Ambassador Xiao Qian urged Australia and other commercial partners to “respond jointly to the changes in the world” in a piece of written opinion for a newspaper in Sydney.
“In the new circumstances, China is ready to join the hands with Australia,” wrote Xiao for the Syding Morning Herald.
But the Australian defense minister Richard Marles quickly paid cold water on the notions of Canberra and Beijing who join the “common cause”.
“We are not going to make a common cause with China, that’s not what will happen here”, Marles told the nine news of Australia.

Having already surprised the internal audience with a strong mutual rate of 34%, any backward appearance would be politically unsustainable, “says Diana Choyleva, founder and Economist’s head of Veno Economics, a prediction company.”
