#China policy will not be a vote-shifting issue in the Australian federal election. As usual, the economy and tax in particular will dominate the election. But from a foreign-policy standpoint there is no more important issue than achieving a reasonable balance between the #UnitedStates, #Australia’s security guardian, and China, its linchpin economic partner. Getting the balance right and thus avoid being wedged between its security and economic interests represents what is arguably the most significant foreign-policy challenge in Australian diplomatic history since federation in 1901.
Both Christopher Pyne and Penny Wong cautioned against allowing tensions between the US and China to divert Australia from pursuing its own interests, even if those interests do not accord with those of its security guarantor. A Labor government would probably make a more conspicuous effort to bolster regional partnerships with the #ASEAN bloc and #India as a hedge against tensions between the US and China. Where both sides of Australian politics converge is on the need to engage China, but not at the expense of disregarding Beijing’s flagrant attempts to assert its sovereignty in disputed waters of the #SouthChinaSea.

Historian Julia Lovell's new book explores 20th century China's foreign policy and its promotion of global revolution. From the Shining Path in Peru to the Khmer Rouge, various Red Brigades and massive amounts of foreign aid in Africa, Beijing made concerted attempts to export Maoism around the world. "This international approach became even more pronounced after China fell out with the USSR in the late 1950s." #history #china #prc #maoism #communism #foreignpolicy #foreignaid

Hello Indian old gane Indian old gane
#Britain unveiled a contingency trade policy that favors global giants such as #China over #EU countries in case of a messy divorce from the bloc. London is bracing for the worst as it races toward the March 29 #Brexit deadline without a plan for unwinding its 46-year involvement in the European project. A 'no-deal' split would bring an end to the current free trade arrangements between Britain and its EU partners overnight.
Britain’s shift of attention to China is most vividly displayed by the complete elimination of tariffs on its massive aluminum and steel mills. The benefits would also stretch to big metals producer Russia - a potentially sensitive issue considering the chilly state of London’s affairs with Moscow. Cheaper metals are a boon for Britain’s troubled car producers. The sector is a vital employer in smaller cities and would get the additional help thanks to tariff-free imports of components.

#Huawei's future in #Germany has been the subject of speculation for months, due to the campaign waged by the US government against the Chinese company over concerns that the Chinese government will use the firm as a 'backdoor' for spying and other forms of #cyberespionage. Although the German government has already said it will not ban Huawei or any other company during the #5G process, its announcement of strict security requirements for the 5G auction has cast doubt over the extent to which network operators will ultimately be able to use Huawei equipment.
Compared with other Western nations, Germany has been less than amenable to the US pressure. Chinese-German trade was worth €180bn ($204bn) in 2017, according to the MIT Observatory of Economic Complexity. Almost 50% of that figure was in machines and hi-tech equipment. It's a trading and investment relationship that neither Beijing nor Berlin wants to tread clumsily on, especially given that there has already been significant recent turbulence over Chinese investment in German firms, and their possible acquisition of German intellectual property.

Chinese President #XiJinping will visit #Italy and #France next week amid a #EuropeanUnion firestorm over the dangers of rapidly growing Chinese trade and investments - particularly regarding next-generation telecom technology - and intensifying divisions among its members about how to deal with them.
After months of study, the #EuropeanCommission released its 'EU-China: Strategic Outlook,' included the clearest and toughest language yet toward #China in an #EU document. After years of a more benign approach to Beijing, it branded China as 'an economic competitor in the pursuit of technological leadership, and a systemic rival promoting alternative models of governance.' The challenge is that China for some time has executed a clear plan that has put #Europe increasingly at the heart of its global political and #economicstrategy while Europe has lacked any unified policy of approach of its own.

#China and the #EuropeanUnion (EU) share a 10-point consensus including their support for #multilateralism and an open world economy, Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister #WangYi said in Brussels on Monday (Mar 18), calling cooperation the 'mainstream' in China-EU relations. Wang made the remarks during a joint press conference with EU's foreign and security policy chief #FedericaMogherini after attending the ninth round of the China-EU high-level strategic dialogue.
Describing Wang as her 'good friend,' Mogherini hailed cooperation between the #EU and China in maintaining multilateralism, fighting climate change and supporting the Iran nuclear deal. Brussels and Beijing are trying to identify areas for bilateral cooperation as 'global powers' on the international stage, she noted, adding that 'competition is only normal' between the two giant economies.

#Britain has signed a post-Brexit trade deal with the Pacific islands of #Fiji and #PapuaNewGuinea, as the government rushes to sign as many agreements as possible before 29 March. The Department for International Trade said the agreement would maintain access to goods including sugar and fish imported from the islands 10,000 miles away. Total trade between Britain and the region is worth about £369m a year. Signed by the #internationaltrade secretary, Liam Fox, the deal eliminates all tariffs on all goods imported from Fiji and Papua New Guinea and will gradually remove around 80% of tariffs on UK exports to these countries.
Deals have been signed with nations including #Switzerland, #Chile and the #FaroeIslands. Deals with major trading partners such as #Japan, #Turkey and #SouthKorea are not expected to be ready in time, much to the alarm of business leaders. If there is a #nodealBrexit, trade with those countries would default to World Trade Organization terms.

President Donald #Trump inserted himself back into #Britain's #Brexit debate, saying he was prepared to negotiate a 'large scale' #tradeagreement with the United Kingdom after it leaves the #EuropeanUnion. Trump's push for a #tradedeal, however, belies the nature of Britain's Brexit complexity and the reason why lawmakers have both rejected leaving with 'no deal' and May's painstakingly negotiated pact.
The biggest issue facing #UK lawmakers is the issue of the so-called Irish backstop, a means by which Britain can ensure that, regardless of what happens during its negotiated transition from the bloc, a hard border between Northern Ireland, a U.K. territory, and the Republic of Ireland, an EU member state, will never be put in place.
