联邦反对党领袖TONY ABBOTT近日在北京展现了一种新的强硬外交政策风格，要求中国共产党放松对政权的铁腕统治。
与此同时，他暗示一旦联盟党上台执政，他将对中国在澳洲的投资以及中方在地区水域因领土争端而炫耀武力的做法采取更强力的干预措施。
TONY ABBOTT先生此番言论使他能够把自己打造成为价值观趋导的领导人，从而远离国内关于碳税发生的种种纷乱争吵。
但是，这可能会危及已占主导地位的中澳经济关系，造成经济领域的大动荡。
澳洲对中国的出口目前已占对外出口总额的四分之一，这使得澳洲长达一个世纪的经济繁荣奇迹得以延续。
TONY ABBOTT昨天在北京的一个商务早餐会中，再次提醒中国领导人，中国在政治领域的改革无法跟上其在经济领域杰出改革的步伐。
他说：“中国人民仍然无法选择自己的政府”，即使他们的财富、教育水平、知情权，以及自由地生活和工作在他们喜欢的地方的权利日益增加。
“在这个问题上，我想的是，会在什么情况下以及怎样，中国才可以而且应该开放其政治体制”，在向澳中商会发表的演说中，他说， “作为总理，我会希望中国进行政治改革，以符合中国的经济自由化程度。”
联邦贸易部长Craig Emerson昨晚称， ABBOTT的发言是“倨傲且无礼的”。
“而且他的政策会使得澳洲在北京眼里成为一个主权投资高风险国家。”
TONY ABBOTT是周日早上对中国进行访问的，期间他还充满感情地以私人身份探访了一家被中国官方严厉处罚的天主教教会。
周一，中方以候任首相的待遇宴请了TONY ABBOTT，并有一群高级别领导人相陪。
席间，中方多次提及中方投资在澳洲所受的待遇问题。
不过很显然，这没有打动ABBOTT。
随后，他便在次日的演讲中阐述了一旦他当选总理，将执行更加严厉审查外资购并的政策。
“允许一个外国政府或其代理人控制一家澳洲企业，极少是符合澳洲利益的。因为我们本来就不赞成企业国有化，更不用说还是外国的国有企业”
他特别指出，来自中国的投资是以国有企业为主力的。
按照他的政策，他欢迎来自中国对于尚未开垦的领域的开发，比如新矿藏的勘探开发以及农业开发项目。但是，对于中国国有企业收购一家正常运营的澳洲公司的企图会加以遏制。由此看来，中国国有企业收购现有矿业公司的计划很可能会失败。
联邦贸易部长Craig Emerson称，ABBOTT的外资投资政策是两面派，一方面他跟中国人说我们欢迎你们的投资，然后转过脸对澳洲人说，“除非他们踏过我的尸体。”
ABBOTT还谈到了在世界最有可能爆发军事冲突地区之一的南海区域，澳洲如何在保护东南亚国家免受来自中国的欺压中扮演角色。
“没有一个大国应该对小国肆意妄为，只因为它有这个能力。” 他说，“在联盟党政府领导下，澳洲将尽一切努力来确保南中国海领土纠纷能在国际法的原则下和平解决。”
虽然很多分析家与ABBOTT对于中国政治制度，对外领土争端等有相同的意见，但很少有政治领导人会像ABBOTT那样，在中国如此公开评论。
鉴于缺乏信任，根据澳洲政府对于防范间谍活动的指南，ABBOTT一行在进入中国大陆后，只使用临时手机和个人邮箱，而没有携带自己的日常电话和手提电脑。
FEDERAL Opposition Leader Tony Abbott has unveiled a bold new style of foreign policy that challenges the Chinese Communist Party to loosen its iron grip on political power.
He has also signalled a more interventionist approach to Chinese investment in Australia and to territorial muscle-flexing by China in regional waters.
Mr Abbott's promise of a more assertive China policy from Australia enables him to define himself as a values-driven leader, far from the fray of the domestic carbon debate.

But it also risks causing major turbulence in what has become Australia's dominant economic relationship.
China accounts for a quarter of Australian exports and has underpinned Australia's greatest economic boom in more than a century.
At a business breakfast meeting in Beijing yesterday, Mr Abbott repeatedly reminded the Chinese leadership that change in the country's political system had failed to keep pace with its "remarkable" economic transformation.
He said the Chinese people ''still can't choose their government'' even though they were increasingly prosperous, educated, informed and free to live and work where they liked.
"The question, I suppose, is how and in what circumstances China can and should liberalise its polity," Mr Abbott said during his speech to the China-Australia Chamber of Commerce. ''As prime minister I would hope for political reform to match China's economic liberalisation.''
Trade Minister Craig Emerson said last night that Mr Abbott's comments were ''patronising and offensive''.
''And his policies would make Australia a high sovereign risk country in China's eyes.''
Mr Abbott's visit to China began on Sunday morning with a private and emotional stop at a government-sanctioned Catholic church.
On Monday he was feted like a prime-minister-in-waiting and given an audience with a series of high-ranking leaders.
His hosts repeatedly raised questions about the treatment of Chinese investment in Australia and are unlikely to be pleased by Mr Abbott's move yesterday to unveil a tough new test for foreign investment should he win government.
"It would rarely be in Australia's interests to allow a foreign government or its agencies to control an Australian business," he said, noting that Chinese investment was dominated by state-owned enterprises.
"That's because we don't support the nationalisation of businesses by the Australian government, let alone a foreign one."
It is understood that an Abbott investment regime would welcome Chinese government investment in ''greenfield'' start-up businesses, such as new mining or agricultural projects, but would reject most Chinese government takeover attempts of established enterprises. A Chinese move to take control of a viable Australian
mining company would probably fail.
Mr Emerson accused Mr Abbott of having a two-faced investment policy, under which he told Chinese officials that he welcomed Chinese investment while telling Australians, "over my dead body".
Mr Abbott also spoke out on the situation in one of the world's most militarily volatile regions by staking a role for Australia in protecting south-east Asian nations from Chinese bullying.
"No big country is entitled to get its way with smaller countries just because it can," he said. "Under a Coalition government, Australia will do what it can to ensure that territorial disputes in the South China Sea are managed peacefully in accordance with international law."
Many analysts inside and outside China share Mr Abbott's concerns about the risk of Chinese territorial aggression, the state's role in the economy and the growing mismatch between a rapidly liberalising society and the Communist Party's dogged insistence on absolute political power. But few political leaders have said as much so openly in China.
Mr Abbott intends to minimise the risk of Chinese diplomatic or economic retaliation by delivering his political messages "respectfully", avoiding "gratuitous public advice" and mostly confining questions on human rights to closed-door forums.
His critiques are nevertheless a major departure from previous Labor and Coalition governments, which endeavoured to minimise public differences in what has become Australia's most challenging and consequential diplomatic relationship. "The next Coalition government will stand up for Australia's interests and values," the Opposition Leader said.
Hugh White, professor of strategic studies at the Australian National University, said Mr Abbott believed that former prime minister John Howard's approach to managing China would work for an Abbott government.
''The problem is the Howard approach worked 15 years ago, but today's China is a very different country,'' he said. ''It's much stronger, much more important to Australia, and its relationship to America is much more contested.''
Mr Abbott's Beijing speech follows his trip to the United States where he met leaders on both sides of American politics and was struck by their near-obsession with China's rise.
Underscoring a lack of trust, Mr Abbott and his party used temporary phones and personal email accounts after entering mainland China, rather than their usual phones or laptops, in accordance with Australian government guidance against Chinese espionage.
