China's Xi urges preparedness for military combat amid coronavirus epidemic

Those actions were followed by China announcing proposed changes to their national security legislation on Hong Kong.

Chinese Premier Li Keqiang has proposed the security law that would reduce Hong Kong's separate legal status, a move that business leaders and diplomats say could mark a turning point for China's freest city.

In a statement, the largest US business group said it would be "a serious mistake" to jeopardise Hong Kong's special status, which was fundamental to its role as an attractive investment destination and financial hub. "It would be a serious mistake on many levels to jeopardize Hong Kong's special status, which is fundamental to its role as an attractive investment destination and international financial hub," the group said.

It also urged the US Government to maintain constructive ties with Hong Kong and said far-reaching changes to Hong Kong's status as a separate territory under US law would have serious implications for US businesses that operate there.

USA combined with Europe spend US$ 1TRILLION. CHINA Spends US$ 261 Billion WHOS the THREAT JUST ASKING

This kind of speech happening on or military lectures. Why exaggerate it? Simply bcs of antiChinese?

Australian Politicians and big business will always be the lap dogs of China, just watch and weep is all Australians can do

Sabre rattling, the bully is showing the world how strong he is by flexing his muscle. Well, bullies never win or come out on top.

I bet ABC can just tweet a single word 'China' and you'll get a barrage of responses 🤣 . Real money spinner .🤣🤣🤣 cheapclicks

China are self destructing under the latest CCP iteration, undoing decades of economic growth & global goodwill (concessions).

There’re always two sides of a story. But regarding China, you can only hear one side. Only one side. Always one side.

End of China coming too soon🤣🤣🤣

Bring it on Mr Xi.

Combat with whom?

Here we go. Been there done that.

The old 'lets divert attention away from our big stuff up' ....lets have a war

haha yeah nah I wonder why they would be saying this

So China is threating countries with his military not a good idea dick, China v the world

At least Victoria will be safe

Its as if, the losers at the ABC are licking some ass and it ain't the hand that feeds em'

Didn't he just say the other day that China is calling for cooperation and peace? Gutless as always.

'We will do what we can for full expensing and pay the costs of moving if they return their supply chains, and their production back to the United States. That's one of our key policy issues,'.. 'THIS IS WHAT AUSTRALIANS NEED TO DO'. Get manufacturing back on our shores! 🌐

ABC your headline is way off target.

You can do better ABC

This headline is up there with some of the ABC’s finest and completely false climate change alarmist headlines .

Hahaha...'Red Dragon'🐲 is in a very vulnerable position right now, one wrong move with Hong Kong and that will mark the end of the communist rule and the Chinese will celebrate the long awaited independence. HK is like the bast*rd child of China & the West amid custody battle!😁

title different from the content. stop creating conflicts among nations please...fellow media...

We should send Pauline H. and Clive P. over to broker a peace deal.

What else is new ?

China has never involved in any military conflicts in the passed 30 years while Australia followed US into a few wars.

Haha typical abc bs. Surely taxpayer funding should be cut

IBC urges preparedness for massive propaganda campaign.......

Every country is preparedness for military combat amid any situation, that's why you can defence force.

China is flexing 😂

Hey ABC news, this is shit. Australians deserve better.

Hurry up Winnie the Flu, takeover Taiwan. Hurry up, US can't wait to destroy you and hopefully, Hong Kong will be liberated as well.

Half the mental issues in world will be solved if newspapers chose their words wisely and not create panic in an already stressful situation.

Guck off abc

No not happening

That's a shocking headline for a paragraph

Nothing like a nuclear war to really bookend the apocalyptic bushfires and pandemic. Trump, Xi, Putin and friends, can all get in the bin.

This CCP narcissistic communist picking a fight with the world watch this space its going to bite them on the ass

'Cause who didnt see that one coming?🙄🤦‍♀️

A virus started in China so let's blame them that the US choses to let it run rampant and kill as many people as possible.

