Australia must 'normalise' relations with China without 'trading away' core values | Sky News AustraliaLiberal Senator Andrew Bragg says it is 'very troubling' to hear Australia no longer has any correspondents in China following the rushed removal of two Australian journalists over fears for their safety.\n\nJournalists Bill Birtles and Michael Smith landed in Sydney yesterday after being evacuated from China by the Department of Foreign Affairs after Chinese authorities demanded they present themselves for questioning in relation to Cheng Lei, an Australian journalist who was detained in Beijing last month. \n\nMr Bragg told Sky News it was a “regrettable” situation but he looked forward “to the normalisation of relations over the medium term”. \n\n“I don’t think it’s a very good look to have effectively expelled Australian journalists,” he said. \n\n“Not only does it deprive us of real media, real intelligence on what’s happening on the ground but it also is a bit of a vote of no confidence in our day-to-day engagement.”\n\nWhen asked whether it would be a good move for Australia to begin expelling Chinese diplomats from the country, Mr Bragg said they would be hard-pressed to find the government “stooping to use those sorts of tactics”. \n\n“We don’t engage in censorship in this country,” he said. \n\n“The reality is, China is an important country to Australia, it will be important to our future and we need to focus on normalising relations over the medium term without trading away any of the values that we hold dear.” \n\nImage: Getty
