A heated public dispute has erupted between former Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison and billionaire Andrew 'Twiggy' Forrest over the nation's approach to China.
Morrison issued a stern warning about Beijing's intentions, criticizing Forrest's recent praise of Chinese President Xi Jinping as naive and self-serving. Forrest, in turn, accused Morrison of unnecessarily vilifying China and argued for a more cooperative relationship, citing economic benefits. The debate highlights deep divisions within Australia's political and business communities regarding how to balance national security concerns with economic interests in dealing with China.
The controversy comes as current leaders seek to reset diplomatic ties with Beijing after years of tension.
