A tale of two nations
两个国家的故事
New Zealand and Australia are formal allies but the two countries have distinct relationships with Beijing.
新西兰和澳大利亚是正式盟友，但两国与北京有着截然不同的关系。
Australia has had a more adversarial relationship, particularly under the government of Scott Morrison, who labelled China as a bully engaged in “economic coercion”.
澳大利亚的关系更具对抗性，特别是在斯科特·莫里森（Scott Morrison）政府的领导下，莫里森将中国称为从事“经济胁迫”的恶霸。
In 2020, China levied trade tariffs which cost Australian business an estimated AU$20 billion (NZ$21.6 billion), which have since been eased to about one-tenth of that value.
2020年，中国征收贸易关税，使澳大利亚企业损失约200亿澳元（216亿新西兰元），此后已降至该价值的十分之一左右。
New Zealand has enjoyed the benefits of strong economic ties in recent years, as the first developed country to sign a bilateral free trade deal with Beijing in 2008.
近年来，新西兰作为第一个在2008年与北京签署双边自由贸易协定的发达国家，享受了强大的经济联系的好处。
While in Wellington, Yang also held brief meetings with Prime Minister Christopher Luxon and Trade Minister Todd McClay.
在惠灵顿期间，杨洁篪还与总理克里斯托弗·卢克森（Christopher Luxon）和贸易部长托德·麦克雷（Todd McClay）举行了简短的会晤。
“China looks forward to working with the two countries to deliver on the common understandings between the leaders, enhance strategic communication, deepen mutual trust, advance exchanges and co-operation, promote the steady and sustained growth of the China-New Zealand and China-Australia comprehensive strategic partnerships and contribute to world peace, stability and prosperity,” foreign ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said.
外交部发言人汪文斌说：“中方期待同两国一道，落实领导人共识，加强战略沟通，深化互信，推进交流合作，推动中新、中澳全面战略伙伴关系稳步持续发展，为世界和平、稳定与繁荣作出贡献。
