China-Australia
Australian Education Minister Alan Tudge accuses China of spreading 'disinformation'
Canberra: Australia's Education Minister Alan Tudge has alleged that China is spreading “disinformation” after Beijing warned students against studying in Australia.
China’s Ministry of Education reportedly told students on Friday to make a “full risk assessment” about going to Australia following reports of racism, anti-Chinese attacks and concerns about the coronavirus pandemic, reports news.com.au.
Slamming China, the Australian Minister said the nation is one of the safest and most welcoming destinations for international students.
“I reject China’s assertions that it is unsafe to visit or study in Australia - this is disinformation,” he was quoted as saying by news portal.
“Australia holds itself to a far higher standard than most other nations - we don‘t tolerate racism, and we certainly don’t tolerate violence," he said.
The relationship between China and Australia has deteriorated in recent times.
