China's ambassador to Australia has labelled the government's ban on Huawei's involvement in the rollout of next-generation 5G networks discriminatory and politically motivated | fergushunter

Chinese ambassador Cheng Jingye:"It is discrimination against a Chinese company."On Monday, Mr Cheng said Australia's ban was "politically motivated" amid a global campaign against Huawei, led by the United States.

"It is discrimination against a Chinese company. At the same time, it doesn't serve the best interests of Australian companies and consumers," he told Sky News. "And it has become a sore point, or thorny issue, in bilateral issues as it damages mutual trust between the two sides."Hitting out at the "smear campaign" against Huawei and pressure on US allies, Mr Cheng praised Britain's approach.

"Despite external pressure, I think the UK has come up with a decision which will not exclude Huawei from participating at least in some parts of the 5G technology development, which I think is a sensible decision," he said.

EXCLUSIVE: Chinese Ambassador calls for end to 'harsh' coronavirus travel ban | Sky News AustraliaChina’s ambassador to Australia Cheng Jingye has called on Australia to remove “harsh” travel ban restrictions in the wake of the deadly coronavirus outbreak.\n\nIn an exclusive interview with Sky News Chief Anchor Kieran Gilbert, Mr Cheng said the travel ban “unnecessarily” interfered with trade and travel and said Australia should be “coolheaded and not panic”.\n\n“We are deeply disappointed by the restrictive measures that have been taken because as I see it they are out of proportion,' he said. \n\n“As you said it is inconsistent with the professional recommendations of the World Health Organisation. \n\n“We have expressed our strong wish and hope that the Australian government in its next review will take into account the whole situation and take a balanced approach and consider removing those harsh restrictions or at least relax restrictions.”\n\nMr Gilbert pointed out that China itself had taken extraordinary measures well beyond recommendations of the WHO by detaining millions of people in Wuhan and the broader Hubei province.\n\nMr Cheng responded saying the situation in China was “totally different” from that in Australia.\n\n“We need to take extra measures to stop the spread of the disease whereas here the situation is totally different,” he said. \n\n“Australia is only one of a few countries which has taken such sweeping and stringent restrictive measures on travel.\n\n“We hope the (Australian) government will take a balanced approach and remove harsh restrictions or at least relax them.”\n No you keep the virus 🦠 contained by keeping tight restrictions on travel — look at the death toll climbing in China daily The Cheng is a monster.
