Energy Minister Angus Taylor says Australia's economic relationship with China remains “very, very healthy”. A key human rights partnership between Australia and China was quietly suspended this week – signalling a major step backwards in international relations.
“You’ve got people all across Australia who are selling products to China everyday… we have a very, very strong and positive economic relationship,” he told Sky News Monday. “With all countries with whom we have a strong relationship, there are times when we disagree on things and that is clearly true with China as it is with so many other countries in the world and we should expect that and work through it.

China 'can do as they like' following MP visa cancellation | Sky News AustraliaSky News contributor Gemma Tognini says 'I was really quite surprised' by China's call for Liberal MPs to 'repent' before being allowed into the country. \n\nChina is demanding Liberal MPs Andrew Hastie and James Paterson 'repent and redress their mistakes' if they want to visit Beijing. \n\nThe pair were due to travel to the country as part of a study tour, however on Friday it was revealed their visas had been cancelled. \n\nBoth MPs have publicly criticised China for recent human rights abuses, as well as perceived attempts to exert influence in Australia. \n\nMs Tognini defend the Chinese government's ability to 'say whatever it likes and allow whoever it likes into its country'. \n\n'Let's not pretend the Australian government doesn't enjoy the same sovereignty,' she said. \n\nImage: Getty It just goes to show what a sick and twisted regime it really is. The people of Hong Kong know what they’re in for and Hastie’s treatment by China is actually farcical. Should be of no surprise based on many media reports over time of people and nations having to accept the way of the emperor and bow down in order to do business and interact with this great nation. The pope would be envious of the emperors power over the world. Obviously not enough brown paper bags with the Visa application.

The Asian Super power that claims to be a 'developing country', good riddance to them, hopefully they pack up their tents and toddle off.

'Very bad step' on Liberal politicians' part to 'get involved with China' | Sky News AustraliaProfessor at RMIT University Joe Siracusa says the two parliamentarians are “absolutely correct” to criticise China but it was a “very bad step on their part to get involved with those people”.\n \nSenator James Paterson was due to travel to China with MP Andrew Hastie next month but when they called the embassy to arrange their visas they were told they were not welcome. \n \n“They were going to go sponsored by China Matters, which is a private organisation, you’ve got two members of parliament who are going somewhere on someone’s dime to see what China looks like and were obliged to come back and talk about their experiences,” Mr Siracusa told Sky News.\n \n“That is hardly Independent behaviour and I think it was a very bad step on their part to get involved with those people.\n \n“This whole China thing is going to get worse and worse, because China’s ramping up with Hong Kong.”\n Hastie one of the few polis in this country with conviction & a backbone. When did China give RMIT permission to criticise them? Surely some penance will be required less the foerign student stream of income is affected. Well old Joe might feel a little bit better about the slightly messy means of communication in a few months once HK is in flames, and the raw footage of camps, crematoriums and organ harvesting starts to flow out of Chinazi Time to pick a side.
