Chinese officials probe on Australia's performance relating to the "asylum seekers" issue while they fall about the country's concerns on China's human rights record.

The confidential cables between Australian and American diplomats exposed China's denial of abuses to human rights.

Geoff Raby, Australia's Beijing ambassador, accounted that China had assertively resisted discussion about human rights abuses in Tibet.

According to Fairfax, China's Assistant Foreign Minister He Yafei conveyed great disappointment with former Prime Minister John Howard's 2007 engagement with the Dalai Lama.

During the talk "Chinese officials would employ the 'you-don't-understand-China' laugh and dismiss Australian information as inaccurate...and frequently try to run down the clock with long monologues," Australian diplomats recounted.

Probing about the abuse of terrorism allegations against Indian doctor Mohammed Haneef, the dealings with asylum seekers and the Northern Territory involvement, the Chinese officials posed doubts on Australia's human rights record, instead of hearing what the Australian diplomats had to say.
