摘要
As an influential middle power in the Asia-Pacific region, Australia feels ambivalence toward the intensified competition between China and the US. To maximize its national interests, Australia has adopted a "hedging strategy" towards China, the impact of which on the bilateral relationship is of profound concern.
Facing China's rise and the complicated situation in the Asia Pacifi c, Australia adopts a foreign policy in which 'hedging on China' is a noticeable characteristic. On one hand, Australia continues to enhance political and economic relations with China. On the other hand, it consolidates its security alliance with U.S. and strengthens economic and security relations with regional powers like Japan. Meanwhile, it participates actively in regional institution building. By these means, Australia tries to expand its strategic space of diplomacy and ensure economic prosperity and national security.
