At least 100 Chinese international students have "escaped" from Melbourne to Sydney ahead of the Victoria–NSW border closure, due to fears of being "stranded" and unable to catch flights home to China, according to travel agencies from the Chinese community.
She had been forced to study remotely due to physical distancing measures and decided to return to China after hearing about the border closure. "Those immediate restrictions gave rise to hardships on us again and again, which could reflect the Government's lack of compassion."Ms Li had originally booked a flight from Melbourne to Guangzhou in southern China via Sydney in mid-July, which she had to give up in order to "escape" to Sydney quickly in order to board a return flight there to China.
Well all I can say is don’t let the door hit you on the way out👉👉👉
Try doing anything at any Uni and you will spend half your time teaching international students because of the lack of English skills. Unis have become too reliant on international bought degrees.
this is not news
Meh, it seems more like frustration on the student's part to me. 'Naive kid says something silly' is an alternative headline, but not as many clicks I s'pose.
Aus is still wearing this Cold War head with the other 4 'Eyes'. What a waste of time, money, opportunity n efforts! China is not going to paint the world Red! A lot of people, including media, are misled. This 'Human Rights' card has been used effectively but detrimentally!
Don't call us we'll call you, bye! You get a better education here than home, still not happy. People need to read history more, China for centuries has always been a double standard, double crossing nation. It was, still is done with blandness, obey or disappear!
Poland was asked by its government about immigration which the population rejected. The government increased childcare for its people to increase its population. Good move. Why do we need Hong Kongers here. It was Britain’s treaty not ours.
Title is a little bit misleading and inflammatory considering how much hate has already been directed to Chinese people as of late
Are they not lucky they got to experience living in a country that they can complain about and allows them the freedom to express their opinion. Now please go back and do the same in your country.
Suit yourself buddy, all the best in China
And this is the difference between China and Australia. He has the right to say and do whatever he wants in Australia. Fairly certain unless he is wealthy in China or Hong Kong he doesn’t have those same freedoms.
dont come back 🤣🤣🤣
Replace 'Students' with 'Spies'.
I dunno man.....a million odd Uighurs might disagree....tibetans....deli lama.... maybe stay in china if you think the ccp is a better government.
Bye. Don't bother coming back
And please, never come back to our beautiful country. I don't want you here anyways.
What a joke lol.. good luck under iron fist dictatorship.
Free speech right? US GOV is the best.
Well ta ta parents misinformed, visas that can be renewed and if they think the Chinese govt is an improvement it is that govt spreading the misinformation Instead of money for almost impossible flights why don't their parents support them here so they can sit it out in safety
When government stop your money. You will realize this is ture
What a joke - a Chinese student saying that Australia has a “terrible government”! Pleased to hear that they are happy about their (Chinese) government.
Great news
A welcome development👍🏻
Border closure is a nonsensical policy.
Wakeup call - stop trading and trusting China.
They are telling out their real feelings......
This is why I won't leave my state. Who knows what the government will do next? I get it. Need to keep the numbers down but what about the economy? The numbers just don't add up I feel 🤷♀️
Ha ha ... and if this story had come out of the Murdoch Press, Paul Barry would spend half of Monday night bleating about 'dog whistling'
I agree, we do have a bad government, but 👋🏻👋🏻, be sure to pass on my regards to your tyrant, Oligarch Ping!
Put them on the 1st flight out
Let he go.......don’t return
Bye bye
The thing with this speech, in Australia we’ re allowed to say it about our govt...plspay back the student benefits you got from us taxpayers....
Let us know when we can buy property, study, say this about your own government? 🤪 or google freely in China, then we’ll compare thanks
FAKE news ABC
You may be right but yours is a shit load worse.. Bye bye! Ta. Ta. Ciao! Catchya! Later! Bob Voyage.
The fact that he CAN say that, and not “disappear” means it’s a shitload better than where he’s going.
