China’s Global Times says Australia’s economy “cannot withstand” a cold war with China
Its an opinion piece in the outspoken GT and comes in response to US Republican Senator Rick Scott urging Australia to join the US in a new “Cold War” against China.
Here is the link, there is plenty more of this sort of thing here:
- Canberra should be mindful of avoiding inappropriate statements from its officials or politicians that may echo what Scott urged.
- Due to escalating tensions between the two countries on multiple fronts – such as the Hong Kong affair, a US-led inquiry into the origin of the coronavirus origins, and a travel and study warning – China-Australia relations have been rapidly sliding to near freezing point.
- A new Cold War may only further jeopardize the already fragile relations between the two sides.
I wouldn’t think this sort of sentiment is a positive for AUD, yeah? Here is the link to the GT article
