According to the announced diplomatic itinerary, on December 20, a very special female foreign minister will come to China.
It is really special, at least three points.
The first is her female identity.In this world, there are not many foreign ministers.The second is her Chinese identity.Although from Western countries, her father is a Hakka, and she looks very Chinese.The third is that she comes from a very special country.Speaking of which, this is the first time that the country's first minister has visited China since 2019. It is also the first formal talks in Beijing for the first time in Beijing in 2018.
This country is Australia, which is not too far from us; the visit is Huang Yingxian, Australian Foreign Minister.
Why is this?
I believe you know.
There are no small things in diplomacy, and details are important.
A very interesting detail is the date of visiting China.
December 21 this year is the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Australia.Huang Yingxian should arrive one day in advance.According to the itinerary released by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China, she will meet with Wang Yi on December 21, and the two co -host the sixth China -Australian diplomacy and strategic dialogue.
I have a strong feeling that Sino -Australian relations are happening subtle and major changes.
After Albanis became the Prime Minister of Australia, a series of more positive phenomena appeared.Recently, at least three waves of personal point of view.
The first wave, during the G20 summit in Bali, China -Australia leaders met.Speaking of which, this is the first official meeting between the Australian Prime Minister and the Supreme Leader of China with the top 6 years of the epidemic.
This time I talked well.
Chinese leaders have pointed out that China -Australia relations have long been at the forefront of China's relations with developed countries for a long time, which is worth cherishing.In the past few years, China -Australia relations have encountered difficulties, which we do not want to see.There is never a fundamental conflict between China and Australia ...
Please note that it has been at the forefront of China and developed countries for a long time, and there is never a fundamental conflict between China and Australia.
The relationship was very unusual before, but it was sad to develop to this point.
Albanis also immediately stated that Australia and China will soon usher in the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations.Australia -China comprehensive strategic partnership meets the common interests of both parties.The Australian side is willing to uphold the original intention of the construction of diplomatic relations between Australia and China that year, and in accordance with the spirit of mutual respect and equal cooperation, work with China to reduce differences through constructive and frank dialogue ...
The attitude is also very clear. It will soon usher in the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations. We must "uphold the original intention of the establishment of diplomatic relations" and reduce the difference.
I remember that many foreign media at that time commented that the first official meeting in the past 6 years will help the thawing and restoration of the development of Sino -Australian relations.
This is the first wave, followed by the second wave. In Bangkok, Thailand, a very positive statement in Albanis.
At that time, a reporter asked Albanis: How do you view Taiwan to join CPTPP and do it support Taiwan to join?
Albanis immediately answered: CPTPP is a cooperative agreement signed between recognized countries.Taiwan does not belong to this category. It is now participating in APEC as an economy.(Australia) Both parties support a Chinese policy.We support the status quo on the Taiwan issue, and we don't want to see any unilateral measures that change the status quo in the Taiwan Strait.
What do you mean?
According to the interpretation of the Australian media, Albanis's meaning is clear. Australia will not support Taiwan to join CPTTP. Compared with the previous government in Australia, "this is a change in position."
This is right.
Obviously, this is a positive signal issued by the Australian government.
The third wave is the Australian Foreign Minister visited China.
For this visit, Albanis and Huang Yingxian also issued a joint statement, saying: China is already one of the world's largest economies and Australia's largest trading partner.Bring huge benefits, "Australia seeks to establish a stable relationship with China; we will cooperate in the place where we can cooperate and do not agree to promote national interests."
It really is a politician.
This also fully illustrates the attention of Australia for this visit.It must be seen that this special visit is not to visit for access, nor is it a meeting with other meetings. It is to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries and hold diplomatic and strategic dialogue.
China -Australia relations are really interesting.China has always been the largest market in Australia, none of them.Without China, the Australian economy has long been in a decline.
But I never expected that the first few Australian politicians were the Prime Ministers and especially liked to be in some issues. I remember that the cause of deterioration of Sino -Australian relations at that time was that the Australian side had all kinds of national security reasons for various national security reasons.The demonization became the first country to openly ban Huawei from participating in 5G network construction.
A country that China thinks is very friendly, this is really incredible.What is even more helpless is that the Australian side subsequently took the initiative to hand in the United States to invest in the United States. Various discredit attacks China. In the end, the relationship between Sino -Australian relations deteriorated sharply and made people really understand.
Now, a big circle has been turned and returned to the beginning.Reasonable politicians finally began to face reality.
Finally, what do you think?
Two points.
First, Huang Yingxian is not easy.
It is not simple to say that she is not directly related to China -Australia relations, nor her unique sexual orientation, but she is the first Chinese female minister in Australian history.
She does not avoid her Chinese identity.Looking at some materials, she once said, "I cherish my family and cultural foundation, and I am very proud and proud of my Chinese descent." She also said that she learned from her grandmother to the spirit of tenacity and indomitable.
In Huang Yingxian's words: "My grandmother is a small woman, but she is full of unyielding spirit. She is a Hakka and my grandfather's second wife. When the war (World War II) spread to Malaysia ...Most people died in war, and she could only support my father and other children by virtue of the perseverance and desire of survival by virtue of the perseverance and desire of survival. "
This kind of strength is the common quality of many overseas Chinese.
Of course, we have to see that she is the Australian Foreign Minister and is the internal affairs of Australia.
I always feel that we must dialectically watch Chinese (or China Tong) as foreign dignitaries.In a good place, they are more familiar with China, knowing and knowing that they sometimes deal with them better; bad places, they are sometimes too familiar with China. If they wear prejudice glasses, the policy is too bad, and the relationship between the two parties is even worse.
I hope Huang Yingxian is the former.Of course, behind Huang Yingxian is Albanis, this is the key.
Second, we don't expect too much about Australia.
Expectation is too high, often disappointment will be greater.Let's not forget that Australia is one of the five -eye alliance, a member of the so -called four -nation mechanism, or a key role of the infamous Aukus (nicknamed "Australia Crying").
Australia and the United States are the same as branches, and they can be behind France, let alone China.We still keep a little moreBe wary.
Of course, we are not afraid.
It must be seen that Australia has recently actively adjusted its policies to China and has domestic political factors. Finally, it has realized the rotation of political parties and aware of the huge price brought by the wrong policy; but it is also related to our resolute struggle.
This world, there is no way.Without a spirit of struggle, it can only be bullied and insulted.
But abuse and intimidation are by no means fighting.Dare to struggle, good at struggle, sometimes tit -for -tat, returning teeth with teeth, but more often, you still have to play, be confident, calm, have strategies, and give the other party space.
The ice between China Australia is finally melting.Huang Yingxian's visit is always a good thing.However, it is impossible to solve the divergence of couples overnight, not to mention a little patience between the two important countries.
I just reviewed the toss in the past few years. I don't know Australian politicians.
In this world, there are many things, and the bells must be tied to the bell. Don't really become "a long time hate, and look back on a century."For Australia, let's listen to it and watch it.
