People have to pay attention to how the situation develops, but we are really worried that reasonable national security considerations may bring further consequences, weaken economic cooperation, mutual dependence, and mutual trust. In the endAs a result, the world is unstable. "
For the same subject, Australian Prime Minister Albanis said that he hopes that he is a government with mature diplomatic relations with the world, and does not regard diplomacy as an opportunity for domestic political scores."I have publicly said that we should cooperate with China as much as possible, but if necessary, we must adhere to the national interests of Australia."
