Communist 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.
Mr 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. "That leaking to their own advantage of a private conversation demonstrates they're not interested in returning to the status quo". He said the Chinese communist government "want to bend Australia to its will".
Good.
All empires fall.
China doesn’t have to bend Australia to it’s will. It’s playing a waiting game as seen in Hong Kong, Taiwan and South China Sea. If it takes 20 years or 50 years they will keep extending their influence while out waiting every other country.
CHINA 🇨🇳 NEEDS TO GET BACK IN YOUR BOX COME OUT WHEN AUSTRALIA CALLS YOU
Haha that's why he is now former minister
Send ambassador to Lambing Flats. We won’t be dictated to or have our country controlled by China. China be ware.
Message for the Evil Communist china dictatorship from ALL Australians
After this wuhan virus mess, there can not be a return to the status quo! The CCP deliberately used the global airline transport system (which they are invested heavily in) to infect the rest of the world with COVID. No foreign nationals can be allowed to enter Aus unless tested!
Piss the off ! No more ore, cooking coal ,gold, silver, lithium, food, milk powder lets see who has the balls ! CMON AUSSIE give them shit !!!!!!
Honestly, the time is now to boycott Chinese goods regardless of the pain. Covid19 was a bad cold compared to what will come out of that god forsaken place within 5 years. Fuck them.
China is going to surpass the US in a few years. Already has surpassed them in GDP (PPP). And they're looking to 2050. Meanwhile Trump and the Australian muppets who read Sky News are drinking disinfectant and yearning for 1950. Keep up boys.
BeeSting Stephen. WHO? Why would we be interested in any comment? From the Labor minister that gave us an unfunded NBN just a cluster the whole proposal. another Labor thought bubble unfunded just like the NDIS. never stops with Labor just bubbles no proper business cases.
I'm guessing this is the definition of all your eggs in one basket?
lol
Enemy of humanity and cruel China which has spreaded deadly disease like COVID 19 should be boycotted by countries which have affected severely in this disease.
He has been dead for a long time. Thank you
It's just what he said, and the evidence of how you 'Licking US' media makes up news. What, afraid of Aussie know you are lying?

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.
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?
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

But we all know the virus was man-made and if found to be true it would have devasting consequences to the US-China trade agreement.

China 'owes the world' an independent investigation into COVID-19's origins | Sky News AustraliaTrade Minister Simon Birmingham says the government has made its “displeasure known” to China after its ambassador warned Australia could face an economic hit if it does not back down from calling for an investigation into the nation’s handling of the coronavirus.\n\nAmbassador Cheng Jingye on Monday said Australia’s advocacy for a global, independent investigation into COVID-19’s origins was “dangerous” and could encourage Chinese citizens to not purchase Australian exports or travel to the nation.\n\nCondemnation of Mr Jingye’s comments were swift: Foreign Minister Marise Payne accused China of “economic coercion” while Labor senator Kimberley Kitching told Sky News the statement was tantamount to a “threat”.\n\nMr Birmingham told Sky News the head of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Frances Adamson, called the ambassador to discuss his “surprising and unfortunate' comments.\n\nHe said China will remain Australia’s largest trading partner, but the the government will not back down from calling for an independent inquiry into the origins of COVID-19.\n\n“When it comes to COVID-19 we need to be honest in terms of the impact, not just in Australia but around the world,” Mr Birmingham said.\n\n“Hundreds of thousands of people have died, hundreds of millions have probably lost their jobs, billions of people have suffered disruption to their lives.'\n\n“It’s not asking much for their to be a transparent investigation to ensure the world learns from this so we are better placed to prevent the impacts of such pandemics in the future.”\n\nThe origins of COVID-19 is not known, however the World Health Organisation speculated it originated from a live-animal wet market in the trade city of Wuhan, China.\n\nThe novel coronavirus has infected over three million people worldwide, killing over 211,000 people in just over four months.\n Birmo Less KronyKrapitalizm is good for MotherNature and the world nickbarnesaus Disillu31110791 FAustralians ozcrimenews 🐷🐷🐷👹😤🤮🦠🐒👇 Birmo I think that's called bullyi behavior.
