'A rift between two countries hurts millions': Chinese diplomat Press Club address compares Beijing and Canberra to married couple

And all this when Wuhan — and much of China — were taking their first tentative steps out of lockdown.

This was the moment he quoted — rather dramatically — Julius Caesar's famous last lines of betrayal penned by Shakespeare: "Et tu, Brute?"But sadly, there's no evidence that Julius Caesar ever actually said these words. The main reason for this is that the Morrison Government is more focussed on what the Chinese Government does than what it says.

But they're also grappling with relentless and pernicious cyber-attacks emanating from China, the Chinese Government's persistent meddling in Australia's Chinese diaspora, and a series of thinly-veiled trade punishments meted out from Beijing.

We really have no idea how to handle China. It’s an absolute hoot. Good on the Diplomat for fronting up and laying their cards on the table as we continually duck n dive.

I don't understand how Australia thought it'd be exempt from China's thuggery. Counting on them to prop up Australia's economy was the beginning of the end for us. The Chinese government treats its own citizens like dogs, I can only imagine what they think of Australians.

Morrison has put his own relationship with Trump and Pompeo (a fellow evangelical who believes in the Rapture) ahead of the relationship between Australia and China.

Admittance of mistake is more important than blame, and I hope our countries can be mature enough to turn it into a conversation, that despite the past, a positive future can be mutually achieved.
