Following last year’s 14 conditions to end democracy if we want to get along with China, The Australian reports today that China’s Victorian consul-general Long Zhou is out to remind us that there is coming back without that:
“Australia should treat China and China’s development objectively and rationally, abandon ideological prejudices, and truly uphold the principles of mutual respect and equal treatment in handling bilateral relations and actively promote China-Australia relations to return to the track of normal and healthy development as soon as possible.”
“Because this is in line with the two common interests of the two countries and the fundamental interests of the two peoples.”
