Beijing calls Australians "Poor White Trash"
The Global Times, a news website heavily aligned with the Chinese Communist Party, has called Australians “poor white trash”, warning that there will be “consequences” if the Australians do not play nice with China.
In recent months, relations between Beijing and Canberra have become increasingly fractious due to actions taken by Australia which has been deemed as an act of scrutiny towards China, a provokation.
China has been retaliating as well. In addition to the numerous retaliations, just recently, an Australian journalist for China’s state run television was detained for reasons unclear.

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…
Australian clarity and Beijing’s panic mark a tumultuous week
After another tumultuous week in the Australia–China relationship, four conclusions are becoming increasingly clear. First, we are going to be on this rollercoaster ride for years. National positions are hardening. Neither Beijing nor Canberra will back down and the prospects for ‘negotiation’ are zero given China’s ‘wolf warrior’ mania.
Second, Prime Minister Scott Morrison and his senior ministers look increasingly confident in their stance to seek ‘a balance in favour of freedom’. The language used about relations with China is careful but is becoming clearer and more definitive. There is something to be said for knowing when your back is hard up against a strategic wall.

Has a 'gold rush' mindset blinded Australian businesses pursuing 'mercurial' China market?
It was in the mid-2000s during a regular meeting with a client that Bob Cronin realised he'd grossly underestimated the challenges of doing business in China.
They were heady days in the bilateral relationship between Canberra and Beijing when the sky seemed the limit for enterprising Australians in the Middle Kingdom.
Yet the veteran newspaperman got a harsh reality check not long into his stint editing the Shanghai Daily, the English language Chinese journal then part-owned by Australian billionaire media proprietor Kerry Stokes.
