over national security concerns a major point of friction.Foreign Minister Marise Payne called for a global inquiry into China's handling of the outbreakMs Payne told the ABC's Insiders program that China must allow transparency in the process, but refused to be drawn on whether she trusted China over its handling of the pandemic.
to build a coalition to give the WHO — or another body — powers equivalent to those of a weapons inspector to avoid another catastrophic pandemic.Chinese public may boycott Australian products if Australia continued its push for an independent inquiryThe Federal Government dug its heels in, with Trade Minister Simon Birmingham labelling the remarks "economic coercion".
Federal Government sources suggested the investigation could be used as a cover to impose the tariffs in retaliation against Australia's push for the COVID-19 inquiry.High-ranking calls to China went unanswered as the Federal Trade Minister sought to speak to his Chinese counterpart.
But while some Coalition MPs lauded the motion as vindication for Australia, Beijing's embassy in Canberra issued a statement"To claim the WHA's resolution a vindication of Australia's call is nothing but a joke," the statement said.
No matter what truth is, the fact is Australia gets trouble. The consequnces will impact Australian sooner or later. Don't fight with your pockets: No money, no Australian 'value'. This is very simple rule, world rule. THIS IS THE TRUTH, poor OZs!
China's beef with us is that we do not appear to have a foreign policy of our own. We act as an extension of US and our policies mirror that of the US. Australia need to grow up from this Cold War mentality and start acting as an independent nation. Our future is in Asia, not US
Its not personal, its only ever been business! Aussies need to learn to play the long-game. This short-sighted Oz election cycle entwined with the US presidential cycle never provides enough stability to compete with China. Get a grip!!!
because our media keeps making chinese related matters the headlines....stirring the pot so have more to write on...come on how about more world peace please our media folks...
May such country devotees, God do not get any country The people of Australia have come to the streets on the death of a black person but China has destroyed Australia but not a single Australian people has come on the road against China
1/2 Economic medicine for political diseases. Australia followed the United States and did a lot to hurt China, greatly breaking through China's bottom line. An observed indicator is that the Chinese ambassador to Australia directly sings a red face.
Yayyyyyyy!!! BoycottChineseProducts BoycottChina
Incompetent leadership in Foreign Policy.
China made a virus and released it into the world. Australia demanded China be investigated for said virus. China threw a tantrum & tried to bully Australia for speaking up. Australia didn’t listen, Australia won.
Why the fuck we need chinese. It’s about time our bloody Australians find clean $$ the hard wayabcnews
Strangely they aren't talking about cancelling the iron ore/lpg/coal contracts.
Hay they started it
blame Bill Shorten, smoko will
Chinese criminals recruited into Australian police while Australian citizens suffer. Signals Directorate knew.
“ In April, Foreign Minister Marise Payne called for a global inquiry into China's handling of the outbreak, independent of the World Health Organisation.” Why independent of WHO? The inquiry is truly inquiry?
Australia become to soft and too weak
China is confused about where its jurisdiction ends.
We should have a good relationship with China ! What did Morrison gov: 1/ punched China by “ independent invest the covid 19, 2/ against hongkong new national security law 3/against China by foeigon investment policy. Our gov did everything they can did to hurt our economic
The major issue of China Mainland is the Chinese Communist Party, which is the deadliest virus for human beings. Therefore, it must be wiped out. May the force be with All freedom-loving people! Fighting for freedom against the oppressive Chinese Communist Party dictatorship!
Simple answer: 60%of Australian media are under control of US. Americans control the federal, remember turnbull, he is not a friend of Murdoch. 10years 6 PM, why? Have a stable government benefits the long term project. See how many screwup in the past
MaasdorpJR brettcarter62 Both Chinese coal and oil production have peaked. That's why the CCP has become nervous. coronavirus dampens demand. By design?
Let's put aside how AU‘ve played the role as a USA lapdog for decades. Just take a look how many times AU has initiated anti-dumping actions against China, but China only started once against Australia on barely last year.
WHY Here is one of evidences as example. Racial attacked on 30/04/2020 in Melbourne toward directly to a resident with Chinese heritage.
So we forget how Chinese hackers broke into our parliamentary computer servers?
it just because Aussie prefer following the States not China. TBH same shit.
It's a trade war between America and China, we just caught in the middle.
Because so many people can't knock off their shit. Including the Liberal Government, we will all feel the pressure of the losses on the economic front.
All the comments tell me how racist attacks on Chinese in Australia!
They're a little child who lost its toys.
'Increasingly tetchy' is an interesting turn of phrase for the time when the PrimeMinister destroyed our Exports, Tourism, and Education sectors with his stupidass big mouth. scummo is dummo.
it becomes toxic because Oz has got the gall to point pointy fingers on China They prefer quiet diplomacy not loudspeaker
Rhetorical I’m sure but here’s a couple of points. They don’t need our coal as much for obvious reasons, they don’t need as much iron ore for building in a recession and their students don’t want to come here anymore. And we are racist. For starters
AU can give up 14 billion population market anytime. Anyway EU and US are not gonna do that. Every step US made is to force China to open more.
Australia has stood up to a bully and we have been supported. Bullies don't like that.
yep as soon as you hitch up to the biggest Moron in US politcal history...Its gonna go bad
Also see: USA trade deal Phase One
gosh can we have the adults back in charge . this mob are disastrous at diplomacy
Step 1: China unleashes deadly pandemic on world.
NO MORE CHINESE
DearChina We're ok... but you can take our politicians away if you like...
It isn't only Australia - the ABC needs to get up to speed with how China is threatening lots of other countries who object to the way they're treating Hong Kong & what they're doing elsewhere in the world.
If you choose to dance with a wolf, better prepare yourself to be bitten sooner or later. CCP China, a wolf? No, a SNAKE
The CCP are bullies and Australians hate bullies
Because Morrison's government MP's Race Bait all the Time.
The Libs have sold half the country to China, have had ministers busted taking bribes from China, but they talk big in the media if they think there's votes in it, or if Trump tells them to. Meanwhile, millions of Chinese Muslims are imprisoned in concentration camps... Crickets.
Why are we building a communist, totalitarian inhumane regime? Why are we not investing that money into Australian manufacturing so that all those people who wish to flee places like Hong Kong, S. Africa etc can have jobs when they make our HOME, Australia, their HOME.
Simple: China's CCP lies and we call them out on it. Dictatorships do not like being held to account.
The sooner the Chinese CPC is gone the better for the Chinese people & the world, sadly the CPC is a leftover from 20th century thinking, sad 😢.
Sure FakeNews
That's what happens when lapdogs bark!
You mean the liberal leadership and China
