In the face of the rise of China in the 21 st century and the implementation of the strategy of "Asia-Pacific rebalancing" in the United States, the economic interests and security interests of Australia have separated for the first time in the history. Facing the two world powers, Australia has adopted a strategy of hedging its bets in China and the United States, namely "economy depends on China, security depends on the United States". In particular, Australia has adopted a distinctive hedge strategy towards China. On the one hand, Australia has continued to maintain contact with China, strengthened cooperation with China in political and economic aspects; On the other hand, Australia has deepened military alliance with the United States, and cooperated with Japan, South Korea,India and other powers in the Asia-pacific region in the economic and security field, and participated in the area of institutional construction, promoted itself as a "middle power" in the diplomatic strategy space,ensured that the economy of Australian continues to boom in the 21 st century on the basis of ensuring the country’s security and stability.In the face of the hedge strategy toward China carried out by Australia, China should think it rationally. The rise of any country can cause the panic of relevant countries. In the coming years, although the relations between the two countries in political trust will not be very well, but economic and trade relations,people-to-people and cultural exchanges will continue to move forward. In the coming years, China should make full use of time strategy and strategy of the global network,establish close tripartite mechanism with Australia and US. And make use of the constructive role of overseas Chinese in Australia to promote developing China-Australia relations between the two countries.
