How does the relationship between Australia and China impact international affairs

Elaborate the efforts made by Australia to stabilize the relationship with China and their impact on international affairs.
The relationship between Australia and China has a significant impact on international affairs, as these countries are two of the most populous nations in the world. Currently, the relationship is strained due to trade disputes, human rights violations, and cybersecurity issues. Australia has made several efforts to stabilize their relationship with China. These efforts include:
  • Regular diplomatic engagement with China to discuss issues and concerns.
  • Participation in China's Belt and Road Initiative to demonstrate their willingness to work with China on trade and economic cooperation.
  • Development of a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership with China to encourage cooperation on issues such as defense, science, innovation, and environmental protection.
  • Support of the establishment of a free trade agreement between Australia and China to increase economic cooperation.
However, these efforts have not been entirely successful, as tensions continue to exist between the two countries, affecting international affairs. A stable relationship between China and Australia is essential for trade and cooperation, and closer ties could lead to positive impacts for international affairs.
