Chinese Premier Li Qiang's visit to Australia last month gave another boost to bilateral ties, as evidenced by his remark that "the 'twists and turns' in Australia-China ties are over." What factors have helped bring relations back on track? How can China and Australia strengthen cooperation despite their differences and geopolitical challenges? And how is the role of diplomacy becoming even more crucially significant on today's global stage? To find out more, watch CGTN Dialogue's exclusive interview with Bob Carr, former Australian Minister for Foreign Affairs.

Very simple, don't be self righteous to meddle into the internal affairs of China, which is none of the business of Australia!
Australians are like politicians just nosing around in everyone's affairs. They will not only need manpower but overseas assets and education is not on par with the Middle East or Asia
Clean up the mess of Scott Morrision's who has followed American trouble war making politicians, and that's bringing back China-Austrslia relationship back on track!, 🙏
And we need to fend off the Dutton threat to this revived cooperation
A Dutton govt in Australia, would be troublesom yet again, just like his predecessor Morrison. Australia understands that America's hedgemony is almost no more, and needs to grow some balls, and shift away from kowtowing to the U.S.

Australia must always remembered that China is Australia biggest trading partner, its economy and good friendship depends between these both countries. Australia must be independent to make any decisions rather being influenced by other countries.
Xioami has Snapdragon chips, so trading between you is normal and making money. Just watching from my window, how my invention is used, I am naive I have no clue what a good and comfortable life is. As for having money have no clue too, and go around the globe learn about new cultures, the psychopath only has this priviledge.
One of the problem of Australia is they don't know how to make thier mineral more profitable or maybe make finished product with it so they can have a mark products to call thier own.. instead export it and let other country make more profit of it
@LarryMendaros Huh? But Australia is of sub-arctic Western euro stock. I thought Australia had good technology and know how of processing and refining its vast mineral wealth. They have one of the biggest mining companies in the world 🌎 but they don't know how to mine, extract, refine, and process their minerals into finished goods?👀🧐🤔
Agree. Australia and China really does not have real bad issues between them. All the bad issues australia has with China is basically imported from the U.S.

Australia didn't tariffs Chinese EV because Australia don't have car industrial in Australia ! also Australia wanted better consumer price for Australia people !
In free market I should be able to buy Huawei phones, NVIDIA graphic cards, BYD cars
My question to all westerners... With the rise of China, how many shots fired or how many lives taken in other countries? Or any sovereignty been invaded?
Very well said
China sees the people of the world and their own people through the same eyes. Respect.
Finally, Australia has a very smart man who understands free trade and not hate rising countries.
Unfortunately, PM Anthony Albanese and his government has been viciously attacked and vilified by the right wing elements of the country, pushed by Sky News in particular - constantly - claiming that he is a weak sissy for making peace with China. It is absolutely ridiculous a charge when he has been doing it for the good of Australian farmers and producers as well as the Australian economy - but no one ever said that the radical right wing extremists have a bone of logic and common sense anyway. They find establishing good relationships as a sign of "weakness". Crazy.
Hail Bob Carr! He is cool calm and collect in the interview, very factual,no lies or pretences or animosity from any perspective.This is how a top leader should should carry himself for the sake of a peaceful and forward looking nation and the world at large.😊
Short answer : money.
All the rest are just embellishments. 😊😊
Anti China wins votes for ignorant politicians but less business with China will not bring food on the table for the voters
I went to China with Mrs is March and planning to go again next year 🙂
FOLLOW THE LOGIC AND YOU WILL COME TO CONCLUSION THAT CHINA REMAINS THE BEST OPTION FOR AUSTRALIA.
Australian extreme right wing radicals (and Sky News) don't have that logic. They believe that we should be unfriendly to our biggest trading partners and kick them and spit in their faces whenever we feel like it. Their hatred of China and the Chinese is so vitriolically unreasoning that you wonder which stink bog did they emerge from.
