The two designations are quite different. Asylum seekers have applied for asylum under the Refugee Convention on the Status of Refugees because if they are returned to their country of origin, they have a true fear of persecution based on race, religion, nationality, political belief or group membership. Refugees, on the other hand, are asylum seekers whose application for asylum has been accepted. Refugee can also mean a person fleeing war and disaster, but not necessarily persecution.
yes they should if a Chinese person asks for asylum

Australia is legally bound to respect International obligations to respect human rights of asylum seekers and refugees. However, of late Australia has a changed stance towards refugees. There have been a campaign and advertisements in print media in which prospective asylum seekers and refugees are warned that they will not be able to enter Australia if they try to enter illegally. There have been reports that some asylum seekers were given a boat and told to navigate all the way back to Indonesia.
Among all 44 highly industrialized nations USA has the highest number of prospective asylum seekers (83,400), total number of asylum seekers for Europe were 355,500 and Australia and New Zealand had 16,100 applications for asylum.

Asylum seekers and refugees move due to safety concerns such as persecution, violence, or conflict in their home country. They are often forced to flee in search of protection and a better life for themselves and their families.
People who are displaced are often referred to as refugees, asylum seekers, or internally displaced persons (IDPs), depending on their specific situation.

Economic asylum seekers flee their home countries in search of better economic opportunities, while proper asylum seekers are individuals who flee their home countries due to persecution or danger based on factors like race, religion, political opinion, nationality, or membership in a particular social group. Proper asylum seekers are protected under international law, while economic asylum seekers may not always meet the criteria for asylum.
A refugee can be referred to as an asylum seekertoo. For many obvious reasons there is in fact no apparent difference of treatment between refugees and asylum seekers. Refugees are victims of persecution who have been recognised as fitting the definition of a refugee contained in the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees. For some of the world's refugee population it is either impractical or impossible to go first to a neighbouring country and then to seek resettlement from there. This could be because the neighbouring countries are not signatories to the international laws that would ensure their protection in these countries. In these cases, individuals may choose to try to go directly to a country, such as Australia or the UK, where they can seek protection. Such people are called asylum seekers.