The Chinese communist party has allowed a pandemic to destroy millions of people's lives around the world now and for the foreseeable future. How can they be viewed as better than democracies trying to handle the fallout. Chinese students should consider the cause of situation
Out of the pan and into the fire.
Never come back!
Goodbye
don’t come back
Good luck with that! China auspol
Don’t let the door hit your 🦇 on the way out!
Aren’t there enough wise people in the ABC to realise that such spreading of news is poisonous and degrading to Australia. These students are planted members of the communist party following orders.
I think “ Aussie Gov is terrible “ in this article said by those students refers the fact that Aussie gov don’t treat chinese gov and people well since the outbreak of covid.
The Federal government has turned their backs on foreign students.......heartless bastards.
And don’t come back
F/ck china
Chinese people aren't the problem. Everyone has to learn the difference between Chinese and Communist China there's a massive difference just go and ask Hong kong...oh wait. Okay yeah they're all commys now
F k china
'Australia government is bad'. Hold on, who tried to sweep an entire virus under the rug? 🤔
news just like those eye catching stuff to provoke hared. I'm Chinese in Sydney, I never heard any Chinese in Sydney complain government. Australia truely did very well
👋
See ya!
Go back to your home and enjoy the best welfare in world, as you said so.
Yes, we are terrible! So go home to your far better Marxist government!
See ya
Really ABC leftist bullshit or GT bait
Good riddance commies.
Fine don’t have anything to do with Australia just keep covering up the Wuhan virus
ABC fwits, can you explain the difference to these cvnts between Victorian govt and Federal govt. At any rate if they cant work that out they are dumb as and need to go home and apply to run their country
Good riddance.
fredamy65 ' as soon as it's inconvenient, or there's any diplomatic problem, you'll just sacrifice us.'' that's your government 🙄
Hope you don’t think a few brainless students now represent Chinese
goodbye.....
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. See you later. More room for Hong Kongers.
Strongly advise to cancel their visas
Any perspective Chinese students should read the comments here before deciding.
...get back to your beloved CommunistDictatorship CCPClowns!! ByeBye!!!
Great, they know the way out...
So - if you don’t like it, go back to China to study. Simple. Bye bye.
There are no flights out of the country to anywhere let alone China. Try swimming...
😂😂😂😂
Oh what? And their government is so good? They created this whole Covid-19 problem. I hope they all flee Australia not just Victoria!
Bye bye 👋🏼. Don’t let the door hit you on the arse on the way out. Traitors
See ya. Don't forget to write
Bye 🙋🏻♂️
The imperialist Chinese (those who want China to rule all), the racists and the cheaters can go home. Everyone else is welcome as always. StopChineseImperialism
Yes please go back home and stay there.
alot of racist comments under this news tweet. no wonder they are leaving.
was it via Dans 1belt 1 road or just the Hume?
Them and tens of thousands of Melburnians.......their had enough of Dan and his bullshit.
Great!!! F*** off!!!
Good luck with that.
In China they used to weld the doors of building so people would not get out in Wuhan, so this poor little mite is welcome to go back
What a crock.
So the abc has found a people smuggling operation out of Victoria VictoriaPolice ,AusFedPolice . Regards Bang Xiao and our abc
Gladys...
DanielAndrewsMP making Victoria SO Bad that the Chinese are desperately trying to get back to CHYNAWTF.
All those anti-China or anti-Chinese students comments just proved what a smart move these Chinese students have made. Stupid people have never been to China, yet they are making all these negative assumptions about China. What is it? Racism? Jealousy? Brain-washed by fake news?
Don’t let the door hit you on the arse on the way out .
Well why come here go back to China and stay there
Australia has a terrible Government . You must be joking. Compared to the Chinese Communist Party Government our Government are Saints . Go back to China you fool and stay there . We dont want you back here ever .
Don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out !
