In an exclusive interview with Sky News, Mr Howard said China has changed significantly since his tenure as prime minister. "Under President Xi Jinping’s two predecessors, Hu Jintao Jiang Zemin, China's attitude towards the west was very different," he said.
China recently slapped an 80 per cent tariff on barley producers, banned four beef exporters and urged its students not to study in Australia. Beijing has also been more assertive in the region, exemplified by its decision to make it illegal for anyone in Hong Kong to engage in secessionist, subversive, or "terrorist" activities.
Should that come as a surprise? China is a fascist state. Knowing what fascist states are capable of, why do we keep enabling China? China is a pariah state and it’s government should be sanctioned. Instead western governments bring money, businesses and technologies there.
who sold water rights to China MMMMM Mr Howard
Fake News
Eerr no shit Sherlock? Also that AUS is becoming authoritarian under UN rule
The best way to leave problems behind - is find another problem!! Enough Corporate trickery it lays in tatters all around us…! How about we face up to the problems that are here in front of us!! An itch isn’t itchy when your haemorrhaging at the throat auspol qanda insiders

Why do we keep hearing from a John Howard? He lost his seat years ago!
Sky News, how about actually engaging in journalism for the national good. This is an old has been fossil. And you had to bring him out. Amazing capability from you.
The little toad ( a war criminal) can drop dead
Australia is prosecuting a journalist for doing his job. But 'China'
Mad old prick shouts at ‘Asian hordes’.
Who knew?
Well that is starting the obvious
Relic or Artifact, I'm not sure
Mr. Howard: Thank god you’re here.
It's a recycling of 'Yellow Peril'. Come on fear mongers - where's your imagination.
Flak Jacket Johnny. Gave Australia the GST and helped send foreign-based thugs onto the wharves. What a turd.
No shit Sherlock
He’s a fucking genius isn’t he? How did he come to this conclusion? The takeover and police brutality in HK? The invasion of the South China Sea? The daily threats to Taiwan? The incursions in East Turkistan and Kazakhstan?
china really does have weapons of mass destruction - get your swastika on Jackboot - start a war with them
Xi Jinping v JohnHoward is a war criminal..Xi Jinping v PeterDutton_MP Is worse than china on human rights Xi Jinping questions cporterwa secret trials
I’m surprised he’s got time these days to comment on anything isn’t he way to busy defending alleged sexual abusers
Is SkyNews in the service of the US Military Industrial Complex by manufacturing consent for a US/Australian conflict with China or are you just useful idiots?
He would be speaking from personal experience when it comes to throwing his weight around. WarCrimes CoalitionOfTheLies
John Howard is irrelevant.
Piss off howard
Australia's only living fossil.
Won’t go down well with all the billionaire miners who sell their wares to China. Gina and Twiggy will be getting their knickers in a twist.

Go read a book.
Mr State the bloody obvious, back from the grave... What’s your suggestion oh wise one?
What hogwash. The China now is very economically and technologically competitive and the West and its accomplices are taking aggressive measures to try and unfairly slow her down. What do you think her response should be? How should she respond to bullies?
How many troops does China have stationed on foreign soil? Who’s the real aggressor here
Is Howard still alive?
No shit Sherlock!
Mr fucking obvious on the ball as usual auspol
Wish he’d fuck off once and for all.
Oh no john. Are they putting refugees in camps?
How many WMDs do these “enemies” have Johnny War Criminal?

Me Howard The country of Iraq continues to suffer because you were complicit in its destruction based on fabricated lies lies lies, stick that on your resume
Is that the same John Howard that told us about the Children Overboard?
Former PM Howard should never be consulted on anything. Particularly foreign affairs.

