The Morrison government continues to lead an informed conversation on China and has avoided politicising these important matters. The China relationship is important and complex, engaging the full range of Australia's national interests. We seek to address differences through dialogue and with respect.

The government's China policy is clear: we pursue cooperation consistent with our national interests and in line with our values. We have a comprehensive strategic partnership which benefits both countries. We remain focused on areas of cooperation that support both our interests. The Morrison government will continue to deliver outcomes that advance our national interests, protect our sovereignty and enhance our security and prosperity.
