Australia and Britain have jointly criticized China for its actions in Hong Kong, the South China Sea, and its support for Russia. The two countries have raised concerns over China's increasing assertiveness in the region and its disregard for international norms.

In Hong Kong, Australia and Britain have condemned China's imposition of the controversial national security law, which they view as a violation of the 'one country, two systems' principle. They have called for the protection of Hong Kong's autonomy and the rights of its residents.

Regarding the South China Sea, Australia and Britain have expressed alarm over China's militarization of the disputed waters and its aggressive behavior towards neighboring countries. They have called for peaceful resolution of disputes in accordance with international law.

Furthermore, Australia and Britain have criticized China for its support of Russia, particularly in light of Russia's actions in Ukraine and its interference in other countries' internal affairs. They have urged China to uphold the principles of sovereignty and non-interference in the affairs of other nations.

The joint statement by Australia and Britain reflects growing international concern over China's foreign policy and its impact on regional stability.
