China has fired back at Anthony Albanese's renewed calls for trade sanctions to be lifted, calling on Australia to 'shape up a right perception' of the nation.
China appears no closer to lifting trade sanctions with Australia despite Prime Minister Anthony Albanese reiterating there was"no justification" for the measure.
"We hope Australia will seize the opportunities in our relations, take concrete actions, shape up a right perception of China, handle economic and trade relations with China in the spirit of mutual respect and mutual benefit. "Work with China in the same direction to reduce liabilities and build positive dynamics for improving bilateral relations, and create enabling conditions for the sound and steady development of economic and trade ties."
He added a"sound and stable" relationship between Australia and China"meets the fundamental interests and common aspiration of the two peoples". "Well, it's in China's interest to lift all of the sanctions against Australia. And it's in Australia's interest for that to happen as well," Mr Albanese said.
