Beijing-Sana

China announced the suspension of part of its economic cooperation with Australia, amid deep tension with Canberra, which announced last month that it wanted to cancel an agreement on the Chinese Silk Roads project.

"This Australian position aims to disrupt the normal exchanges and cooperation with China in the mentality of a cold war and ideological discrimination," the top Chinese planning agency said in a statement today reported by AFP.

According to the statement, Beijing will suspend the China-Australia Strategic Economic Dialogue and all activities related to it indefinitely.

Tensions between the two countries have continued to escalate since 2018 due to disagreements on a growing number of topics, from the technology of the 5G network to accusations of espionage to the Hong Kong file and the origin of the Corona virus.

The Australian federal government announced last month that it was ending an agreement signed by the state of Victoria to join the New Silk Roads project, which was launched in 2013 at the initiative of Chinese President Xi Jinping and aims to improve trade links between Asia, Europe, Africa and even beyond by building ports, railways, airports and complexes.
