abc.net.au/news/china-accuses-australia-of-sabotaging-fiji-relationship/102317374China has accused Australia of trying to sabotage its relationship with Fiji as questions swirl over whether the Pacific Island country will cut security and law enforcement ties with Beijing.Fijian Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka has repeatedly said that he will scrap a 2011 police cooperation agreement with China
Late last week the Chinese embassy in Fiji issued its sharpest statement yet on the issue, saying it hoped "relevant parties" would "abandon ideological prejudice, and view the law enforcement and police cooperation between China and Fiji objectively and rationally". That message was backed up by China's Special Envoy to the Pacific, Qian Bo, who told the Samoa Observer he was "surprised" by Fiji's actions, blaming "other parties" who had "interrupted" the relationship.
Fiji's Home Affairs Minister Pio Tikoduadua has contradicted Sitiveni Rabuka on the status of a police cooperation agreement with China.
