China says it’s still ready to “recalibrate and reinvigorate” its ties with Australia, despite Prime Minister Anthony Albanese dismissing a 4-point list of demands issued by Beijing.. to repair relations. The battle for influence in the Pacific will be front of mind at a leaders forum in Fiji today.
It comes as Australia and the United States enter into a new partnership – to bolster energy and security – to counter China’s growing influence.
There have been suggestions that pressure from China prompted one of the island nations to pull out of discussions.. at the last minute. Foreign Minister Penny Wong joins Sunrise for a live interview.

Australia won't improve its relationship with China. As a vassal state of america, Australia must do America's bidding.
When you banned Huawei without any evidence of spying, you broke the free trade rule and consist treating China as an enemy, I dont see why China will lift any ban on Australian products
How do public servants get to do this to the people? Too many people haven't done their own research yet still have an opinion
recalibrate…hmm..never heard it called that before. "just bend over and be calibrated"
I love the new narrative .. R&R … the word to China should be PO and learn to be democratic. The world doesnt need China .. China needs the world to survive. Our socialist leaders will bow to them.
Eg more politicians selling assets to china
No punishment now, give you a candy.
If you don't ask for the reason for where the virus from wuhan, i will back to normal with you.
Hopefully not by cow towing.
Selling out to Communism anyone surprised in Australia
So she says nothing absolutely nothing at all
Good to see the US is engaging
making delisional enemies is the specialty of saxons.
Your going great Penny, keep up the good work.
Recalibrated In what way? Are we getting the stick removed and replaced from our back sides with an BIGGER and THICKER one, with a shade of COMMUNIST RED?
How can you treat them as a partner while also holding them accountable for letting this bio weapon spread and make so many Australians horribly ill or even die. Where's the accountability??
“Who is going to win over the Pacific” Most Pacific states are sovereign nations. All of the sudden Western countries care more about the Pacific then they ever have because of China’s “Influence”
Yeah nah!
Please please never trust China, Never Trust China, or Australia may endorse its evil , great evil behaviour done to Hong Kong
Never trust China
Wong obviously dislikes the questions being asked by 7 news. 7 NEWS prefers to sit aside with the US, but not with Australians' interest. Is this channel funded by the US background or what?
Peggy changed her communication tune with China, different to what was reported in earlier media news. So, did the media misinterpreted what she said.
….
Who said China "wants" to be friends? Smh. They are just saying if you want to be friends then do that first. If not, then as we have done for the last couple of years, ignore your phone calls.
Never forget tianeman square
Look up uyghur work camps
be careful what you wish for
In Japan there is literally not word for 'NO'. So in they word and action they just tell you 'no' but just not saying yes. It is not very efficient. I am sure the Chinese have something similar. Are you sure the Chinese are not tell you to go to hell by saying you are not going to heaven. Australia really needs China a lot more than China needs Australia.
Australia ki jia kow sai te sai gu sai.
Trust China—. NO WAY. !
Australia is one of the 5 eyes alliance ganging up on China.
Australia is attack dog for US.
China shall not trust US led Australia.
No RECALIBRATE until Australia complies with all the POINTS issued by China.
Australia bites the hands that feed her for many decades.
Australia wants to talk with China, much like Joe wants to talk with Xi. They want something from China, but keep provoking China. China is not stupid to fall for the tricks.
Please DON'T bother to misconstrue Wang Yi (or China MFA) statement !
China only made 4-suggestions (not demands) for a meaningful Aust-China relation.. and it is up to Australia to take it OR leave it!!!
Btw, China NEVER (for once) claim wanting to 'recalibrate' with Australia!! SHOW ME the evidence & who made such a foolish claim!!
And please don't bother to mislead Aussie with "self-infatuation diplomacy" !!! I want to puke !!!!!!!!!!
should be australia wanting to
