If China has nothing to hide it, it would welcome an independent inquiry into the origins of the COVID-19 crisis, according to markgkenny

If China has nothing to hide it, it would welcome an independent inquiry into the origins of the COVID-19 crisis, according to ANU professor Mark Kenny. Relations between Australia and China have soured since the Coalition suggested the world launches an independent, global investigation into the origins of the virus.

The US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has backed Australia's call for an international inquiry and accused China of lax biosecurity standards. "There is a significant amount of evidence that this came from that laboratory in Wuhan," Mr Pompeo told American television network ABC. China has disputed this and indicated the disease may have originated from a live animal wet market in the Chinese city of Wuhan.

markgkenny Where is the evidence, hard proof on paper of these allegations that China is to be blamed plus are there other countries involved?

markgkenny ridiculous. what country would want to be over-run with investigtators from multiple countries who 1. may introduce further infection, and 2, may have nefarious intent. Trump instigated this and he is a moron. which leads me to believe the same of those who endorse his crap.

markgkenny Why oh why are we still banging on about this? The CCP WILL NEVER tell the truth!!

LyleShelton markgkenny Ha ha, like any of the governments calling for this would agree to something similar against themselves.

LyleShelton markgkenny Hahahaha yet the coalition doesn't support an independent corruption watchdog, isn't that the pot calling the kettle black auspol

markgkenny Calm down boomers Sky is 💩

markgkenny CCP is waiting, check the news in France. The first confirmed case of death is in Dec now and the virus is originated from the existing strain in France.

markgkenny Alas ..they do.

markgkenny YES,Yes,YES

markgkenny ProfKarolSikora A French Doctor has claimed that the virus was in France in December,a month before the first confirmed case. Dr Cohen tested old blood samples for patients with respiratory symptoms & found a positive result. This is worth investigating - it could be significant

markgkenny If US had nothing to hide, CDC should release the misdiagnosed flu data for the past 9 months.

HHepplewhite markgkenny

markgkenny what about USA?

HHepplewhite markgkenny Bollocks springs to mind. But they will have cleaned the mess up in the laboratory by now.

markgkenny We'd welcome an 'independent inquiry' into our hapless, lying, putrid RW media as exemplified by skyisshit.

markgkenny If Michaelia had nothing to hide. If Angus had nothing to hide. If Scummo and Bridget had nothing to hide. If Susan had nothing to hide. If Stuart had nothing to hide. If Barney had nothing to hide.

markgkenny Who makes up the Independent enquirer's?

markgkenny What geniuses the Chinese regime are.

markgkenny I’m sure they’ll be as welcoming of the UN as Saddam was

HHepplewhite markgkenny China is and has done nothing but lie about Covid-19 since the start. Nobody in their right mind would trust a word that comes from that vile totalitarian regime.

HHepplewhite markgkenny Who would be independent in testing China?

markgkenny Yes true... And by that logic, if the government had nothing to hide they'd set up an ICAC! Good idea!

markgkenny That’s obvious , nothing to hide No worries with transparency. BUT They trying to sweep covid under the carpet at all costs 🤔 That’s why the world is questioning.

markgkenny I think they are on their own agenda about their made in China 🇨🇳 China Virus 🦠

markgkenny Make it universal. Put it into the United Nations. Then start with independent investigation into H1N1 originated in US. Australia should not be a lackey of US. Be independent stand on your own two feets !

markgkenny If Angus Taylor had nothing to hide he'd welcome an inquiry into doctoring those documents. If Australia had nothing to hide it would admit it bugged the Timorese embassy rather than destorying the lives of those people with integrity enough to object. Your point is?

markgkenny Why? China has no duty to serve western countries.

markgkenny You can only dream so

markgkenny Can the Chinese come here & investigate our failures that have not been resolved ?

markgkenny Do we know why US was funding and staffing Wuhan lab? Do we know why the US have 100s on biological labs globally? Do we know why the US conveniently pulled both in July 2019? How is American Dr Lieber, and staff arrested in January 2020?

