Australia abandoned plans for Taiwanese free trade agreement after warning
from China

意思就是中國政府從中阻饒讓澳洲放棄了跟台灣簽自由貿易協議的計畫

下面一堆澳客鄉民在罵澳洲政府沒 guts屈服於中國的淫威, NZ, Singapore 都沒屈服於中國




Australia walked away from plans for a free trade agreement with Taiwan after
China warned any deal would hurt relations between Beijing and Canberra.

Taiwan was on a list of economies the Coalition government was considering
for bilateral trade deals but, in a series of meetings over 2017 and 2018,
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi conveyed directly to former foreign minister
Julie Bishop that China was opposed to Australia boosting formal ties with
the government of President Tsai Ing-wen.

"The Chinese government made it clear to me that circumstances had changed
between Taiwan and mainland China and that China would not look favourably on
Australia seeking to pursue a free trade agreement with Taiwan, as New
Zealand had done some years ago," Ms Bishop told Fairfax Media.

Taiwan, a self-governed democracy of 23 million people, operates under de
facto independence from China. The Chinese Communist Party – viewing the
island as a renegade province that needs to be unified with the mainland –
 actively seeks to restrict Taiwan's international engagement and influence
its domestic politics.

Relations between Beijing and Taipei have deteriorated since the 2016
election of Dr Tsai, leader of the traditionally pro-independence Democratic
Progressive Party, who has angered the CCP by refusing to endorse the "1992
consensus" – an agreement between the two sides that affirmed the principle
of one China but allowed for different interpretations.
