Abbott said what needed to be said about China

by: John Lee From: The Australian July 26, 2012

THE reporting of Tony Abbott's speech on Tuesday to AustCham in Beijing by China's state-owned press was filled with platitudes about strengthening co-operation between the two countries.

Predictably, official news outlets such as Xinhua left out some of the Opposition Leader's more confronting statements such as the one that China would prosper even more if "its people enjoyed freedom under the law and the right to choose a government".

Bold comment on the values of other governments will leave some former diplomats fretting and tut-tutting about disrespecting our largest trading partner.

But focusing on values also matters for other reasons. Whether Abbott knows it or not, he is simply reaffirming what many prominent Chinese economists are already saying about what the country needs to do to build a surer foundation for further prosperity.

Xinhua distorts what you said - you must have said something true.

Don't be batty. Are they going to start a war if you tell them not to oppress their people? And you would rather that everyone shut up about it?

You just don't make statements like that even if they're true.
