US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has praised Australia for standing up to China despite"coercive pressure from the Chinese Communist Party to bow to Beijing's wishes".
"We started this morning by talking at length about the Chinese Communist Party's malign activity in the Indo-Pacific region, and indeed all around the world," Mr Pompeo said at a press conference. The US and Australia also intend to strengthen supply chains by establishing a US-funded commercially operated strategic military fuel reserve in Darwin."We are very different countries, we are very different systems, and it's the points on which we disagree that we should be able to articulate in a mature and sensible way," Ms Payne said.
Wow...im often blown away by the hatred and extremism of the SBS commenters This is what ALP voters act like when they're talking among themselves.
Everyone is a dictator
Puppet
It’s more likely that the US is praising Australia for bowing down before America.
No, the US praises Australia for bowing to the US stance on China ahead of its own interests. About time we took a unilateral best for us position!
Should Trump be (rightly) kicked out in Nov she will regret this photo.
Cringe-worthy and shameful.
Praise from Pompeo? Hmm. Underwhelming at best.
Never bow to a dictator.
Fvck China
Masks? 1.5m?
Why does Australia, even though it hates the Chinese people, want to stand by the liar and crook and terrorist? Probably you are one of those! Sad.
Australians don’t need praise from America about anything thank you!
Good job Marise
Disgusting
I can tell you right now, there is a huge number in Australia who will not bow to America ever again...
🤢🤢
Thanks mate! You shared my military expenditures and risks ！
puppy is happy now as the master praised. AU government is a joke now
T wins election and tries to crush any opposition and ongoing opposition, T loses and refuses to accept result and faces courts and opposition drummed! : bloodshed or civil war! OR IS HE PREPARING THE STAGE FOR A WAR OR GRAND CONFLICT ON THE WORLD STAGE BEFORE NOVEMBER?!
Wouldn't it be interesting to know who came up with this defense spending?! Who is the beneficiary? ( money goes to?) Was this capricious decision influenced by a needy big brother? Interesting?....
After the 'praise' from Pompeo we will get' now this what you HAVE to do for us' you are our only partner this time not like Iraq era. China has WMDs using COVID virus..
Unless each of these folk is more than 2m wide, they ain’t 1.5m apart... they ain’t physically distanced. Marise Payne must go into quarantine on return to Oz.
Lies, lies, lies
Gee. Praise from Pompeo. Winning.

Australia has 'revolutionised its position on China' by 'siding with the US' | Sky News AustraliaRMIT Professor Joe Siracusa says Australia has “revolutionised its position on China” as it moves to reject Beijing’s maritime claims in the South China Sea. \n\nAustralia has claimed China’s actions, which include constructing artificial islands and military bases in the strategic waterway, were inconsistent with the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea and therefore invalid. \n\nMr Siracusa told Sky News the nation had in the past “taken a position but not a side”. \n\n “This time Australia has taken a position and a side, it’s taken the side of the United States,” he said. \n\n“So China sees Australia march right behind the US in lock step. \n\n“Someone from China, in the foreign ministry, said yesterday there’s very little Australia can do to repair the damage so I think that’s absolutely correct.” \n\nImage: AP Actually, all Australia has done is call China out for its illegal activities. Fvck China Hell ya! What’s next for the Chinese, the Great Barrief Reef? F them, as simple as that. The CCP can go and F themselves

Australia-US looking to ramp up joint military exercises in South China SeaAustralia and the United States are set to conduct more joint military exercises in the South China Sea following Canberra's decision to brand China's territorial claims unlawful at the United Nations. Don't do it Australia you are not a power house when it comes military, USA pretending yous are mates because they're gunning for war. Looks like Jared’s met his Australian counterpart. Two of the world’s emptiest puppets meet up for a MENSA convention. Very foolish game that we have no right to play. US is in the wrong on this unilateral escalation and we would do best to stay away and advise them to pull their head in.
