They will not find much. Trump has cut funded to this research.

So they claim..... Probably U.S. hackers pretending to be Chinese hackers to inflame and antagonise a simmering situation. (Created by white guys with big egos and little dicks. - like those seen on Skynews.)

Does this mean admitting such research started before China?

Australia 'caught in US-China crossfire' and 'there will be serious economic implications' | Sky News AustraliaThe Switzer Report founder Peter Switzer says now is the worst time to be caught up in escalating trade tensions with China. \n\n“Once the economy’s back on its feet, that’s when it’s time to get stuck into China, but at the moment we’re vulnerable,” he said. \n\n“Obviously there’s a simmering, potential trade war and it really didn’t start with us, but we’re being caught in the crossfire because we ganged up and supported Trump in asking for an objective inquiry into China’s behavior in relation to the virus. \n\n“Clearly China’s cheesed off in the fact that we’re supporting Donald Trump and there will be serious economic implications.' \n\nMr Switzer told Sky News “this is not the time” because Australia was staring down the possibility of a great depression, which he said the government was so far managing to avoid through stimulus measures. \n Business people should be made to disclose their China exposure before making such comments, my trust is wearing thin. Thx for the obvious advice. You mean at the beginning of a recession- depression were every $ counts. Duh!

'Kowtow to China once' then it knows it's 'got you' | Sky News AustraliaFormer Labor minister Stephen Conroy says communist China has been 'looking for an excuse' to pay Australia back ever since it banned the Chinese state-owned Huawei from the 5G rollout.\n\nBack in August 2018, Australia banned Huawei - the Chinese state-owned telecommunications company - from being involved in the country's roll out of 5G technology.\n\nChina has now threatened to place a close to 80 per cent tariff on Australian barley exports, under the guise of an 'anti-dumping probe,' giving the Australian government less than two weeks to resolve the issue.\n\nMr Conroy said this move is clearly in retaliation to the Huawei decision and Australia's call for an independent inquiry into the origins of the coronavirus, adding that the Australian government cannot 'allow an authoritarian dictatorship to coverup its role' in the outbreak of the virus.\n\nHe told Sky News host Peta Credlin the government has to 'maintain its nerve' as it cannot be seen to be 'kowtowing' to the communist Chinese government.\n\n'If you kowtow to China once, they know that they've got you and they'll do it again'.\n\nImage: AP Who is the boss of sky news I was wondering ,benefiting for whom ? The same Stephen Conroy who wanted to run an internet filter on our feeds and spent many millions trying.. Commie system much? Conroy can go f.. himself. Stephen’s right! After the Huawei decision they started the bullsh*t abt our barley & they’ve been stretching it out but along came our request for an investigation & how dare we show them ‘disrespect’ twice. So they’ve gone again with beef but 2 for 2 won’t do. So wait for 3!

Govt backbenchers must be brought into line on China: Albanese | Sky News AustraliaForeign Minister Marise Payne has been urged to bring the backbench into line on China after Nationals MP George Christensen labelled a suspension on Australia meat exports a “bastard act”. \n\nLabor leader Anthony Albanese criticised the government’s handling of China while campaigning in Eden-Monaro, taking aim at the optics backbenchers have been more vocal on the issue than the foreign minister. \n\n“It’d be pretty handy if we heard more from the Foreign Minister instead of people like George Christensen,” he said while campaigning in Eden-Monaro.\n\n“The Foreign Minister and the government need to take control of this and exercise a little bit of discipline because that is clearly in Australia’s national interests.”\n\nMr Albanese said he backed the call for an independent inquiry into the origins of COVID-19 but lashed the government for not putting in the groundwork before it announced the push. \n\n“Australia must always stand up for its national interests,” he said. \n\n'But we do have to make sure that when it comes to diplomatic issues, the groundwork is done.’’\n MarisePayne Why? It is a bastard act. Time for tariffs on Chinese imports. MarisePayne MarisePayne Its true CHINA

