BELT AND ROAD INITIATIVE
Governmentâs insular and retrograde move
With its anachronistic mentality of the Cold War, the Morrison government has cancelled Victorianâs Belt and Road agreement with the Chinese government, as well as two Victorian government education agreements (The Age, 22/4). Foreign Minister Marise Payneâs declaration they they are âinconsistent with Australiaâs foreign policy or adverse to our foreign relationsâ has soured any hope of a gentle rapprochement with our largest trading partner and a healing of the political rift. Her assertion that China would not retaliate is naive at best.
