China urged the Australian government to stop wrongdoing which interferes with economic and trade cooperation between the two countries, and take actions to promote the healthy growth of bilateral relations, said the Ministry of Commerce on Thursday.
The Australian government, in recent months, unreasonably restricted and suppressed China-Australia economic and trade cooperation projects and existing results, which has damaged mutual trust and seriously affected the confidence of companies in developing mutually beneficial cooperation, said Gao Feng, the ministry's spokesman.
As the National Development and Reform Commission, the nation's top economic planner, announced last week that it had indefinitely suspended all activities under the China-Australia Strategic Economic Dialogue, Gao said Australia should take full responsibility for all these moves.
Gao urged Australia to view China-Australia cooperation objectively and rationally, and treat Chinese companies fairly.
