Australian Diplomacy and International Relations: A Summary of Recent Discussions with President Xi

Perspectives on Australia's Approach to China and Human Rights

During recent diplomatic exchanges, Australian officials faced questions regarding the tone and strategy of Australia's approach to China. Supporters of Chinese-Australian figures such as Ya Kenjun, including Fen Chong Yi, criticized the Australian government for being too soft and weak, arguing that this stance has emboldened Chinese Communist Party (CCP) bullying tactics. In response, Australian representatives emphasized their commitment to diplomatic engagement over confrontation, asserting that their approach aims to maximize positive outcomes for Australians affected by China's policies.
