Australian scholar: Australia was blinded by prejudice against China and colonialism

Hong Kong's "South China Morning Post" June 19th article, original topic: was blinded by the prejudice and colonial mentality of China. Australia could not see the overall situation of the development of the Pacific Island country not long ago, the security agreement signed by the Solomon Islands and China caught Australia; Until now, Australia has not recovered from Beijing's charm of the Pacific Island country.

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi paid a 10 -day visit to the South Pacific last month. China has proposed a wide range of proposals, hoping to gather 10 Pacific islands to develop a cooperative environment for mutual connection on the basis of mutual respect and expanding geographical economic relations. However, Australia is still in colonialism and believes that China entering the Pacific is a violation of its "backyard".

The government of Australia and New Prime Minister Albonese tried to soften his predecessor's foreign policy and manifested himself as a reformist overnight.

Judging from its practice in the Middle East and Africa, China is willing to maintain friendly relations with all countries. This model is copied to the Pacific region to help revitalize local infrastructure and improve economic level. Unfortunately, Australia seems to be determined to challenge China's legality in the region, blindly demonize and slander China's practical infrastructure and security initiative.

Over the years, Australia has been in the South Pacific region. Australia and the new foreign minister Huang Yingxian said that the Pacific island country should decide their own safety, but urged them to consider the "consequences" of China's safety proposal.

Most of the South Pacific island countries have been independent for at least 40 years. Huang will call it "lost 10 years" in the last 10 years, especially in terms of climate action. This is the core issue related to the survival of these island nations. Australia has chosen a symbolic gesture and weak investment, rather than more practical measures, and does not care about the economic, climate, infrastructure and national defense needs of its neighboring countries.

With the rise of China, those developing countries that have expanded their wealth gap between themselves and developed countries have begun to regard Beijing as a practical alternative to prospering the future.

China wants to establish friendly relations with all countries, but countries seeking investment and investment for development in order to develop are not so much because of China's wishes, because it is because of the rough and new colonial attitude of the 21st century in Western countries. The inheritors of such attitudes clearly believe that developing countries do not know how to do the most in line with their own interests, and through symbolic gestures and "flying instruments aid" -money eventually falls into the consultant and company pockets of assistance projects to implement assistance projects. In -strengthen their thoughts.

Australia condemned the Solomon Islands to sign a security agreement with China, saying that it crossed the red line of the geographical strategy. This kind of faction is like the deputy sheriff of the United States, and it is not obedient to blame its subordinates.

Australian security agencies should abandon the empty language and attitude, stop self -righteous accusations of China, and advertise to the Pacific countries to be correct.

If these investment measures come from the United States, Canberra may be praised. However, because they are from China, the ingrained prejudice and the Cold War thinking make Australia unable to see the overall situation, that is, the good development of the Pacific island country.
