Australia has gone back on its word and torn off its hypocritical mask.

In response to Australia's claim that it will reclaim the operating rights of Darwin Port from Landbridge Group of China, foreign media reported two pieces of news today: First, Chinese Ambassador to Australia, Xiao Qian, clearly stated that China has helped Darwin Port turn losses into profits in ten years, and it is inappropriate for Australia to reclaim at this time. Second, a US private equity company is preparing to bid for Darwin Port. The co-founder of this private equity, Fanberg, was appointed as the US Deputy Minister of Defense in March this year.

Ambassador Xiao's words hit the nail on the head: "Rent out when loss-making, take back when profitable." Australia's act of breaking contracts regardless of morality and killing the goose that lays the golden egg is indeed despicable, which is essentially a blatant violation of international spirit of contract.

This incident of Darwin Port is consistent with the transfer of the Panama Canal port operation rights owned by Hong Kong's CK Hutchison, where an American company also took over. In both events, the United States has used "geopolitical security" as an excuse to seize strategic assets, while countries like Australia and Panama have completely submitted to the United States.

The风波of Darwin Port also exposes the betrayal of contracts and geopolitical calculations under the collusion between Australia and the United States, tearing off the hypocritical mask of the West's "rule hegemony": so-called "free market" is just a pretext for the law of the jungle, and so-called "national security" is actually a tool to suppress competitors. The real purpose of the United States and Australia is to make this port a military supply hub of the "Indo-Pacific Strategy". However, the one who suffers in the end is Australia, not only sacrificing commercial credibility, but also the livelihood interests of residents in the north of Australia such as fishery and tourism will be the first to be affected.
