SYDNEY: Hillary Clinton warned Australia and other democracies Monday to be on guard against growing interference in their domestic politics by China and Russia. Clinton added: “I don’t care what side of the political aisle you might be on, in either Australia or the United States. Clinton said despite deepening trade relations with China, democracies could not ignore foreign interference. “Australia has a lot of interests with China, certainly your economy is intertwined with China,” she said. An Australian senator quit parliament in December over his relationship with a wealthy political donor associated with the Chinese Communist Party.