See ya 👋
ScottMorrisonMP How Ironic! Chinese are getting much better treatment in Australia than they can ever get in their homeland China! Perhaps Democracy is a strange concept for these idiots.
Look at the language being used by taxpayer funded TV Fleeing. Fuuuuuuuuuuuck off
She is obviously a very privileged child over there. Go back darling we won’t miss you.
Go, why are you on here? Aussies dont care if you flee back, I feel sorry for the Hongkongers yous are torturing...
Don’t like it then fuck off simple really
Really? Singapore airlines Sydney to Shanghai from $1,185!
Bye 👋
Hyena with a hat.
Oh that's a shame
We seem fine up until now oh shit sorry reading from a que card written by ita buttrose abc
See ya
Haha considering where you are from you get no sympathy
Brainwashed, clueless or both?
Good. Ahem, did i think that or Tweet that?
Another Chinese government plant. Or is it a Tweetbot.
Very sad. Travel safely. COVID-19 has exploded in Victoria
Good riddance
Am I reading this headline correctly? Chinese students are saying that our government is terrible? tata
Quite welcome to leave. You won't be coming back!
I would have thought Chinese students would feel right at home in Victoria?
Best go to USA.. Mr Trump will care for you etc etc etc
Just how seriously weak are these kids that they cannot tough it out for 6 weeks...🤔
Well thats a cash cow we are going to miss! Student accomodation is a nice little tax free income boost. Be quite a few pentioners in uni. districts missing out homing an international student for a little extra income and companionship
Notthenineoclo2 Bye don’t come back
they paid between $200 and $800 to travel agencies to ferry them to NSW in small groups by car who are the agencies organizing these
Panic is gooooooood.
Australian government ScottMorristonMP have a look at those comments, can you see racists? Please don't turn on a blind eye.
And infect everyone with your COVID on the way? Seriously selfish.
If she was Australian we would agree
Ha ! Boomerang
Victoria should feel just like home to commies
I suppose it all depends on what kind of terrible you prefer.
Please, return to China and you will be safer
International students have been asked to leave US if their course is totally online and US is not apologetic about it. This country is far more compassionate and we have no reason to apologise to these.
Sue Li says we have a terrible government because they locked the boarder and didn’t provide support to international students. First this statement is wrong. Secondly what her unelected government do for international studio China? Stupid idiot.
Well, if you don’t like our government, then get out .
She means the government in Victoria right!
Publicly denouncing our government probably ensures she can safely reenter China. I reckon you could end up in prison if you have a pro Australia attitude these days 😬
What!?
All this after lefty local Universities tipped in $$$ to help these poor suffering students make it back to Oz in March. 🤔 RefundPlease
Good. POQ and DCB
Very accurate article.
Aaah the Chinese....🤦♀️
bill_dobell How 'think tanks' translates in Australia - TheIPA How 'think tanks' translates in China 👇
Go home and don’t hurry back and tell all your friends and family how terrible we are 👍👍👍👍
So Funny.
Good riddance
Aussies trigger so easy!!
Sad, if their country had responded more opening and rapidly, the rest of the planet may not be in this position.
Fvck off then
Is this just a number of .CN students venting their spleen in this article, or has this been a general concern among foreign students? I think this article should have tried to give a bigger picture. But granted, it's catchier with Chinese nationals criticizing a 'terrible gov'.
Go away.
Not only is Uni sector without usual overseas students. Govt ensuring they wont come back. Is that intentional?
Then go back to your communist country.
What the chinese meant was: Victoria has a vely bad government
See ya. You won't be missed.
Go away! No tourists allowed at the moment. Our dumb government didn’t intervene again. Dammed if they do or don’t. These Chinese are Selfish , thoughtless, reckless.
Bye 👋
At heart he’s complaining about the same thing Australians affected by the border closure are complaining about, no? He’s obviously an entitled kid. You don’t have to read the comments section to know the content.
