Kurt Campbell also revealed that the US had issued stern warnings to the Chinese regime against further intrusions into the Philippines’ maritime territories.
Anthony Albanese’s visit to the US has given Australia and the United States a boost for dealing with China in the days and weeks ahead, according to a senior White House official.
The Albanese visit to Washington had been “extraordinarily effective and well choreographed” and gave America an “enormous confidence and a boost going into these meetings with Wang Yi”, China’s Minister for Foreign Affairs, in Washington at the end of last week. An international arbitration in The Hague in 2016 found China has “no legal basis” for its claims. Beijing has ignored the ruling.
Campbell said the US-Australia alliance had emerged stronger after Beijing attempted economic coercion of Australia by imposing punitive trade bans and issuing a list of 14 grievances against Australia.