markgkenny They don’t trust anyone as they think everyone is out to fuck them so they do it first, also saving face is a massive thing to them. They won’t risk losing it

markgkenny maybe it doesn't want to used as a gun to point to other country especially that country is still in outbreak.

markgkenny Nothing to hide 😆 oh stop it

markgkenny Why bother with an expensive investigation when Australia knows the answer already. Either guilty or else China has bought off the investigation team.

markgkenny And if our Government has nothing to hide it would also welcome an Inquiry into the Ruby Princess stuff up

markgkenny Of course they tried to hide this, it's why they keep threatening Australia not to probe!

markgkenny You still have not understood the origin of this rejection so far. It is cos China does not trust that Australia is a fair investigator because Australia is the best friend of US, it is still the war between China and USA, AU should be avoid and not be involved in the battle.

markgkenny If the LNP have Nothing to hide they would Welcome an ICAC inquiry

markgkenny The China narrative is getting old really quick. There is no us and them... they are the same. wakeup

markgkenny If Australia has nothing to hide, then we would have an independent inquiry into the Ruby Princess.... There’s no transparency in our democracy and you expect it from a dictatorship...

markgkenny As always, markgkenny is always incisive, original and on point after the event auspol

markgkenny By the time we actually get in there, there's just going to be a spotless, whitewashed room, with a guy reading a newspaper, acting surprised. It's complete BS that the capitalists have invested so much in China that everything, literally everything can burn for their money.

markgkenny Like anyone can take OUR or the US Govt seriously regarding transparency and ethics. Hilarious double standards.

markgkenny PLEASE BE AWARE. CCP Propaganda! we ABSOLUTELY cannot trust the Chinese anymore, couldn't before we allowed them into our country now worst. Listen to the warnings if brave, Anastasia Lin.

markgkenny They knew for 7 weeks and said nothing and when they did they played it down. Within that time frame they went to Davos, the Whitehouse, sucked up PPE all round the world and allowed for international flights to leave Wuhan.

markgkenny They have a lot to hide. It was accidentally leaked from their lab after it was engineered. That’s just the tip of the iceberg. Wait until it gets out what they’re planning. October is going to be brutal.

markgkenny

markgkenny Well that excludes the US and Australian governments for starters. Both are rabidly anti-China.

markgkenny If those guards worn Storm Trooper suits they’d look more authoritative. The gogglesand masks give one the impression they’re scared of something

markgkenny Joke. China knows what happened to Iraq before. Trump should try to save American lives first rather than distracting people to China. Scomo is so stupid to follow his 'hoax'.

markgkenny I don’t think we want any investigators disappear, found dead or in prison labour camps so we need to cut our loses

markgkenny It doesn’t need to be independent. China is a member of the UN security council and it would be obliged to answer questions if they investigated. This is a biological weapon and they should have restricted flights. imho they will need to answer questions.

markgkenny Lots of skeletons in lots of closets would be my guess, as to why they don’t want an independent enquire.

The world needs 'cool heads, not a cold war' with China | Sky News AustraliaAs China is Australia’s largest trading partner and a close ally, the government should “take a moment of pause before poking the panda” according to Assistant Editor of the West Australian Jenna Clarke.\n\nWestern Australia in 2019 exported $95 billion worth of goods to China, while the country’s resources sector is heavily reliant upon the Chinese market.\n\nHowever, in recent weeks economic and diplomatic tensions between the two nations has reached fever-pitch after Australia called for an international investigation into the origins of the coronavirus, and China’s ambassador responded by threatening a consumer boycott of Australian exports.\n\n“When China sneezes, the world catches a cold”.\n\n“As we mop up this health emergency, we need cool heads not a cold war,” she said.\n\nMs Clarke said the health crisis has forced Australia to consider “widening our economic basket instead of putting most of our eggs into China”.\n\n“We should take a lead out of the mining and resources book in order to pursue new ideas and new markets like India and Indonesia”.\n\nImage: AP jennamclarke China is NOT & NEVER will be Australia's ally. jennamclarke Australia’s sovereignty is far more important than Chinese money. jennamclarke ‘Close ally’?
