China's warning worked, Australia didn't dare to seize Darwin Port, the prime minister will visit China, wanting to discuss face-to-face with China
On local time on the 7th, Hong Kong media "South China Morning Post" cited sources who said that Australian Prime Minister Albanese will make his second official visit to China next week.
In addition to conventional topics such as economy and trade, during the visit, he will also talk about the Darwin Port transaction issue.
So what is the significance of the Australian Prime Minister's visit to China again, and how should we view the issues he wants to discuss with China?
Firstly, in the context where the United States is imposing tariffs on the world, sucking blood from the global to benefit the United States, China has become an important partner for countries around the world to maintain economic growth.
For example, not only does the Australian Prime Minister want to visit China, but French President Macron also clearly expressed his expectation to visit China again when he met with Foreign Minister Wang Yi.
This actually profoundly indicates that the Chinese market has become a delicacy that all countries are vying for.
However, although some heads of state want to visit China, whether they can go or when they can go, there are still some signals worth exploring inside.
For example, Trump has always wanted to visit China, but the problem is why hasn't it been realized yet?
This is actually because Trump has not truly shown sincerity, and even repeatedly created obstacles for the development of Sino-US relations. In this context, if Trump doesn't think about changing himself, his desire to visit China will only be postponed continuously.
If the Australian Prime Minister can achieve the visit to China next week,
then this will fully indicate that the foundation of Sino-Australian relations is generally good, or is moving in the right direction.
We believe that both sides should be able to reach more substantive cooperation through this opportunity.
At the same time, although the Australian Prime Minister has previously hinted that he will discuss the Darwin Port transaction issue with China,
but what he wants to discuss is one thing, and whether China is willing to take up this issue is another matter.
In short, China's position on this issue is very clear, and we have already stated our position.
That is, when the port was in loss, Australia rented it out, now when the port is profitable, it wants to recover it, which is morally inappropriate.
Therefore, even though the Australian Prime Minister wants to discuss this issue face-to-face with China, it does not mean that we must give him this favor.
Moreover, as we mentioned earlier, when Trump messed up the global economy, China has become a stabilizing force for the global economy, and countries are actively seeking to strengthen cooperation with China.
In other words, Australia is actually in need of China now.
Given this, Australia has no capital to be overbearing on the Darwin Port issue.
Of course, why is Australia determined to reclaim Darwin Port?
The so-called "security concerns" is just an excuse.
The main reasons are two.
First, balancing the Sino-US relationship, simply put, it is the US behind the scenes and the pro-American forces in Australia pushing, therefore, in order to please the US, the Australian government wants to make a move on Darwin Port.
Second, although the Australian authorities seek to strengthen cooperation with China, it does not mean that the "anti-China" forces at home have disappeared.
The Australian authorities want to reclaim Darwin Port, also to their own political support rate, seeking to strengthen cooperation with China while showing a so-called tough attitude towards China.
But we still hope that the Australian government understands, once this balance is not handled well, they may end up losing the big melon without getting the small sesame seed.
