PM on winning strategy for hearts and minds in Beijing

In addition to the Chinese, it makes very few pompoms and ceremonies.

When he met with leaders in Beijing’s Great People’s Hall on Tuesday, Prime Minister Anthony was given red carpet treatment to Albanian.

The rows of immaculately decorated soldiers revolved around the hall with perfect simultaneousness and stole the Chinese covers of Aussie Pub rock classics, such as Paul Kelly and Midnight Oil.

The generous screen may be equal to the course for world leaders who enter the large neoclassical sanctuary of Chinese power.

However, for the prime minister’s six -day trip and the praise of the packed on him, the symbolism and ritual were the key to the Chinese political theater, where the Chinese political theater was the key.

Protocols are important, says Australia National University Chinese Political Specialist Associate Professor Graeme Smith.

“All foreign policy is only for a local audience, especially for China, Aap says AAP.

“This is not about us. Citizens are about the members of the Chinese Communist Party. These are for this and we are a good propeller for them.”

Where to cooperate where they can do, it was calibrated to make Beijing’s own targets with Beijing’s own goals.

He allowed them to save the faces in 2020 to rescue faces in 2020 to focus on the relationship.

The unusual long time of the Prime Minister’s trip and the fact that it occurred shortly after re -election was interpreted by both sides as a sign of the importance of the relationship between the two nations.

Similarly, Mr. Albania, President Xi Jinping, Premier Li Qiang and the President of the National People’s Congress Zhao Leji said that the length of the meetings were “respect” – a word that will continue to return during the trip.

“I had meetings for about eight hours yesterday,” he said on Wednesday.

“It was a very long meeting, but it also respected both sides, we had a lunch that President Xi had not just a meeting, but that President Xi invited Jodie to join.

“This lunch was a sign of respect for Australia, our country.”

The fact that the military group at the leading meetings learned to play the songs that were selected in a way that complies with the taste of the Prime Minister, especially the effort they wanted to put in.

“These gestures are important, respecting the issues between countries,” he said.

“Sitting and eating and talking about personal problems, the opportunity to talk about non -political things, is a really important part of diplomacy.

“One of the things my government does is to participate in diplomacy.

The US’s diplomacy under Donald Trump could not be more contrast.

The US President is a constant living in the room during the journey.

Since his first day in Shanghai, Mr. Albania’s visit to the Pentagon strategist Elbridge Colby, Australia and Japanese diplomats on Taiwan on a hypothetical conflict with China to join the United States almost after pressure.

However, Mr. Arnavut refrained from participating in the style of diplomacy of American colleagues.

When the opposition criticized him for not being able to bring concrete results and “tolerant” visits to a large wall and a panda research center, the Prime Minister said that they had missed this point.

“China’s great wall symbolizes the extraordinary history and culture in China, and there is no cost to show some respect for people,” he said.

“Do you know what you’re doing? Gives you an award.”

The patient is the consistent diplomacy of the government’s modus operandi.

Prof Smith says that monitoring the footprints of Labor leader Gough Whitlam along the big wall is a strong symbolism.

In 1971, Mr. Whitlam accepted the communist administration of the People’s Republic of China and visited the wonder on a turning point trip as the opposition leader who became one of the first Western politicians who did so.

Prof Smith sent a clear message about the permanent power of the relationship.

“This is probably one of the most powerful cards we should play in terms of relationship, we are the first to get to know China. This gets a lot of points for us.”

Prime Minister Li praised Mr. Arnavutes for his personal role in repairing Chinese-Avustralia relations at his meetings on Tuesday.

When relations were at the lowest level, the Chinese state media, which shed an endless disdain to Australia, shone within the scope of Mr. Albania and threw the previous coalition government as a source of conflict.

“In recent years, Chinese-Australian relations have continued to develop, the understanding of the Australian government’s relationship with China deepened, according to a part of the Chinese state’s stateid The Global Times.

“(Mr. Albanian) showed a pragmatic and rational approach to Chinese policy.

“Today’s Chinese-Avustralian relationship has passed through the storm area ‘Stratosphere’ like a flying plane and the most turbulent and rugged period has passed.”

Justin Bassi, Executive Director of the Australian Strategic Policy Institute, said the prime minister’s visit was positive for economic relations and trade.

However, the approach is not without risks.

“I think the risks are three times,” ABC News said.

“I think there is a risk of being used for propaganda purposes. There is a risk of trade becoming an extreme addiction, and the third risk is that we provide a perception that both China and its own public economy overweight than long -term security.”
