Although used colloquially with various meanings, the most common definition of ambassador is the official title given to an envoy, especially a high-ranking diplomat, who represents a state and is usually accredited to another sovereign state or to an international organization as the resident representative of their own government or sovereign or appointed for a special and often temporary diplomatic assignment.
In many cases, statements by Chinese ambassadors that criticise another country, such as Australia, are deemed inappropriate and aggressive, while openly hostile statements by government ministers and officials in Australia or the US are considered to be evidence of 'healthy disagreement'.
