Victoria is expected to officially engage in the controversial $24.5 billion infrastructure program with China later this year, which is in direct contradiction to the federal government's public approach to the Belt and Roads initiative.
Ms Katsambanis said Nations including the United Kingdom and the United States have issued warnings against signing on to China’s Belt and Roads Initiative. Why isn’t there a federal power “to stop Daniel Andrews from doing this to the state of Victoria,” she asked. Sky News host Gary Hardgrave drew a comparison between Hong Kong and the state of Victoria suggesting both were being compromised by the Communist regime.
How do the Victorians keep reelecting the worse Premier in Victorian history
monicaoshea Your Supreme leader Andrews is a authoritarian sociopath.
Labor in Victoria as well as Andrews are anti democratic anti free speech anti freedom there pro China
I think that the federal government should investigate if Daniel Andrews get huge benefits from the agreement or not.
GrumpyOLSoldier ComradeDan is leading Victoria into abyss. And Australia too
So it’s ok for Federal Liberals to sign a secret deal with China 18 months ago but Daniel Andrews isn’t?
Why did the 'rebuke' take so long?
“Red flags”
This red Flag?
Hopefully yr on newscorp chopping block
So. The masses believe sky news. That’s what’s wrong with the world
Is Shanghaisam working for Comrade Dan
Ha Ha Red flags, you better believe it.
He's not listening. Victoria is a shambles
FAKE NEWS SkyNews. So not true
We could export him to China they think he's worth a fortune, PROBLEM solved 👍😁
He may have interest in what he deal he has made or he is trying to show he is above the government or thinking only off Victoria
While they are cheering him on for disrupting the country and impeding economic growth. Stupid Labor.
Sack him.
Leftist cucks love red flags
'Push that agenda! Push! Push! PUSH!' *splorch* 'Congratulations! It's a bullshit!'
Yer no coffee.
Hahahahahahah....so Karalee *wants* to raise red flags? Which side is she on? LOL.
Red flags 🇨🇳 lol 😂
REBUKED by WHO, names SWEETY or STFU
Time for him to go. Where are you AdemSomyurek ? DanSpill
Words cannot describe the absolute contempt this man has for Victoria & Australia. Where the fuck are the Liberals that should be tearing him apart. His own Labor colleagues in Canberra are appalled at his behaviour. He truly believes he is untouchable.
AStrongerOZ DanielAndrewsMP the 'power' has gone to his head.
Red Dan should be charged with treason
Yaaaaawn.
Trudeau did something similar to Canada, Trudeau only signed the letter condeming china about Hong Kong because trump put pressure on him, China is trying to take over the world economically, Trudeau is a dirty traitor, so is your Andrews, Canada has been paying attention
We'll accept trade. We won't accept baggage. China needs this lesson from the world. And Andrews needs to resign from his job as porter.
Disgraceful... we should sponsor DanielAndrewsMP a single ticket to Beijing and he can stay there forever. We will never trust CCP again, lots of bad examples, from XinJiang to HongKong, from COVID-19 to HUAWEI, they never kept their promises. AustralianLabor
Curious isn't it that this wave of Sinophobia mainly focuses on Daniel Andrews rather than the huge Australian companies like BHP that sell them huge amounts of resources. Nor does it explain what is wrong with one belt and road.
Karalee K and her husband r pathetic

Aust 'balancing' trade relations amid 'economic coercion' from China | Sky News AustraliaUS Studies Centre Senior Advisor Jared Mondschein says “so far Australia has done pretty well in sticking with its principles” amid rising trade tensions with China but “things are definitely getting tougher and more challenging”. \n\nMr Mondschein told Sky News it was “a constant balancing act” for Australia to manage relations both with China and the United States. \n\n“What you’re seeing right now is more economic coercion,” he said. \n\n“The tension at the heart of this is that China is prioritising political control over economic growth.\n\n“China has been trying for many years now to gain more influence in the region by all means necessary, it has tried to offer both carrots and sticks. \n\n“The coronavirus has really shown the true colours of a number of leaders and countries and unfortunately the true colours of some are not so pleasant to see and what you’re seeing right now with this wolf-warrior diplomacy from China is a pretty hoping and transparent economic coercion.” \n\nImage: Getty Glad to see Australia standing firm in the pursuit of the truth and justice,and not hiding behind cowardly neutrality in the face of coercion and bullying.The world should have never trusted a regime that machinegunned down its own people to begin with.

Pompeo casts doubt on Hong Kong autonomy from China | Sky News AustraliaUS Secretary of State Mike Pompeo says he no longer believes 'Hong Kong maintains a high degree of autonomy from China' as the future of trade between Hong Kong and the US is placed in doubt.\n\nUnder laws passed last year, the United States must certify Hong Kong remains separate from China or it risks losing its beneficial trading status. \n\nUS officials will now determine whether to impose sanctions or other measures on the city.\n\nIn Hong Kong, police have arrested at least 300 protestors as they flooded streets to voice anger over China's new national security legislation.\n\nThere's been an international outcry over Beijing's proposal with fears it would spell an end to freedoms in the semi-autonomous territory.\n\nThere was a heavy police presence around the legislative council as they debated a bill that would criminalise disrespect of the Chinese national anthem.\n\nImage: AP mikepompeo I'm sorry what? The british gave Hong Kong back to china... This just shows how American propaganda works. Imagine if china started making claims about how America treats Puerto Rico? Or maybe they have words about Gauntonimo bay in Cuba? America has no moral grounds to stand on. mikepompeo Rather then learning from the success in Hong Kong and Taiwan, the CCP always prefers to fallback to the mantra of being a genocidal regime that rather lie, threaten, coerce, bully, steal,..their way to prosperity. It is time to cease all international business with this regime!

COVID-19 sees an escalation in 'strategic competition' between the US and China | Sky News AustraliaThe Australian's Editor-at-Large Paul Kelly says the “deep-seated” strategic competition between the world's two superpowers ultimately boils down to “who has the best system” when it comes to the economy, technological innovation, and viral control.\n\nThe open hostility between the United States and China has only been consolidated by the outbreak of the coronavirus.\n\nUnited States Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has accused China of exploiting the crisis concealing critical information while engaging in disinformation campaigns. \n\nCountries in the Alliance have become increasingly concerned about China’s behaviour under President Xi Jinping, which has been brought to the attention of the world by reports of local ships sinking and coercive behaviour onshore in locations such as Hong Kong. \n Hard to USA to win when there is a Man Child in charge who's incapable of understanding the consequences of his actions.
