China snubs Hastie and Paterson, denies entry to their study tour

issued a pointed rebuke to Beijing over the response to pro-democracy activists in Hong Kong after the use of live rounds against some protesters.

Mr Hastie and Senator Paterson said in a joint written statement they ‘‘had looked forward to learning from the Chinese people about their culture, history and perspective during this visit’’.‘‘We are particularly disappointed that the apparent reason why we are not welcome in China at this time is our frankness about the Chinese Communist Party.

The move shocked federal ministers yesterday after China Matters relayed the decision of Chinese diplomats in Australia earlier in the day.Prime Minister Scott Morrison and Chinese Premier Li Keqiang Liberal MP Dave Sharma, a former Australian ambassador to Israel, said the decision was "beyond disappointing" because the bilateral relationship needed mutual respect.

Kowtow kowtow kowtow - that’s all the Chinese have ever wanted

So a foreign country doesn’t want people going there who put shit on the place before they go? Thank go China isn’t politically correct I’d like to see Australia do the same. Of shit, we did, we also block people coming we don’t agree with like the IRA and ISIS

Wear it like a badge fellas

It’s a shame. If Hastie had gone to China we could have blocked him from returning.....

What could they “learn” from a study tour that they can’t learn from Dr Google?

And we allow China to by our assets on the cheap.

GarthGodsman Yet we keep selling off our country to China!

Before or after the Bellamy’s sale to China?....justasking

Up to China who they let in, just as it is for Australia, who by the way unfairly blocked davidicke from entering Australia because the Government was overly sensitive to his views.

Rory_Medcalf Now they learn that CCP is the most evil political entity on earth. It is even worse than Nazi Germany.

Shut up Australians and be quiet! The LiberalAus mantra is simply being followed by the Chinese.

Almost as sensitive to criticism as LNP-laws to ban climate change protests for example.

It's China's cultural arrogance in my opinion. How do you sway public perception in such a controlled environment?

I can understand Hastie being denied, I suspect it’s because he’s a former member of the SASR.

They dont like being called out simple really

Who cares about being knocked back - why are we paying for two stupid ministers to go a study tour more like a ‘ holiday ‘

Proved Geofascist vassals assisting cia/NED Hong Kong Coup Calling the Chinese govt Nazis is mild is it you Mockingbird

What do they want to learn from China? How 2 suppress the citizens, how 2 destroy the environment with mining, how 2 embark on a military campaign in the local seas 2 seize power & subjugate the neighbouring countries. All this at the tax payer expense? Money saved! Thanks China.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

China is China...Australia is..enter here..buy anything you want..we give you discount..no problem!

China denies entry to Murdoch’s media empire so I’m not surprised they have denied entry to these 2. Unlike us they aren’t stupid.

Were they going to China to confirm their beliefs or to learn something they didn’t know?

You spelt ‘study Tour’ wrong

Now, when will Australia do the same (& block them)

They both failed a integrity test

China bad Aus Good

China has done the right thing

I wouldn’t have either of them over for lunch.

Two people in China infected with plague, the disease tied to Black DeathThe patients were quickly isolated and health officials investigated everyone who could have been exposed to them, authorities said. China had an outbreak last century. That’s when they worked out it was yersinia pestis during the Black Death. It’s no biggie. Easily treated with antibiotics. The real news is the Ebola outbreak in the Congo. The 2nd biggest ever.... Maybe the Communist party should worry more about its populations health than trying to control their freedom.
