    Albanese to visit China during CIIE, expected to boost trade exchanges and start new chapter of bilateral ties

    By Xu Keyue

    Published: Oct 22, 2023 10:27 PM

    "The visit of Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese will not only be about warming up China-Australia relations, but also open a new chapter and set the tone for future bilateral ties, Chinese analysts said, as Albanese said he will visit China in early November and meet with the country's top leader, announcing the trip hours before he departed for the US to meet with President Joe Biden.

    The Chinese visit dates were confirmed the same day as the Chinese Ministry of Commerce confirmed that Beijing had reached an agreement with Canberra on a "proper resolution" of trade disputes over wine and wind towers after similar announcements were made by Australia.

    "China and Australia are important trading partners to each other, and China is willing to continue through dialogue and negotiation, working together to advance the stable and healthy development of our bilateral economic and trade relationship," the ministry said in a statement.

    According to Australian media outlet ABC News, Albanese will become the first Australian prime minister to visit China in seven years when he travels to Beijing and Shanghai on November 4-7.

    The Chinese side has not yet confirmed Albanese's visit.

    "It's in Australia's interest to have good relations with China," Albanese told reporters at Australian Parliament House in Canberra on Sunday.

    Albanese's visit to China has both political and economic motivations, Chen Hong, president of the Chinese Association of Australian Studies and director of the Australian Studies Center at East China Normal University, told the Global Times on Sunday.

    Former Australian Labor Prime Minister Gough Whitlam made a historic visit to China on October 31, 1973 following the establishment of diplomatic relations with China in 1972. Fifty years later, Albanese clearly wants to pay tribute to his predecessor's contribution to the China-Australia relationship and follow in his footsteps, Chen believes.

    In terms of economic motivation, Albanese decided to visit China during the sixth China International Import Expo (CIIE) in Shanghai as the cornerstone of China-Australia relations is economic and trade ties, Chen noted.

    "Both politically and economically, this visit holds significant importance," the expert said. It is expected that both sides will strategically plan and set the tone for the future of bilateral relations in the next 50 years, he predicted.

    The most important significance of Albanese's visit is not just about warming up bilateral ties, but it marks a new chapter, Chen said.

    Some analysts believe that Albanese's potential China visit to China can be seen as withstanding pressure from both domestic and foreign sources, such as opposition from the US and anti-China forces within Australia.

    Chen said the Albanese administration has demonstrated more political wisdom and strategic vision compared with the previous administration. By announcing the visit to China before his visit to the US, it shows that Albanese does not want the influence of the US to disrupt his schedule to visit China, Chen added.

    He continued that Australia has always lacked an independent foreign policy, and the US-Australia alliance is undoubtedly the cornerstone of its foreign policy. However, in the process, Albanese seeks to carve out more independent space for Australia.

    Albanese will travel to the US from October 23 to 26 for an official visit hosted by Biden in Washington, DC. They will discuss regional stability and security, AUKUS, strengthening cooperation in science and technology and the importance of together shaping an open, stable and prosperous the so-called Indo-Pacific, according to the official website of the Australian prime minster.

    When Albanese visits the US next week, the main topic of discussion is likely to be AUKUS, as since its announcement in 2021, AUKUS has failed to deliver almost anything, making it still an "empty promise," Chen said.

    Australia hopes to materialize and crystallize AUKUS, turning it into something substantial. However, considering the significant amount of effort and attention especially on military and defense the US has put into the Ukraine crisis and the Palestine-Israel conflict, it raises doubts about whether Australia's needs can still be taken into account in time, according to the analyst."

    Chinese FM's calls with Israel, Palestine officials mark China's consistent, fair stance

    By GT staff reporters

    Published: Oct 24, 2023 07:49 PM

    "Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi had phone calls with foreign ministers of both Israel and Palestine, during which Wang called for preventing the conflict from further escalation and guaranteeing the basic living conditions of the people in Gaza. Experts said the move is more evidence that China's stance toward the conflict has remained consistent and clear, and that it opposes violence, attacks on civilians of any country and encourages peaceful negotiation.

    Following Wang's calls on Monday, foreign media began another round of hyping his mention of Israel's right to self-defense, which experts said signals Western countries' intention to draw China deeper into the conflict, as they are envious Beijing's unbiased stance is well received in the Middle East. In contrast with China's impartiality, the US is fanning the flames and laying bare the double standards in regard to the Israel-Palestine conflict.

    The current Israel-Palestine conflict affects the whole world and involves a major choice between war and peace, Wang, also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, said in a phone conversation with Israel's Foreign Minister Eli Cohen on Monday.

    China is deeply concerned about the continued escalation of the conflict and the worsening situation and is deeply saddened by the large number of civilian casualties caused by the conflict, Wang said. China condemns all acts that harm civilians and opposes any violation of international law, Wang said.

    All countries have the right to self-defense, but they should respect international humanitarian law and protect the safety of civilians, he added.

    Israel's Foreign Minister Eli Cohen introduced Israel's position and security concerns on the Israel-Palestine conflict when he spoke with Wang.

