Background: In the New Year 2024, Australia sees the light
of hope for the development of relations with China. Relations
began to strain when Australia called for an independent
investigation into the origin of the coronavirus, and the Chinese
government-imposed import bans on almost everything that
Australia used to export to China. This ban created a problem
between the two countries. The joining of Australia in the QUAD
military alliance further strained relations, but the relationship is
gradually improving.
