China has laid the blame back on Australia for the deteriorating relationship between the two countries, saying it was not responsible for a breakdown in communication after more than a year of trade strikes on $20 billion worth of exports. Eryk Bagshaw...

that the US was “not going to leave Australia alone on the field”. He said the Biden administration would make it clear to Beijing that the US was not prepared to improve bilateral relations with China “at the same time that a close and dear ally is being subjected to a form of economic coercion”.

In a significant change in tone in how Beijing views the evolving relationship with Washington after President Biden’s election win, Zhao said he hoped “the two sides can have candid talks on issues of common concern”. “The two sides should respect and treat each other as equals, enhance mutual understanding through dialogue, manage and dissolve differences and bring China-US relations back to the right track,” he said.

Seems a very one sided commentary. If USA sticks up for us I hope China relents. If not then we know where we stand

This is the typical behavior of a government with no accountability. I can see the same happening here in Australia.

Amazing how people want to do business with a country that is actively practicing mass genocide with concentration camps etc. today 3 idiots planned a terrorist attack in 🇦🇺, whilst millions of their Muslim cousins are being slaughtered in China. Go figure

Let me see, last I recall Australian banned no goods from China while China banned half a dozen from Australia.

Definitely not Scotty’s fault that those disease carrying, funny looking and sounding people take offence to the intellectual and diplomatic giants of the Australian LNP

Fuck them!

We have Murdoch, they have state censorship

We need to learn to appreciate the hand that feeds us. It's not blonde hair blue eyes Jesus. It's the Chinese bureaucrats and politicians We will get the business back but only under a Labour government with MrKRudd leading the charge. SenatorWong tanya_plibersek

Nice try China but you’re still in breach of our FTA which is registered with the WTO. You can throw as many tantrums as you like but nothing will deny this fact.

That is exactly true

No not Australia's fault, just Scotty from marketing trying to be the annoying oranges best mate. Echoing his false claim about the origins of the virus. Lucky I live in Australia and can type this stuff without have bullets shot at me. 'Isn't that right Scotty?

They’ve obviously been watching Morrison’s performances in QT, Parliament and learned a few things!

Sorry, what now? Who threw their toys out of the cot like a bunch of 2 year olds? Who refuses, even now to be open and transparent about Covid-19? Honestly, sit the hell down China and look at your role in this before casting aspersions onto others

US should allow the independent investigation team to look into its Fort Detrick lab. Looking at the timeline of the shutdown of the lab, the disappearance of the lung disease “linked to vaping”, and the outbreak of the COVID-19, it is suspicious.

Yes Australia looks like the wreckless US deputy's sheriff China looks like the emotional tit for tat graduate from the Trump's school of vengeful scream and punch.

They are so self-righteous and such control freaks.

I wouldn’t deal with Scomo neither. Worst Prime Minister in history.

Bullshit!

China are a disgrace

Australia is the one to be blamed. IF you keep scolding and insulting your customer for years. what do you expect the relationship will be? liberal party been following unit4ed state like a dog and accusing China and now you expect China to treat you like a queen? come on !!

China laying blame on someone else is such a ‘China’ thing to do. Imagine the government propaganda being spread by their dictatorship. They probably blame durex for their overpopulation to.

Just as other wars based on the lies we told, impacted, brutally, on millions of INNOCENT human beings. So too, this war, only economically. It is about time we stopped believing,'if you tell a lie often enough, it becomes the truth' !!

Labor suspended the live export trade to Indonesia for 4 weeks and there was uproar. The Libs lost the wine, the lobster the timber and whatever else trade to China and crickets. 🦗

That's what we get when we did Trump's dirty work.

AS in any war, the first casualty is the truth. Be it 'the Domino Theory' or 'Weapons of Mass Destruction', they were based entirely on lies! And so it is with this Cold-War with China. We started it together with the US with lies, about COVID 19, and other related matters.

China's criterion for 'maintaining a good relationship': - Do what China says, because China is always right. Especially if they say that pigs will fly.

the point is oz is becoming usa 🐕‍🦺🐕‍🦺🐕‍🦺🐕‍🦺

Sounds like China still full of shit

China could never admit they did anything wrong. They are always right!

After all it wasn't China that spat the dummy, now was it?

‘Full-scale war’: China situation escalatesAn expert has warned the risk of a full-scale war involving China is increasing which an Aussie general says would be “disastrous”. All words no action. Good try At least unplug China and Russia from the internet so we do not all get sucked into the BS propaganda, and misinformation campaigns. The CCP will attack when they think they can win. They may not have the military superiority of the US, but they are getting closer. What they do have is sheer willpower to keep going until they get what they want. The US will for war currently is weak. Pray for Taiwan.

Australia slams Europe over missing AstraZeneca vaccine dosesA war of words has erupted between Australia and Europe over COVID-19 vaccines with Prime Minister Scott Morrison saying millions of vaccine doses ordered by Australia simply “did not turn up”. “3.1 million of the contracted vaccines that we had been relying upon in early January when we’d set out a series of targets did not turn up in Australia,” PM ScottMorrisonMP said. I don't see anything wrong when other countries take protectionist measures. It's the karma catching up with this government. You close borders to own citizens and separate families. The media believes Scotty from marketing all over again!!!!

Australia's ambassador to China says Beijing's trade behaviour 'vindictive'It comes as officials from the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade confirmed that Australian trade with China had plummeted across almost all industries. I get Trump started but by god Scumo made it so much worse. it would be best if we tone down finger pointing abt HK &Xinjiang Not our biz Are we prepared to lose $-bils in trade for petty moral outrage? We should be independent without being a barking dog US vowed to bring China's Government down, to turn its people against it. It classed China an 'existential threat' and vowed to unite allies against it. We lead the charge on its behalf. If vindictive is responding to unilateral, harmful attacks, China is guilty as charged.
