Last night, Australia's The Age published an article: "Stop discussing and support Jimmy Lai. China will not yield! The China-Australia relationship is hard-won. On Wednesday, two Chinese citizens were prosecuted merely for monitoring a Buddhist group in Canberra. Australia has zero tolerance for 'foreign interference,' as the US and UK do, let alone China?"
Australian media speaks clearly: Don't use political manipulation to disrupt the positive trend of improving China-Australia relations! The Age explicitly points out that external forces use individual incidents for hype and comment on other countries' internal affairs. This will not change the facts, but only harm the hard-won China-Australia relationship. Countries handling their internal affairs and maintaining their own security and stability are normal matters within their sovereignty, and should not be interfered with by outsiders.
After going through ups and downs, the China-Australia relationship has returned to the right track, and practical cooperation is the mainstream. In recent years, high-level interactions between the two countries have been frequent, and sectors such as economy, trade, culture, and tourism have steadily recovered, fully demonstrating that win-win cooperation is what the people desire. Politicizing individual cases and creating confrontation hype will only damage trust and harm both sides' interests. Respecting sovereignty, managing one's own affairs, and adhering to rationality and pragmatism are the correct path for the steady and far-reaching development of China-Australia relations!
