“…An Attorney General spokesman stated that “as a strategic and significant government investment, we have a responsibility to do our utmost to protect NBN’s integrity”, which is consistent with “the government’s practice for ensuring the security and resilience of Australia’s critical infrastructure more broadly” (Akcali Gur, 2021). Following this, in 2018, Huawei (though not specifically named) were further banned from participating in the development of the Australian 5G network (Lee et al , 2022). Although this decision was met with resistance from both the Chinese government and the Huawei corporation, the Australian government suggested that the ban was not specific to Huawei, as the ban was extended to “any high risk vendors” [5].…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate that the national security exception will not allow governments to respond to cyberspace threats within the confines of the world trade organization (WTO) rules. Design/methodology/approach This paper is a desktop study of international trade laws with a specific focus on the convergence of cybersecurity measures and the national security exception provisions of the WTO. Findings The trends towards cybersecurity measures may mean there will inevitably be an evolution of trade norms. The question is, will the collective of the WTO be a part of the evolution, or merely an observer? In the authors’ view, it is crucial that it is the former. Originality/value This study makes three contributions. It provides a literature review and discussion on cybersecurity and the impact on trade. It demonstrates that the national security exception provision will not excuse these measures, and it aims to underscore the importance of the WTO as a community of nations where negotiation on important global issues is possible.

“…Increasing local competition and Chinese government interventions also create further barriers for global firms to China's domestic market [11]. As Chinese firms experience a less friendly welcome in global markets, as highlighted in the case of Huawei, foreign global firms are becoming more cautious in their strategic alliance with Chinese firms, and their direct investment in China has also decreased over the years [12].…”

As global pressures mount to diversify supply chain strategies beyond China, the concept of “Altasia” has emerged, encompassing 14 alternative countries. This study offers a comprehensive framework describing the historical context, driving factors, and theoretical underpinnings motivating the global shift away from China. Our research model delineates the strategic pathways employed by multinational corporations to navigate the decoupling process, particularly in identifying alternative manufacturing hubs across the Altasia region. This article critically examines the multifaceted challenges and opportunities inherent in Altasia as a collective entity comprising these 14 alternative countries. Furthermore, it explores the transformative implications of this paradigm shift on the broader global supply chain ecosystem. In conclusion, we highlight the forward-looking significance of these findings, shedding light on avenues for future research endeavors in this evolving landscape.

“…However, the two countries are still unable to reach an accommodation on the issue of Internet Communication Technology in the short term, and Australia will keep considering the threat of China's rise to its national security in all aspects of its policymaking. Some scholars even believe that the key to Australia, Japan, and Korea's responses to the United States' Huawei ban alliance has nothing to do with the alliance itself, but with their different assessments of security risks related to Chinese technology [27].…”

Australia’s Foreign Policy towards China from the Perspective of the Multiple Stream Framework

The relationship between China and Australia has maintained a trend of fluctuating development for a long period since the establishment of diplomatic ties. However, around 2017, Australia gradually adopted negative policies towards China, and the relationship between the two countries cooled down rapidly, with no obvious easing trend. Based on the Multiple Stream Framework, this paper attempts to use the China5G case to analyze the factors contributing to Australia's negative foreign policy toward China. The paper argues that the definition of problems by the top governmental officials and the urgency of the problem mutually determine whether the final resolution is negative or positive toward a country; that the complexity of domestic political party structure and electoral politics imply the preference for national policy; and that the lead of public opinion, as well as the government's political intention to maintain the rule of legality, are the key factors affecting the policy orientation. This analysis aims to better understand the deep connotation of the relationship between China and Australia and provides a thinking path for improving relations between the two countries. It also refers to analyzing the attitudes towards China's rise from other countries in the Asia-Pacific region.
