China threatens Australia over Port of Darwin call

China threatens Australia over Port of Darwin call

#china #australia #trump #darwin

China has just threatened Australia, saying the Albanese Government's vow to take back the Port of Darwin could destroy the two countries' relationship.

Before the 2025 Australian federal election, Labor pledged to win the Port back if they were re-elected.

The Prime Minister said Landbridge, the Chinese company that currently leases the Darwin port, would either have to sell it, or Australia would take it back by force.

Now, China’s Ambassador to Australia says this would jeopardise our relationship, calling the decision “ethically questionable”. His comments come just months after a series of Chinese warships were spotted near Australian waters.

It also follows reports an American firm linked to the Trump administration is showing interest in acquiring the port lease.

As tensions continue to rise, what will Australia do next?