Ms Li complaining that there was a lack of support from the Government but can afford a chartered car from Melbourne to Sydney.
500 ignorant, racist comments on here, what a surprise. Aussie Aussie Aussie 🤮
Chinese fuckers! Put them in a container and ship them to Wuhan virus lab!
bill_dobell Comrade Dan is following CCP's example.
WTF!!! Why are they even here?
See ya all
That’s a nice top.
What a surprise that’s the quote ABC decided to go with. Such a terrible government, that also funds the ABC. Talk about biting the hand. DefundTheABC
If you don't like it here.....
Our third largest export folks. We're pissing it down the drain.
That one comment made by one young person used for click bate sure triggered many
'Australia has a terrible government'
I wonder what would happen to an Australian student in China if they criticised the Chinese government?
At least our government hasn't unleashed successive pandemics onto the world through poor checks and balances that a totalitarian government ensures. There is also still a good chance they MADE this virus more transmittable in their lab.
Bloody chinese spies
Piss off
Australia has terrible government? At least our government didnt cause millions of people to get sick by leaking a virus... I doubt your shitty CCP government will last 12 months,...
I don't think many Australians realise how much our education is being subsidised by international students. Without the much higher fees that they pay, our universities would probably be a couple of giant sheds in a paddock with a projector.
People replied to the story without reading it 😖 Terrible repliers
I don’t disagree Australia does have a terrible government
Don’t return. Pls stay in China. Will make life better for rest of the world.
Go home then
'Australia has a terrible government'
It’s true, China has the best system in the world 🤡🤡🤡
I think the 'ABC' has forgotten, its not a 'tabloid' - or is this the new direction under 'ita buttrose'? just report the news without the click-bait titles ffs
Bye.........! And by the way, that top you’re wearing is hideous. But I suppose your country isn’t really famous for its fashion. Just coronavirus. Please don’t come back. Hello please.
ChinaLiedPeopleDied
Well then go home and don't come back. Easy!
Foot soldiers you mean
Bye bye.
It’s the ABC. Might not be true
Don't slam the door on ya way out Wongy.
Did they snatch a few baby formulas🍼🍼🍼 on their way home as well?
Funding universities through ripping off overseas students is a dumb idea. Send them all home and fund unis properly, stop handing out degrees so easily.
We need to stop them leaving now. If all the Chinese leave Australia, who will we hate then? Thank god for refugees.
Goodbye
Good, take the rest with you and don't come back
*He says over the handling of the pandemic his government created.*
And don’t come back!
[from my sources]Even those Chinese from PRC working here have been questioned by parents in China about their safety here. So powerful is the propaganda machine. Welcome to ideological warfare. StephenMcDonell
Australia has a bad Govt. lol China has the new Hitler in charge of her Govt. I dare her to go home and say that about her own Govt. She won't be seen again.
Ccp will treat them like traitors.
So many things wrong here
They're not wrong though? We do have a terrible govt! 🤣
Just like the chinese people who fled wuhan to avoid being trapped in lock down and spread the virus all over the world.
They are correct but so does the rest incl china. No one country admin is of good nature. They are all self serving corrupt sick individuals sold to their slave masters.
Must be such a horrible set of circumstances for these students just trying to pursue an education. A reminder to all before you comment; (1) read the article, and (2) show some compassion for a fellow human.
I don't feel sorry for the university's they deserve to go broke
As much as I feel for them being stranded govt much take any measures necessary to protect people. Their govt has done the same.
This is government responsibility. LNP are useless at diplomatic relations and have created this mess as they’re too stingy to properly fund universities, but are happy to take the thousands of dollars off these students then spit them out and leave them stranded. racism
'Terrible government' ..... ok. Don't let the door hit you on the way out. Bye.
Ummmm, ok, so?
these ppl who were in Melbourne went on cross country trips to Sydney no doubt stopping to get petrol a few times - what if they have COVID-19? Selfish much!
Bye bye
