Late Tuesday, Nine Newspapers reported that an anonymous Chinese official had provided it with a document laying out more than a dozen complaints against Australia, ABC News Australia reports. Many of the allegations have been previously made by Chinese officials in recent months. Labor senator Penny Wong said Australia "should always stand up for our values and assert our interests.'' Meanwhile Chinese state media is continuing to berate Australia. Late yesterday, Xinhua also joined the chorus, warning Australia that its "ideological prejudice" was "poisoning relations between China and Australia."