    In a separate phone call with Palestinian Foreign Minister Riyad Al-Maliki the same day, Wang said what the people of Gaza need most is security, food and medicine, rather than war, weapons and ammunition. China strongly condemns and opposes all acts that harm civilians and violate the international law, and calls for an immediate cease-fire to stop the war and guarantee the most basic living conditions of the people in Gaza, said Wang.

    Jumping on the phone call with Israel's foreign minister, many foreign media, including India's NDTV, began yet another round of hype saying Wang's mention of Israel's right to self-defense marked a shift in China's stance on the conflict.

    Zhu Weilie, director of the Middle East Studies Institute at Shanghai International Studies University, denied such speculation. He told the Global Times that China's stance toward the conflict remains consistent and clear, that is it opposes any form of attacks on civilians, as well as unilateral attacks on other countries.

    When asked if Wang's remarks can be interpreted as Israel has the right to defend the country from Hamas' attack, Mao Ning, spokesperson of China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said at a Tuesday briefing that the foreign minister has made it very clear that although all countries have the right to self-defense, they should respect international humanitarian law and protect the safety of civilians.

    Mao said that China does not pursue any selfish interests on the Palestinian issue and sincerely hopes that the issue can be comprehensively and fairly resolved on the basis of the two-state solution, so that the legitimate security concerns of all parties can be truly and thoroughly addressed.

    In contrast with China's effort to calm down the white-hot crisis, the US, which has the most power to curb Israel's revenge, is fanning the flames by doubling down on its military presence in the Middle East.

    In an interview with Bloomberg Television last week, US Ambassador to China Nicholas Burns called on the Chinese government to denounce Hamas, citing Beijing's stance toward the group as yet another challenge in fraught ties between China and the US.

    It is the old US tactic of wanting to draw China deeper into the current crisis, partly out of Washington's jealousy over how China's just stance over the Israel-Palestine conflict is well received in the Middle East, at a time when its own Middle East policy has been proved a failure repeatedly and it has become a "persona non grata" in this region, Ding Long, a professor at the Middle East Studies Institute of Shanghai International Studies University, told the Global Times.

    "Can the US elaborate on what practical result will be achieved by condemning Hamas? And why is it holding China responsible for the conflict that is partly a result of Western colonization and the US' long-term biased Middle East policy?" asked Ding.

    Chinese experts said that the escalation of the Israel-Palestine conflict is also causing a headache for the US and the other Western countries as it lays bare their double standards on civilian casualties.

    Protests against Israel and calls for the US to rein in Israel's attacks in the Gaza Strip have created mounting pressure on the Biden administration. The New York Times cited senior officials from the US as saying on Monday that the Biden administration is concerned that Israel lacks achievable military objectives in Gaza, and that the Israel Defense Forces are not yet ready to launch a ground invasion with a plan that can work.

    The mounting public opinion is that the US reaps what one has sown, as its double standards have not only been laid bare among the whole world, it is poisoning the already fragmented US society, Ding said. "

    Gotta love the chinkies:

    UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Myanmar’s military has imported at least $1 billion worth of weapons and related material from Russia, China and other countries since its February 2021 coup, some of which it has used to carry out atrocities against civilians, according to a U.N. report released Wednesday.
    Also the chinkies:

    Expressing concern over the escalating armed conflict, China on Tuesday urged Myanmar's junta regime to ensure security of the border region.
    “The Chinese side is highly concerned about the conflict in northern Myanmar,” said Mao Ning, spokeswoman for China's Foreign Ministry, referring to the armed conflict between rebels and the military junta in Myanmar's northern Shan state.

    Mr. Andrews recalled that the Government of Singapore has stated that its policy is to, “prohibit the transfer of arms to Myanmar” and that it has decided “not to authorise the transfer of dual-use items which have been assessed to have potential military application to Myanmar.”
    “I implore leaders of Singapore to seize the information within this report and enforce its policies to the maximum extent possible,” the Special Rapporteur said.
    And dual citizenship.

    Obviously your definition of "done quite well" somewhat ignores HK, Tibet, the Uighurs, suppression of free speech and the fact the place is run by a fucking dictator.

    Ever lived or worked in the PRC Harry? I have and from what I saw back in the early 80s, they have "done quite well" for their citizens since then. You don't like their political system. Fair nuff but the average citizen is better off in near all the areas of which citizens in all nations care about.

    Interesting that a combination of the US, EU and India will set up infrastructure financing in light of Chinese success with BRI?

    I wonder if the new organisation will be quick to restructure debt in exchange for infrastructure rights. Sri Lanka is publicly happy with such arrangements, which will grant certain access to new Port and harbout facilities in a very important sea route for Chinese exports.

    Will Biden discuss this when he visits China?

    Is that the port that they borrowed from Chinkystan to build with chinky manpower and materials, and which nearly bankrupted them?

    "Belt and Owed" and all that.

    Fucking right it's "very important for Chinese exports", it's fuck all use to the people of Sri Lanka though, as the chinkies now control it having got Sri Lanka to pay for it.

    Sri Lanka is publicly happy
    No, the crooks that run Sri Lanka and made fortunes from this bent deal are "publicly happy".