Never mind the military, China has already weaponized trade. The world must begin to disentangle itself economically from China.

DO NOT CONFUSE HEADLINE WITH CONTENT. IT IS ABOUT HOW THE MILITARY FORCE CAN TRAIN DURING THE PANDEMIC. ABC DRAMATISING TO MAKE A STORY.

Please everyone read the VERY short article with almost zero substance in it, regardless of opinions. Nothing to see here today any more than yesterday.

I got a bad feelin' about China. Hong Kong is just the beginning.

should explore new ways of training amid the pandemic. - is what he said... ABC aka really going down the 🚽

Oh geez, here we go...

Meanwhile the WHO advised world today that it's tooooo early to open up. Why? Xi told his puppet to keep countries shut so he can get better prepared for his chemical attack on all us sitting ducks. Watch the gas masks sell out at Bunnings tomorrow.

When will the new Chinese military base be built in Victoria? All part of preparation.

Oh shit 😳

Screw China. I dont believe anything media says. Over the years of watching all of them you can kinda sort out the lies and who is the best at it.

Yes. Okay. Thanks.

Many countries are suing China, so china can fight them all?

A war with China will destroy the world economy for decades.

Fitzgibbon unapologetic over China comments | Sky News AustraliaShadow Agriculture Minister Joel Fitzgibbon has defended accusing the government of “demonising China” amid calls for him to be sacked from the Labor frontbench. \n\nThe government had called on Anthony Albanese to sack the Labor frontbencher for his critical commentary and accusing Mr Fitzgibbon of undermining Australia’s sovereignty. \n\nBut speaking to Sky News, Mr Fitzgibbon did not shy away from repeating the rhetoric, saying Scott Morrison unnecessarily damaged Australia’s relationship with China by pursuing the COVID-19 inquiry unilaterally. \n\n“It was just unnecessary for our Prime Minister to run out ahead of everyone else and use such intemperate language,” he said. \n\n“If you’re going to have an inquiry anyway, and we were always going to do just that, why use such intemperate language against your largest trading partner?\n\n“You know why he did that … because he was chasing domestic votes.” \n This crisis has really shown us the true colours of many a politician but unfortunately people have short memories reported a few years back, didn't this guy and his father take Chinese sponsored travel to China several times? another Australian politician in too deep. AlboMP JEChalmers auspol Govt calls for sacking are a bit rich when they've kept on Squizzy Taylor, $60 Billion Josh and Stu Robodebt.

Victoria went 'behind Commonwealth's back' on China | Sky News AustraliaThe Andrews Government’s decision to go “behind the Commonwealth’s back” and sign an infrastructure deal with China will be viewed “dimly” by the public, Liberal backbencher Tim Wilson says. \n\nVictoria has gone it alone on signing up for China’s trillion-dollar Belt and Road infrastructure scheme, a decision which has been panned by the federal Coalition. \n\nPremier Daniel Andrews said the memorandum of understanding, signed in 2018, was about promoting job growth in the state. \n\nBut Liberal MP Tim Wilson told Sky News “if this was about jobs … the deal should have gone through the proper process with the Commonwealth”. \n\n“Well if it was all about jobs then he would have had no problem going through each step with the Commonwealth government,” he said. \n\n“The Commonwealth has responsibility for relationships with other countries and when you come to a state government going behind effectively the Commonwealth’s back to go and do deals with … the Chinese communist party, the public takes a pretty dim view.\n\n'Now they’re trying to say its all about jobs I think is a distraction frankly from the questionable deal that they’ve done behind the Commonwealth’s back.”\n\nImage: Getty SkyNews racism and fake China conspiracies, following rampant Ruperts blue pilled agenda. Any deal that creates jobs and boost fast track development will be viewed brightly by the public. Only politicians who got their seats by selling hatred view those deals dimly. LoL 'Viewed dimly' is a polite way to put it. 'The public' would also like to know how a State is entering an agreement with a foreign power.
