Wang Wei Wen: Sino -Australian relations have been completely rainy?

China and Australia have been evil for four years from 2018 to 2022, and in May last year, they re -controlled the Australian Labor Party.After 18 months of repairs by the high -level two countries, the Australian Prime Minister visited China again after seven years.

The Prime Minister of China Australia has suspended the four -year annual meeting in Beijing on Tuesday (November 8th) in Beijing to fully restore the strategic dialogue between the two countries and other intergovernmental mechanisms.Chinese Prime Minister Li Qiang also said that Australian Prime Minister Albanis is "old friend" and "handsome guy".The Australian government's diplomatic attitude, and the relationship between the two countries appeared on the surface.

Although Albanis's visit to China has been accepted by high specifications and China Australia has resumed normal contact, whether the tension between the two countries is completely turned over, it may be too early, and geopolitical concerns will continue to test the Beijing and Khamberra’s from Kanberra.Political determination, patience and wisdom.

Judging from the public information released by the highest levels of China -Australia after the meeting in Beijing, the two countries are currently actively looking at bilateral relations and restarted. They hope to drive accelerated recovery of economic and trade cultural exchanges through political dialogue.Differential differences.But in the seemingly harmonious atmosphere, it is not difficult to find the caution and reservation of both sides.

Chinese official Monday (November 7) met with Albanis in the Great Hall of the People in Beijing The efforts of China -Australia have improved bilateral investment in the past year and a half, referring to the correct path to the recovery of exchanges in various fields and embarking on development relations.

But Chinese officials also expressed cautiously, reminding Albanis to be alert to "small circle" and "small group", and believe that the two countries should be alert to "attempts to mess with the Asia -Pacific region".China ’s Indo -Pacific Strategy also hinted at Australia, a member country of member states such as the US -Japan -India -Australian Safe Security Dialogue (QUAD), Australia, Britain, and the United States, and the United States, Britain, and the United States.It hinders the further stumbling block of China -Australia relations.

In recent years, there are several main game fields in Chinese and Western, including the Taiwan Strait, the South China Sea, and the South Pacific.As a large country in the South Pacific, Australia cannot sit on the scope of Beijing to continue to expand its influence within its geographical forces. At the same time, it is impossible to choose to choose not to stand in the Chinese and Western games.The result of the selection is its security and foreign policy, which is continuously affected by the United States' position in China. Sino -Australian relations are continued to be shrouded in geopolitical shadows.

In the meeting with Chinese leaders this week, Albanis has continuously emphasized the importance of communicating and controlling geopolitical competition through dialogue and controlling geopolitical competition, and also emphasized the importance of establishing guardrails and military cooperation with Chinese officials.This is not only consistent with the diplomatic expositions of the Biden government, but also revealed to a certain extent that concerns about the Sino -US region in the Indo -Pacific region.

China and the United States have continued to accelerate the high -level dialogue since mid -June this year. The heads of state of the two countries reported on November 15 to hold a face -to -face talks in San Francisco.However, the progress of the two countries in high -level military recovery is still slow, and the United States has not slowed down the siege of Beijing in the Indo -Pacific region.

U.S. Secretary of State Brills and Minister of Defense Austin will go to New Delhi this week to hold a "2+2" talks with India, one of the members of Quad to talk about China and India -Pacific affairs.Callein, deputy minister of the US Department of Defense, will also lead the senior delegation to Australia this week to see the progress of AUKUS.

China and the United States are expected to be held in the Cook Islands this week Pacific Island Country Forum , continue to compete for regional impactforce.Albanis has also traveled from Beijing to hold the largest annual meeting with the leaders of the South Pacific Island country.

China signed a security agreement with the Solomon Islands last April last year, which continued to trigger countries in Australia, New Zealand and other regional countries that Beijing may establish military bases in the country.After the United States and Australia, it continued to consolidate its influence in the South Pacific to compete against China.

Australia announced on Wednesday and announced the dispatch of hundreds of police officers to the Solomon Islands to increase security for the Pacific Games held next week. China not only donated the main gymnasium for this sports meeting, but also said that it would provide assistance to the conference.The new security dispute is the next observation point for the trend of China -Australia relations.

On the other hand, the Sino -Australian trade dispute has not yet been fully turned, and Albanis has not brought back more substantial results from Beijing.China still maintains restrictions on Australian products such as wine and lobster. Australian exporters lose about $ 1.3 billion (S $ 1.76 billion) each year for this year, and continue to feel the "economic stick" in Beijing's hands;Completely revoke restrictions on Australia's loss of Chinese products.

The Australian government currently lacks the public opinion foundation in China that continues to improve Australian -China relations, especially when China and the United States have contradictions. The latest survey of the 24 people's views on China and the United States on Monday, showing that most people are announced on Monday.The support for the United States is far more than China. Among them, more than half of Australia's (52 %) respondents support the United States and only 12 % support China.
