The Ministry of Foreign Affairs responded to the Australian Prime Minister's statement that he welcomes China's rise (full text) The Ministry of Foreign Affairs: We hope that Australia will turn its verbal statements into practical actions

Australian Prime Minister Morrison delivered a speech at the Aspen Security Forum on the 5th, saying that establishing an "Indo-Pacific Alliance" with like-minded countries will be a key priority for the Australian government. Australia welcomes China's rise and looks forward to China playing a role in regional and global stability. He also said that there is no need to impose restrictions on the international version of TikTok at the moment.

In response to this, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin stated at today’s (6th) regular meeting of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that we have noted the relevant statements. China adheres to the path of peaceful development, will never seek hegemony or confrontation.
China has always believed that pursuing peace, cooperation, development and win-win results is an irresistible trend of the times and the common aspiration of people of all countries in the world. Any regional cooperation concept should conform to the general trend and the will of the people, otherwise it will not receive support from regional countries.
We have noted that the Australian side has expressed its welcome for China's development. We hope that Australia will translate its verbal statements into concrete actions and do more things that are in line with the spirit of the China-Australia comprehensive strategic partnership and conducive to regional peace and stability.
