China denies allegation of meddling in Australia’s internal affairs
China on Friday denied that it meddles in Australia’s internal affairs and have never interfered in them, according to Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian.
On Thursday, Australian Defence Minister Peter Dutton, said that China had decided to support Australia’s opposition centre-left Labor Party in the upcoming federal elections.
However, Mr Zhao told a briefing that China is not interested in the country’s internal affairs and had never interfered in them.
“We urge several Australian politicians and institutions not to use the Chinese topic,” the ministry spokesperson said.
Mr Dutton’s statement came shortly after Australian Prime Minister, Scott Morrison criticised Labor leader Anthony Albanese for his alleged intention to tolerate economic coercion from Beijing.
The 2022 federal elections are expected to take place in Australia on or before May 21 to elect members of the country’s 47th parliament.