Anither Trump boot licker pandering to Trump.
Crawled out from under his rock to tell us the GST needs to be increased as well. Thanks for that enlightenment. Now go away....
China sends millions of ducks to Africa to help with the locust plague. What does John Howard do for anyone? What did his government do in Timor Leste? What has AusGov done in PNG in Nauru?
OOh..Man of Steel ...they've got WMD's..Howard the war mongering c*nt.
Howard was voted out of govt many years ago. He should STAY OUT OF GOVT.
Yawn 💤💤💤
Maybe War criminal Jack boot Johnny should just fade away.
He’s not wrong. The CCP are getting out of control.
Howard needs to explain why Pedophile files have been sealed for 90 years and no one was arrested😡😡😡😡
How very observant.
I think he means Australia is becoming more authoritarian
The luckiest PM in 30 years. It’s authoritarian totalitarian and nothing has changed. All the policy however that you put in place like population ponzi property speculation economics, sale of our sovereign must hurt when you look back
No shit. Any fool could have seen that 20 years ago that it was going this way.
Oh now you realise that you are in Asia Pacific region
Who wants to hear Howard's opinion... myopic in every way.
Leave China alone...
Just as people like ScottMorrisonMP & GladysB are using COVID-19 to hide evils and assume more authoritarian (totalitarian, actually) power.
And hes right. China will attack the US soon. World war 3. Its coming. Guaranteed.
No shit Sherlock.
True. China is'throw its weight around' i, is great for former Australia Prime Minister John Howard to acknowledging that, China is becoming more powerful, AND upcoming dominate force in the Asia-Pacific region. And it is important for Australia government be cordial with China.
John Howard is a bloody legend!
Don't try and bring them Democracy Howard. Remember the last time you tried that on a country?
Who gives a fuck what this pencil neck, lying weasel thinks. WMD AWB GST
And this is the guy that wanted to completely disarm Australia and turned us into a nation of victims
Deep state puppet
I may well be naive when it comes to these matters but am I to understand that we are at risk of an armed conflict with our largest trading partner? Does anyone truly believe that? What are we trying to protect?
John Howard just needs to shut up and stay at home and leave us out of his sabre-rattling, I'm-so-important garbage. JUST SHUT UP!
I dont care what john howard has to say about anything. He willingly sent australians to die and kill all based on what he knew was a lie.
That should be 'War criminal John Howard'
Wow John were you in China seems you know alot? Hence yr always under the skirt.
Tariffs on beef and barley so far….I guess this pathetic little war criminal will have most primary produce affected soon enough
Did he also mention the authoritarian behaviour of the US?
Does he want to suck Pell off as well ?
From the guy who took our guns and locked up a kid who couldn’t shoot straight, but head shot one after the other in intervals of seconds at Port Arthur, without a proper trial.
Those copycat Chinese, Dutton has introduced more security legislation than any other country in the last year while Morrison is building up our military and spying capacity, I think Xi is copying us.
You’re the one who said to disarm the population of Australia by the Australian gun buyback there are many Australians are probably wishing that they still had their guns that the government. Wrongfully that disarmed the population.
F off johnny!
The deals always precede the policy with the LNP. Even. In. A.Pandemic.
Why would you listen to this little Squirt!
We realised that several years ago. You are very slow on the uptake.
Says a war criminal who killed a half of million innocent people
He didn't mention the big headed Hillsong lunatic destroying Australia . We are a democracy not a dictatorship. We had standards now we're a laughing stock . Howard was the start of the rot . Murdock's maids are nothing more than a mouthpiece of the White House. US wants war
Wow, thank you scoop.
Ports, hospitals, universities, power, water, farms, airports, industry, it’s time to reclaim them back. auspol
It takes one to know one, Mr Howard.
Why would you listen to that lying old fart ? This is Honest John we’re talking about .
CCP has never changed what it is. It just uncovered its true face because it does not want to hide anymore!
I love ya Johnny but talk about stating the bleeding obvious .DERRRRR
Didn't China advise Jack boot John about introducing slave labour in Australia in the form of Work Choices at the height of Australia's biggest ever mining boom? John gave away the countries wealth by not taxing the multinational miners or our own.
JohnHoward campaigned & cheered for the Iraq war. The war that gave us ISIS. The same war that left a million Iraqi civilians dead. He has caused us more problems than China. ever did. He needs to STFU with the fear-mongering.
So who's this John Howard loser?
You dont have to be a BRAIN SURGEON TO KNOW THAT.
It’s not just Xi pingwongdong - it takes far more then one person to do what that lot are doing - cease all trade asap before they walk in and take over the world more then they already have - their nothing less than Hitler mentalists that need eradicating ASAP
Gee, you think? But only just recently hey? Where have you been hiding Johnny China XiJinping JohnHoward
China is throwing wrecking balls around the world. SCS, Taiwan, India, Canadian hostages, US trade war, Australia infiltration, exploitation of OneBeltOneRoad. Everyone on the planet is subject to China's long arm under the Security Law in HongKong.
Enjoy reading the comments, lots of people are aware of the real problem in Australia, not China but USA! What if LNP made a huge mistake to choose fight a rising China alongside falling America?
