China Will Not Listen to Calls from Australian Officials if Australia Sees Beijing as a Threat
China has reportedly warned the Australian government that it will not take calls from Australian ministers unless Canberra stops viewing Beijing as a strategic threat.
The Guardian Australia quoted a senior official at the Chinese Embassy in Australia as saying that China urged the Morrison government to make a clear decision on whether Canberra sees Beijing as a "threat" or an "opportunity". Beijing sees this as a key prerequisite for resuming the ministerial dialogue that has been suspended since early this year.
Chinese officials believe that it is up to Australia to reflect on how to prevent regression in the bilateral relationship and to create a good atmosphere for the dialogue. Chinese officials also think that Australia should abandon its Cold War mentality, and they criticize the current problems as being entirely caused by Australia.

中方據報警告若澳洲視北京為威脅 將不聽澳方官員電話
中國據報警告澳洲政府，除非坎培拉停止將北京視為戰略威脅，否則中方政府部長不會接聽澳方部長的電話。 澳洲《衛報》引述中國駐澳洲大使館高級官員表示，中方敦促澳洲莫里森政府，就坎培拉視北京為「威脅」抑或「機遇」，作出清晰決定，北京會視此為重啟自年初中斷的部長級對話的關鍵前提。 中方官員認為，應該由澳方反思如何防止雙邊關係倒退，並為對話營造良好氣氛，又認為澳方應該摒棄冷戰思維，批評現時的問題，完全是由澳方造成。 中國與澳洲的關係，自莫里森政府在4月時，要求就新型冠狀病毒源頭，展開國際調查後惡化，澳洲貿易部長伯明…

Citizens Increase Calls for Canada to Stand Up to China
Canadian citizens want continued, harsher treatment towards China.
In response to the appointment of Catroina Le May Doan as head of the Canadian 2022 Olympic delegation, an Ottawa citizen calls for Canada to boycott the Beijing Winter Olympics entirely.
“How can we possibly be thinking of sending Canadians under our flag to a country that is holding two of our citizens hostage; that has threatened Canadians in Hong Kong; and that continues to use trade as a weapon against us?”
Citing Canada’s precedence of boycotting the Moscow Games in 1980, he added that the repression of the Uyghurs and democracy in Hong Kong “should be enough for fair-minded countries to withdraw.”
His opinion towards the Chinese government regarding Chinese human rights abuses is echoed by another citizen, who applauds Bob Rae, the Canadian UN Ambassador, for mentioning the alleged genocide in the Xinjiang Province during a UN conference.
He adds that “Like-minded nations must stand up to the CCP and show our support for the Chinese people by supporting Taiwan and Hong Kong.”
