Summary

Australia’s disparate policies towards Asia’s two politically divided states – China and Korea – remained unchanged after the Liberal-National Country Party coalition government took over from Labor on 11 November 1975. In the case of China, Australia under Fraser continued to maintain official links only with the Communist-led government in Peking; it continued to develop closer bilateral cultural and other ties with the People’s Republic; it continued to avoid having official links with the Nationalist-led government in Taipei; and it continued with the process of isolating the Taiwan government from the international community. These were direct outcomes of the Sino-Australian recognition agreement made by the Labor government on 21 December 1972 by which ’the Australian Government recognised the Government of the People’s Republic of China as the sole legal government of China’.
