China rebukes Australia for halting university research partnerships

中方反对澳方限制打压正常国际教育科研合作

China's Foreign Ministry has pushed back against Australia's move to terminate cooperation agreements between the Australian National University and Shandong University, as well as between the University of Queensland and the Chinese Academy of Sciences. A ministry spokesperson characterized the Australian decision as an overreach of the national security concept that suppresses normal international exchanges.

The report frames the Australian action as an unjustified political interference in academic freedom, using the standard phrase '泛化国家安全概念' (overstretching the concept of national security).