China celebrates coronavirus response in propaganda manifesto | Sky News AustraliaChina has sensationally declared that “bats are never part of the Chinese diet” and denied that “wet markets” have ever even existed on Chinese soil.\n\nAn 11,000-word propaganda manifesto prepared by China’s foreign ministry - which quotes Abraham Lincoln to support its arguments – has detailed a lengthy rebuttal to critics calling for an investigation into the origins of COVID-19 which has killed 290,000 people.\n\nThe document is full of egregiously false statements but among the more bizarre of the claims is that whistle-blower Dr. Li Wenliang was not actually jailed for warning his countrymen but was in fact a loyal member of President Xi Jinping’s Communist Party.\n\n“Dr. Li Wenliang was a good doctor,” the document says.\n\n“He was a member of the Communist Party of China, not a so-called ‘anti-establishment figure’.\n\n“On 3 January 2020, Wuhan's local police authorities asked Dr. Li to a police station for inquiry, and urged him to stop spreading unconfirmed information by issuing him a letter of reprimand.\n\n“All countries have strict rules on the confirmation of infectious diseases. This is a common practice. Dr. Li Wenliang was not a whistle-blower, and he was not arrested.”\n\nThe manifesto also suggests the virus did not even come from China and to suggest it did would be racist and “incite undue fear”.\n\nChina also denied that wet markets have reopened in China since the outbreak, or that they were ever even open in the first place.\n\n“There are no so-called ‘wildlife wet markets’ in China and in fact, China does not even have the concept of ‘wet markets’,” the document said.\n\n“What we have in China are farmers' markets and live poultry and seafood markets. They sell fresh fish, meat, vegetables, seafood and other farm produce. A few of them sell live poultry. Basically, they are no different from the fish markets or fruit and vegetables markets in Western countries.”\n\nPrime Minister Scott Morrison has called on the World Health Organisation to 'governments telling the truth' Hehe, that's not how government works. GovernmentIsTheVirus TheyAllLieAllOfTheTime Our Australian PM should have never picked a fight with China over the air lines, diplomacy was always critical on this virus investigation. A huge stuff up that has and will affect us for several years now. But now they have picked a fight we must cut the cancer out If a trading partner is more a dictator then time to stop trading with them and sell your products in other areas. Cut off all raw material supply. Put restrictions on purchases from China, cancel all contracts and take back any Australia assets owned by China within Australia

PM 'holds concerns' over China trade dispute | Sky News AustraliaPrime Minister Scott Morrison says he holds concerns over the China trade dispute and the government is in the process of reaching out to their Chinese counterparts to resolve the issues. \n\n“We hold concerns for the way this issue is being progressed at this point in time. This is a matter that the government has been raising now for a considerable period of time. In fact I have done so on several occasions in my direct meetings with the Premier (Li Kewaing),” he said.\n\nShadow Agriculture Minister Joel Fitzgibbon asked the Prime Minister about the issue after it was revealed China ordered a suspension on four Australian abattoirs and had plans to slap high tariffs on barley imports. \n\nMr Morrison said the government stood “firmly behind our agricultural producers”. \n\n“Let me be clear about one thing. Australia stands firmly behind our agricultural producers and we stand firmly about where we see the role of the Australian economy in the broader world,” he said. \n\n“We have great confidence in our outlook as a trading nation and we engage with all partners in good faith with the purpose of ensuring the increasing global trade.\n\n“That is the basis for our relationship with the Chinese government when it comes to a comprehensive strategic partnership it works across many different areas and has been a highly successful agreement. From time to time there will be differences in views and we will progress them constructively in the national interest, always in the national interest.”\n As usual, he goes crawling Morrison is f*cking incompetent. Reaching out is expected, finding out the facts re COVID19 is also fair and expected. Morrison doing an outstanding job through the pandemic.

Govt to work 'methodically' through China meat ban | Sky News AustraliaDeputy Prime Minister Michael McCormack says the government will work “methodically” to ensure the China meat ban is worked through. \n\nThe Morrison Government was blindsided on Tuesday after China suspended exports from four Australian abattoirs including three in Queensland and one in New South Wales. \n\nThe suspension comes just days after China threatened to impose 80 per cent tariffs on Australian barley. \n\nMr McCormack told Sky News the government would carefully work out the issue which China claims was due to mislabelling and not linked to Australia’s push for an inquiry into the origins of COVID-19. \n\n“We will work through, with the departments, work through the Trade Minister Simon Birmingham, we will do it methodically, we will do it carefully, and we want to make sure that we can get through this in the right and appropriate way and we will,” he said. \n\n“I think the whole world, China included, wants to see how and why this happened and indeed how and why it spread. And I think those answers are necessary. \n\n“But for Australia of course, $149.7 billion of trade with China, I know trade equals jobs and more trade means more jobs. \n\n“So we want to make sure certainly for our farmers, who have been hard hit by drought, coming out the drought, that there is a better future ahead for them unlike the last three years or in some cases seven years.\n\n“Of course trade with China is important, trade with anywhere is important, so we will be doing our utmost to make sure we go through the proper process to get through this.” Do you mean instead of its usual chaotic approach to foreign affairs driven by Trumps latest Tweets? This will help ! Sell your soul to China ~ Ya, Mate ~ go for it!