Carr takes on the torch of Keating.... Good for him.... Rudd still a snake trying to play both sides
Rudd worked for a long time in diplomatic circles and has learned through experience, to be a "snake-in-the-grass".
Good to hear that. From Thailand.
Yes it good for peace. And no need to follow American every thing like EU.
Bob has always been pro peace and not anti China, for all the right reasons. All the smarter politicians are like him including Paul Keating. They are all getting older but so much wiser! I wish there were more like them around!
Good on you Bob Carr for being transparent with Chinese and Australian. Imagine if Peter Dutton gets elected, he is the US proxi.
If Trump ends up in the Whitehouse again, we will all have far more serious issues to worry about other than tariffs.
Actually, Biden has been doing everything he could to "out-do" Trump far more than what Trump did in his trade war against China.
Australia and China
Don't mess with our relationship
Peace in the Eastern hemisphere
Nope, peace is not what's coming. China messed up so now we 🇺🇲 are coming.
Australia must remain on speaking terms with China. Only through dialogue can we work co-operatively through any issues.
Mutual respect. No hostilities following others.
Why can't Bob Carr, and for that matter, other qualified speakers say it like it really is with the U.S.?
I'm no diplomat, so I can state it quite simply: the reason China-Australia relations have improved is because Aussie citizens have finally clearly understood the hegemonic nature of the U.S. and the Chinese manifest for global Peace, the antithesis of the U.S. MIC. (I'm a US citizen currently residing in China.)
Australians can learn a lot from their well rounded immigrants as the old draconian, cruel way of thinking is the root cause of what expats experience _ not a country that wants equality
stop interference into internal matters by Australia at the behest of the US would be greatly appreciated.
Unfortunately, for Australian political leader, it is very difficult not to dance to the tune of its puppet Master, Uncle Sam. One only has to look at the sort of vitriolic diatribes coming out of Sky News against the Albanese government for any sign of peace with China while promoting the constantly belligerent Peter Dutton, leader of the opposition at any opportunity because he an anti-China warhawk. That a sizeable portion of the Australian public supports Dutton is a bit of a worry.
The Chinese can't be that naive or desperate
AUS is US unconditional allies 😂
C i a headquarter there
I guess spoke too soon lol
Australia wants China to continue to buy our iron ore, coal and other commodities in exchange for Australians continuing to buy Chinese products, especially Chinese made cars. The only option to this would be for Australians to Change their government policies, and develop their own industries, in order to help make Australia permanently rich, and encourage the Chinese go and get their iron ore and coal etc from other sources.
Yes - but these are the dreams of the past. It would be wonderful if we can return to making stuff ourselves and be able to export them to Asian countries as we once used to be able to - anything from mantlepiece radios, to refrigerators, washers, ovens, television sets, cars and other motor vehicles and even aeroplanes and ships, to shirts and socks and trousers - and then, they all disappeared as the tables turned.
What happened and how and why did it happen?
Firstly, our industries concentrated in small markets - locally in our relatively small population and then, when we did exported to Asia, we didn't do it in large volumes, appealing our products more to the ex-pat Australians and British living in those countries like singapore and Malaysia. Secondly, our product prices were expensive and while the quality was really good, they appealed only to the wealthier class in Asia. when the middle-class came along and were fast developing, this class was looking for "value for money" and they were not getting it from Australian made products. Our industries and exporters made the cardinal sin in not producing to suit the customers' needs.
Thirdly, our industries were not fully and totally supported by the government. Only a few were and only if you happen to be one that has some foreign ownership from the U.S. and/or the U.K. The electronics Industry, for instance, received very little encouragement and incentive from the government and it struggled although it was there are the beginning of this field. Why did the oil refineries closed up when we have our own oil producing rigs off shore pumping out oil but shipped to Singapore for refining instead? The list of industries that we used to have reads like a murder mystery.
