According to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, just after zero the day after the Australian federal election, the Global Times social app official account issued the article. The essay chapter said the Chinese people are concerned about the possible impact of Morrison`s victory on the diplomatic relationship between the two countries.
"the election results also mean that China and Australia`s relationship, which has gone from bad to worse under the leadership of the ruling alliance of the Australian Liberal Party and the National Party, will continue to have an uncertain future in recent years. "judging from the positions of the Australian media and some Labour politicians before the election, it seems that if the Labour Party can win this election, it will bring some positively changes to the relationship between China and Australia," the article said. "
The essay chapter also refers to the remarks of Keating (Paul Keating), a former Australian prime minister and former leader of the Labour Party. He once referred to the head of Australian intelligence as a "madman". In order to improve relationship with China, they should resign.
Although Schrington (Bill Shorten), the last Labour leader, disagreed with Keating, the party`s former councillor, Abby (Anthony Albanese), said Keating`s comments reflected an increase in concerns about attitudes towards China. Australia needs to take a cautious non-exclusive approach when it comes to China and its role in the region, he said.
