Relations between Australia and China has soured over the past few weeks after the government called for an independent inquiry into the origins of COVID-19. China has furiously rejected calls for an independent inquiry and warned it could boycott Australia’s education, tourism, and export sectors in retaliation.
The stoush has further strained the relationship which was already in the deep freeze over the Turnbull Government’s decision to ban Huawei from the 5G rollout. Despite this, China remains Australia’s largest trading partner and accounts for 26 per cent of its trade around the world. Mr Canavan told Sky News the current situation has shown Australia has a “dependent trade relationship” with China.

China turning its dispute with Australia into a 'China versus US issue' | Sky News AustraliaThe Chinese Communist government is trying to make its dispute with Australia a 'China versus US issue,' but it has nothing to do with President Donald Trump, it is about the 'origins of a virus that is creating havoc' says Sky News host Chris Kenny.\n\nIn recent weeks China - primarily through its Ambassador to Australia Jingye Cheng - has 'bristled' at Australia's call for an independent global investigation into the origins of the virus.\n\nThe Ambassador first threatened a potential consumer boycott on Australian exports, and then on Tuesday leaked a private conversation with Secretary of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade Frances Adamson.\n\n'You'd think China would welcome it but instead they take it as a slight, and worse they bully Australia through their ambassador,' he said.\n\nMr Kenny said the issue of an international investigation should be about 'shared global vulnerability and therefore global co-operation'.\n\n'It's time we heard from many more countries on this, supporting Australia's logical position, and putting pressure on Beijing'.\n\nResources Minister Keith Pitt told Mr Kenny what is important is 'ensuring what's happening right around the world right now never ever again'.\n\nImage: AP It is Morrison and Dutton want the focus from Aussie paedo churches to be shifted away. Would we be happy if China called for a global investigation into Australia.

China shows 'the gloves are off' by leaking private conversations | Sky News AustraliaCommunist China leaking sensitive conversations of senior Australian public servants demonstrates it is 'not interested in returning to the status quo' with Australia says former Labor minister Stephen Conroy.\n\nMr Conroy told Sky News host Peta Credlin the Chinese government on Tuesday leaked 'some edited comments' from a phone call with the Secretary of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade Frances Adamson.\n\n'That leaking to their own advantage of a private conversation demonstrates they're not interested in returning to the status quo'.\n\nHe said the Chinese communist government 'want to bend Australia to its will'.\n Well, we can also take the ice hockey approach with China. Drop the gloves, grab them by the jersey, pull it over their heads and then punch the living shit out of them. Simple that status quo was Australia selling 1/3 of its exports to Australia. It is ludicrous for silly right-wing politicians to antagonise China for no result. We face an enormous recession. Do we wan to lose our best customer? Stuff them. China. We have fought wars to keep our sovereign status & lost millions of lives protecting our rights. So will we give in to the communists now. Nope. Bring it on if required. We will do it again if necessary. Protecting our sovereignty. China be ware.

China is becoming 'increasingly belligerent' | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Peta Credlin says instead of showing humility one would expect from a country which was the source of 'all this loss of life,' China is 'posing as the world's saviour' while making threats against anyone demanding transparency.\n\n'If there's one thing that the corona crisis has exposed, it's just how complicated and how difficult our relation with China really is,' Ms Credlin said.\n\nAfter opening its economy up to the world in a series of liberal economic reforms, Australia became a major beneficiary to the tune of $130 billion of China's booming manufacturing sector.\n\nChinese students coming into Australia, 'were another gold mine,' and none of these developments seemed to be a problem then, at least while China was 'biding its time and hiding its strength'.\n\n'But from 2015, all that started to change, China started to militarise the South China Sea and stepped up bullying its neighbours,' she said.\n\nThen the coronavirus crisis occurred which featured Chinese doctors 'arrested for spreading 'false rumours,' China being too slow to admit human-to-human transmission, and the 'China-dominated World Health Organisation kept congratulating China for its transparency'.\n\n'Regrettably, China's ambassador to Australia has been one of the most belligerent of the regimes mouth pieces, threatening to damage our economy by cutting exports and tourism numbers if Australia didn't show them more respect'.\n\n'Even though it is absolutely our right to demand a proper explanation for this disease that has killed Australians, and crippled, our economy'.\n\n'2020 is the Chinese year of the rat, funny about that'.\n And attempting to use our own business leaders like Twiggy Forrest to push their narrative. I’d be astounded if Credlin can even spell humility. She never displays a scrap of it, so I’ll pass when it comes to who she reckons ought to
