My ambassador to correct the Australian media question: Don't use this word

On August 10, the Chinese ambassador to Australia, Xiao Qian, was invited to give a speech at the National News Club.

When answering a question from a reporter from Australia Broadcasting Corporation on "Whether China will have forces 'invasion' Taiwan", Ambassador Xiao said:

First of all, I want to correct that the term "invasion" should not be used on the Taiwan issue. Taiwan is not an independent country, but a province of the People's Republic of China. Taiwan's status has long been clearly stipulated and explained in the "Cairo Declaration", "Potsdam Announcement", the relevant UN resolutions and the relevant documents of China Australia. The relationship between mainland China and Taiwan is the relationship between the central government and local governments of the People's Republic of China. The Taiwan issue involves the unity of the country and is a problem for Taiwan to return to the motherland.

China has repeatedly emphasized that both sides of the strait belong to one China, and the people on both sides of the strait are Chinese. The people of Taiwan are our compatriots, and we are willing to continue to fight for peace and unity with the greatest patience and sincerity. The Taiwan issue is related to the overall interests of Chinese sovereignty and territorial integrity and the 1.4 billion Chinese nation children. We retain the options for all necessary measures. Non -peaceful methods will be the last choice to make.

According to the Chinese Embassy in Australia, Xiao Qian put forward five views and suggestions on the development of China -Australia relations in the next step: first, to reshape Chinese cognition, regarding China as a partner rather than an opponent; the other is to create a favorable environment and consolidate mutual benefit and benefit. Cooperation relationships; Third, respect each other, expand consensus, and divide them properly; fourth is based on the development of the interests of the interests of the two countries; the fifth is to enhance the mutual understanding of the people of the two countries and consolidate the solid foundation of China Australia friendship.

The speech has aroused the attention of multiple media

Xiao Qian said that the Australian Federation election has generated a new government, providing possible opportunities for the restart of China -Australia relations. Reuters reported on the 10th that the Chinese ambassador said that more work needs to reset the relationship between Canberra and Beijing. Xiao Qian said that in recent years, the leaders of the two countries have not held a meeting because China does not think that the meeting will improve the relationship. He said that although the two countries have had high -level contacts, they have not yet reached the stage of resolving political and trade disputes. This "is just a good start. To truly build a relationship, there is a lot of work to do."

"Ambassador Xiao Qian's speech was published in the situation of the tension situation of the Taiwan Strait." The Australian News said on the 10th that after the Speaker of the House of Representatives Perosi visited Taiwan, Xiao Qian warned that Australia should take a serious China principle. Essence Bloomberg said on the 10th that the Chinese ambassador warned Canberra to take the position of Beijing on the issue of Taiwan, saying that Taiwan was in China, just like Tasmania Island to Australia, and there was no room for compromise.

The chief researcher at the Pacific Island State Research Center of Liaocheng University explained to the "Global Times" reporter on the 10th that the ambassador's speech first showed China's vision of China -Australia relations, and hoped that the new Australian government would start from the interests of the two countries and the right and wrong. Independent foreign policy; second, the Australian government must improve relations with China, especially requiring China to cancel a response to Australian economic sanctions, which is more strategic to show that China has a position on the improvement of the relationship between the two countries. For those, Australia must first take out actions to perform sincerity; third, in response to the questioning of the economic and trade relations between the two countries, such as the Australian industry and agriculture, fisheries, etc., emphasizing that the ball is in the Australian government; the fourth is the issue of Australia on Taiwan and other issues. The error stance is refuted, indicating the attitude of the Chinese side. Yu Lei believes that senior Australian government officials have not appeared at the speech site, indicating that it has no desire to improve Sino -Australian relations at present. Yu Lei believes that the Australian economy is seriously dependent on foreign markets. In order to achieve the recovery of domestic economic recovery and the support of voters, the new government specifically hopes to restore the Chinese market. China does not have to rush to restore Sino -Australian economic and trade cooperation. Consolidate the foundation.
