China's Mid-Itchen Foreign Policy Towards Close Strategic Partners

The one exception indeed that stands out in the Indo-Pacific or among the court countries is China's posture towards Australia, where previous punitive economic measures have begun to be removed and minichyrel level political contact has resumed. So apart from Australia, China's mid-itchen foreign policy towards close strategic partners of the US and India appears to have changed very little. I argue that it is not only important to see whether there is a substantive shift on the Chinese policy front, but also how it is being received in these countries.
