Australia will not be deputy sheriff in US-China tensions, Morrison declares — Rob Harris and Anthony Galloway

Prime Minister Scott Morrison says Australia's pursuit of its national interests on the world stage has been wrongly interpreted as siding with the United States over China, declaring his government will not make a "binary choice" between the superpowers.

In fresh attempts to thaw the frosty relationship between Canberra and Beijing, Mr Morrison used a speech to a British think tank to declare the most significant geopolitical challenge of the future would be dealing with the complexities of tensions between the world's largest economic and military powers.

Staring reality in the face.
