his tenure, but because the prime minister's status was high, the meeting was hosted by the Foreign Minister.
Australia banned China Telecom giant Huawei from participating in the construction of the country's fifth -generation mobile communication network (5G) in 2018. Morrison also proposed an independent investigation of the source of coronary virus in the previous year.These incidents have led to the continued deterioration of Sino -Australian relations, and there are still no signs of improvement.
Australian Morning News reported earlier reports that Payne explained the position of Australia in Australia when meeting with Xiao Qian, including the importance of proper ministerial and other high -level dialogue contact between China and Australia.
On the other hand, Cheng Lei, a Chinese -American journalist in China who was detained in China for suspected leakage of Chinese national secrets in China, will be tried in Beijing on Thursday (31st).This case may also add variables to China -Australia relations.