John Howard lacks the character, knowledge or wisdom to be worthy of listening to on any matter 🦜
He ticks all the War Criminal criteria boxes.
At least they're doing it in their own backyard. How's invading the Middle East under false pretences, PM?
Opinions by a war criminal hardly hold much value.
Looks like the LNP needed to prod the dozy koala to come out and vocalise something Sinophobic to support their apocalyptic narrative. auspol
Jealousy is a curse
Really
No words that Australia is also becoming more authoritarian under a RWNJ PM?
Didn’t he get the message from Bennelong voters? No one gives a fcuk what he has to say.
Next it will be compulsory military service.
Who let him out of the nursing home again?🙄
in other news.. water is wet and the sky is blue.
Here we go .... the RW nutjobs are jumping on the China War Threat Bandwagon! Australians are running for the hills, stockpiling toilet paper ... er ... etc
That’s it you c.... keep fuckin poking the bear !!
OH GOD MAKE IT STOP! Pathetic.
China is a trading nation not an imperialistic nation.
Don’t give a fuck what that war criminal says. He should be jailed.
Takes one to know one
I love tweets. They remind me what a bunch of knuckle dragging swamp Muppets the Murdoch news empire while making me feel good that they get no support from me.
No Shit, Sherlock! That’s a Blinding Flash of the Obvious!!!
Australia need to look at their own prob instead of meddling others. Your country is in recession with Covid 19 here what’s ur solution instead of blaming others? Plus you are not in any position to “warn” others !
auspol Why would anyone take any notice of what a war monger & war criminal like John Howard has to say? Send John Howard to the Hague to face his war crimes for the deaths of hundreds of thousands due to sending military to invade another country based on known lie !
What else would the old weasel say
'Eyebrows' Howard lost any credibility he had with the 'weapons of mass destruction' debacle. Also for Howard's info....Australia is becoming more authoritarian under ScottyFromMarketing 's leadership. They both make me 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
🤦🏼♀️😳🙄
The worst thing about the CCP criminal group is to burn down all the evidence against them
Takes a warmonger to spot one, I suppose
What an insight! I had no idea. Such a pity such deep insights are only shown on Sky News. It just goes to show the bubble of tight little conversations the regime has out of sight ... for /about us. How many young Australians has Howard lined up for this war?
Yet not a peep about Trump.
More answers about the true nature of the CCP on NTD
That's not the story he was saying during his visits to China.
Current Australian citizens are worried Australia is becoming more authoritarian under Prime Minister Morrison’s leadership, with Canberra increasingly determined to “act like fascist, racist, war mongering, bigots” in the Asia-Pacific region.
So true China getting more autocratic
eerrrrrrr . . . what . ? theyve only just realised . ? should hav cut ties with them 20 years ago . ! dissapointing its taken a global pandemic for aust to realise . ! Not the animal & human rights abuses, sweatshops, concentration camps, organ havesting of falun gong, etc, etc ?
Traitor Howard sold Australia’s LNG to China and now Australians pay record high prices whilst Chinese pay a pittance
And Australia became more authoritarian under John Howard. Now Morrison and Dutton making it much worse. Bit hard to throw stones to be frank. auspol
He’s alive?
We all know what john howard thinks of asians. When he was opposition leader he wanted to ban asian immigration, inspiring pauline hanson.
Someone should warn Australians that Australia is becoming more totalitarian under this far right wing LNP government
Former PM squandered nation's wealth, spied on East Timor and took us into illegal wars. He also loves to support abusers. The little troll is not really a trusted voice
Little Johnny who had judgement passed on him by his own electorate- a disgrace of a man. Pro aid cuts to S/E Asia yet when China steps in with Aid Pro Quo it's throwing its weight around ! What...like Australia in Timor Leste ?
So from this day forward thou shalt be known as ‘Scoop’ Howard.
Duh! This is what I have been saying for months! years even. (You can check any of my old tweets) John Howard is saying nothing new. Xi Jinping is a DICTATOR. The faster the world realises this, the more we need the Chinese to remove him from power. XiJinping China Auspol
John Howard. Resident genius on international relations. Has he found the WMD'S in Iraq yet?
Hoping the little man was trending cause he died 🙄
Who cares what John Howard has to say. I believe he is one of the worst PM's we ever had. Steal from the poor and give to the rich. Robbed Australia of job choices and made everything causal. The reason most people have no benefits today. Retire and stop lingering.
Why is this prick not in prison WMD ring a bell?

So what? There will always be superpowers and now that the US is dead China is taking its place. So maybe instead of being antagonistic we should be forging solid alliances and leaving the US to fester in the sewer of its own making.
John Howard campaigned & cheered for the Iraq war. The war that gave us ISIS. The same war that left a million Iraqi civilians dead. He has caused us more problems than China. ever did. He needs to STFU with the fear-mongering.
Thank you Captain Obvious.
Not just throw its weight around. Cyberattacks on Australia and espionage accusations go way beyond that. It's close to war
Go away Johnny.
This from the cruel little man who thought it would make him “big” to believe Bush’s lies and join the Iraq fiasco at a cost of how many lives? Plus his rhetoric against AsylumSeekers has cost or destroyed 1000s more lives. His human rights abuses are myriad. LNPdiasasters