I remember speaking to the owner of an aerosol manufacturer in Sydney some time ago and he told me that it is NOT the cost of labor that is a problem - something that has been a common argument why our products cost more to make here than it is to import. His factory is 80% fully automated in manufacturing his products with robotic arms doing all the handling and packaging and so, labor cost isn't the reason. What costs him are - materials like steel,. aluminium, copper, tin, nickel - which have to be imported because we don't make them ourselves even though we mine the raw metals but export them to China to turn out the rolled metals and grades that are needed, the cost of transportation because we do not have an efficient transportation infrastructure, electricity (power) which has been rising almost exponentially year on year, and our relatively small market size. He has, despite these, managed to produce a line of products that are exported to Japan and he has been able to keep his prices at a competitive market level because of the very large orders he receives from Japan.
Talking about "developing our own industries" is easy but one has to look at all the details that goes into making something economically viable and worthy of being invested in. when you talk about putting in an industry , you have to consider a whole gamut of things - from cheap land to cheap power and water sources, an educated and healthy labor force, low government red tape, low taxes, government subsidies, stable work force, stable political landscape, cheap transportation, fast flowing roads and rail, low materials cost, and a large market or markets base. Modern day manufacturing industries all depend upon volume, volume and more volume - high productivity for as low an input cost as possible. If at any one point, any of one of those variables are not met, you won't have a successful industry. It is as simple as this although the setting up of a manufacturing plant is not as simple as your comment as I have detailed above. If it is as easy as you implied, many other countries would have gone on ahead and become industrial giants themselves. Take India for example - large population now larger than China but as yet, unable to do the same as China. It tried to go into car manufacturing (Tata Industries) and fell flat. It tried to get into semiconductor manufacturing and despite millions poured into it by the government, again, fell flat.
If we are to do the producing of goods ourselves, we will need to be able to attract foreign markets but it seems that the ship has long left us stranded at the harbourside. If we want to manufacture cars ourselves, we certainly can't go back to ICE (internal combustion engine) vehicles as we have failed in this sector. Besides that other foreign players have a long march on us by now. So, what can we manufacture? Hybrids? The Japanese has much of this sewn up being involved in it long ago. Hydrogen? Still experimental and Toyota which has been extensively involved in R&D in this area has given up and gone back to hybrids and taken up electric (EVs). Electric Vehicles (EVs)? The Chinese are into it gang busters churning out more EVs than their own local market of 1.4 bllion people needs. So, what can we go into in cars that the world will need in the future?
The technological world is steaming ahead faster and faster and every moment we delay in this country places us further and further behind the rest of the industrial world. The old days when things used to be simple, made piece-meal in slow plodding steps to satisfy a tiny market are long gone and one has to think holistically on a wide scale in today's world. Elon Musk did exactly that when he started up Tesla Motors. Look, listen, read and learn from people like him.
We would have to buy our own resources from the overseas mining companies that are in Australia to do that? 🤣
australians not a troublemaker country they are nice people.
very cool.
sometimes we should open our eyes to reality.
no hatred
Return East Timore oil please
. THE WEST WILL HAVE TO GET USE TO NEW FACES, LANGUAGE AND FRIENDS .

Don't daydreaming.😂
At present Global landscapes situation , circumstances, evidences . And climatic changes conditions And Ecological footprint wars And Disputes. Is Not the resolution tools to face all Challenge . Rather than adaptation to restoration of relationship by multiple structures projects in cooperation umbrella policies only Australia is doing great jobs .
🇦🇺 needs export market to support its nuclear power sub and increase its defense budget under AUKUS partnership. 🤣
Imo Trump is easier for China to deal with as he is so predictable
I disagree. Unpredictable more likely.
@@burt3907 follow trump's source of money and he can be read like a book...
@@burt3907 Common sense minded people find Trump unpredictable like playing checkers with a chess player. "Go" players find chess players entirely predictable.
Hey Australia, your destiny eventually is with China, not with warmonger USA
Yes we know. We Aussies all know. Will have to join BRICS for our survival too.
