Belt and Road deals used for propaganda: Australia

China's Belt and Road Initiative deals are "used for propaganda", a top Australian official said on Thursday as he defended Canberra's decision to scrap a state government's deals with Beijing.Australia on Wednesday overruled Victoria state's decision to join the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) – the flagship of President Xi Jinping's geostrategic vision for the Asia-Pacific region – saying the agreement was inconsistent with Australia's foreign policy.As relations between the two countries continue to nosedive, Defence Minister Peter Dutton said Canberra was "worried" about local governments entering into such agreements with Beijing."We can't allow these sort of compacts... to pop up because they're used for propaganda reasons and we're just not going to allow that to happen," he told local radio.Dutton said the government's problem was not with the Chinese people but rather "the values or virtues or the outlook of the Chinese Communist Party".Australia last year enacted new powers – widely seen as targeting China – that allow it to scrap any agreements between state authorities and foreign countries deemed to threaten the national interest.Canberra's first target was the BRI, a vast network of investments that critics say is cover for Beijing to create geopolitical and financial leverage.In a statement released early Thursday, the Chinese embassy in Australia called it a "unreasonable and provocative" move."It is bound to bring further damage to bilateral relations, and will only end up hurting itself," the statement added.Dutton said he would be "very disappointed" if China retaliated but retorted that Australia "won't be bullied by anyone"."We are going to stand up for what we believe in and that's exactly what we've done here," he said.China has already slapped tariffs on more than a dozen Australian industries, including wine, barley and coal, in what many see as punishment for Canberra's increasingly assertive stance against its largest trading partner.Australia infuriated China by calling for an independent probe into the origins of the coronavirus pandemic, banning controversial telecoms giant Huawei from building Australia's 5G network and tightening foreign investment laws for corporations.Other agreements between foreign powers and local governments are still under consideration, and Canberra could yet target the presence of Chinese government-backed Confucius Institutes at Australia's public universities.Critics said the institutes, which have been the subject of controversy on some campuses, promote the Communist Party's self-serving version of Chinese culture and history.

US Reveals Indo-Pacific Strategic Framework, Suggests to Resist China, Helps India to rise and Assist Taiwan's Defence

The night before the US presidential power transfer, the Trump government announced a decrypted file called the US Strategic Framework for Indo-Pacific on Jan 12, revealing the US strategic details for the Indo-Pacific region, including helping India to accelerate its rise and assisting Taiwan to develop national defence strategies, in order to counterbalance China. The Foreign Affairs Ministry of China criticised that the US used the Indo-Pacific strategy to suppress China, undermining the peace and the stability of the region.

This strategic framework was originally regarded as a confidential document, but the Trump government decided to make it public before the government changes. The document was approved by President Trump in February 2018 and has provided "overall strategic guidance" to the US operation for three years, stating that the US would maintain the long term promises on freedom and openness to the Indo-Pacific region.

Robert O'Brien, the US National Security Advisor, criticised in a press release that Beijing is increasing the pressure on the Indo-Pacific region, requesting these countries to submit their freedom and sovereignty to the "mutual fate" suggested by the CCP.

The document suggested an objective: North Korea will no longer be a threat, India will dominate South Asia, and the US will collaborate with the allies, to stand against China's coercive undermining sovereignty actions. The US expected that they could be India's first preferred partner regarding safety issues. Both countries will cooperate to maintain maritime safety and to resist China's influence on South and Southeast Asia.

'Scrapping deal harms China-Australia relations'

China on Thursday said Australia's sudden scrapping of a Belt and Road Initiative deal risked "serious harm" to relations and warned of retaliatory actions against a country that insisted it would not be bullied.Canberra pulled the deal with Victoria state late on Wednesday, in a move destined to provoke Beijing but justified by Defence Minister Peter Dutton as necessary to prevent Australia hosting a giant infrastructure scheme "used for propaganda".Australia overruled Victoria state's decision to join the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) – the flagship of President Xi Jinping's geostrategic vision for the Asia-Pacific region – saying the agreement was inconsistent with Australia's foreign policy.As relations nosedive – following spats over the origins of the coronavirus and Canberra's blocking of Chinese telecoms giant Huawei – Dutton said Canberra was "worried" about local governments entering into such agreements with Beijing.Beijing laid into the the Australian government on Thursday, saying it would damage trust between the two countries, and warning it could take further actions in response.The move "recklessly interferes in and destroys normal exchange and cooperation, and seriously harms China-Australia relations and mutual trust between the countries," said foreign ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin at a briefing in Beijing."China reserves the right to take further action in response to this."
