Australia’s prime minister says a tweet by a Chinese official which shows a fake image of an Australian soldier appearing to slit a child’s throat is “truly repugnant.”

FILE - In this Nov. 17, 2020, file photo, Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison reviews an honor guard during a ceremony ahead of a meeting at Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga's official residence in Tokyo. Morrison said Monday, Nov. 30, 2020, a tweet by a Chinese official which shows a fake image of an Australian soldier appearing to slit a child's throat is “truly repugnant.

Morrison said he is seeking an apology from the Chinese government. The incident is further increasing tensions between the two nations in a relationship that was already under strain. It “is truly repugnant. It is deeply offensive to every Australian, every Australian who has served in that uniform,” he told reporters in Canberra. “The Chinese government should be totally ashamed of this post. It diminishes them in the world’s eyes.”

Truly repugnant.

Here is the apologize Australia’s prime minister requested

What a great art!

2 children murdered,that's true or not?

how dare you speak of the crime that I actually did.

To all the Chinese immigrants and students in Australia: how do you describe AUS & the Aussies to your Chinese family & friends back in China? What are some of the adjectives you use? Nice? Great? Compassionate? Selfish? Degenerate? Narcissistic? Dishonest? Materialistic?

Funny I had to google why Chinese did it because the news of Australian solider murdering 39 civilians incl. women and children never made into any headline. And yet, this Chinese official mocking did. Jesus..what an objective & unbiased reporting.

The difference is China covers up the million times more people it kills, and murders those who dare to investigate, while Australia conducts its own transparent investigation to uncover these 39 yet proven unlawful killings of mostly enemy combatants in a war zone.

Didn't Australia killed Afghan civilians and prisoner? So it's okay for Australia to do so, but it's not permissible for others to talk about it.

Shame on Australian Army

Life is too short to write new Tweets. cc: ScottMorrisonMP SpokespersonCHN MFA_China JoeBiden KamalaHarris

Elite military troops slaughtered the common Afghan people, shouldn’t they apologize rather than asking others not to mention this fact?

傻逼澳大利亚人 不愧是罪犯的后代

Chinese bots are out.

Prime Minister ScottMorrison demands Twitter remove the offensive tweet from a Chinese Government representative but wont ask his own coalition representatives eg. Craig Kelly to remove their offensive, racist & conspiratorial posts. A small sample of his posts ⬇️ Auspol

And he's not wrong China is one to talk about human rights, they've got a million Muslims locked up in camps

🇦🇺:YOU should apologize to me! 🇨🇳:? Why? For what? 🇦🇺:For you told everyone what I did!

wowowowow

But actually Australia soldiers did kill Afghanistan children.

Now China government is rewrite history on covid. How it was coordinate to change name of wuhan virus to covid to now about India.

I'm not going to apologize for caving in to you, because I want to defend his freedom of speech.

Any sympathy of China predicament has just gone down the drain. Such cheap fake rubbish. Xi must stepped in and curtail the den of wolves and mafia in his Foreign Ministry.This can blow up to a global buy Chinese last response .Millions of Chinese exporters will collapse.

I guess all Australians under this tweet don't understand what the mean of 'artistic creation' and 'creative freedom' are.That's a PICTURE, a Hand Painted picture, not a photo, kids!

Thank you for letting the whole world knowing this pic

The communist party will apologize to you after they’re done working on their apology for gifting us covid.

Divest from all Chinese companies and businesses. If you can make it in China you can make it in Korea or Vietnam or India. China doesn't have anything special and there's no reason we need them for anything. Period.

Is this REAL?

The pictures of the so-called Xinjiang concentration camps have all been proved to be fake, but isn't the Australian media still constantly propagating? Australia’s systemic racial discrimination has aroused great resentment among the Chinese people.

How’s it repugnant if it’s factual? It would be repugnant if ur soldiers didn’t do it but they did. Y are u more upset w/picture instead of their actions?

Come and witness the hypocrisy and evil of the Australian government

Isn't Australia the birthplace of the ultimate propaganda master?

Its not as bad as war crimes though. So..maybe suck it up.

Australia: Apologize. China: Why? Australia: He told me what I had done, and now the whole world knows.

the illustration is based on this photo published on Rolling Stone

Item 14 on China's list of complaints: 'an unfriendly or antagonistic report on China by media, poisoning the atmosphere of bilateral relations' Perhaps do more with the list than just say 'sod off' and we can all act normal again.

Hey, at least the alleged war crimes is being investigated. Meanwhile, China continues to deny this ever happening.

Punish the war criminals and fix the systematic problems instead of spending time to fixing cartoons by others, who just serve as reminders of massive wrongdoings over many years.

I Beleive The Chinese Official!!!👍👍 Why Would You Not? & France Wants To Start Global Racial Wars! This Is Nothing New.

Your this group of bad guys, a face but accused Australia? Is the picture on the Australian soldiers in order to protect the local animals and humanitarian elimination of local residents, embodies the values of Australia, what's wrong with it?

.ScottMorrisonMP Why is it repugnant? That is exactly what murderer Australian soldiers did in Afghanistan. Australia

I will be pro-Australia because apparently, they have banned hentai products.

Australia rigime and its war criminals

Except

Low life aussie war criminals and the cover up by aussie military. Truly disturbing. I don’t remember China sent war criminals to Afghanistan. 😂

No one should apologize to Australia for criticizing what they have done to Afghanistan.

Hypocrisy on all sides, as usual. Humanity is evil and stupid. Rien ne change.

Yeah...China. Those over 1 million Uyghurs working as slave labour in concentration camps for government approved businesses and being tortured or murdered if they don't comply... But Australia did support the U.S. and if you lie down with dogs... Now...Xi...we know what you did.

Well, I guess that's one way the AP tweets out what Australian soldiers did.

is this real?

This is hardly much more disgusting than the rite of initiation into soldiers in the Australian special forces in Afghanistan, for which it was necessary to kill an unarmed civilian Afghan peasant.

Propaganda is repugnant but what’s more repugnant are the Australian special forces that slit Afghani civilians’ throats

Read this while looking at this photo....

They both like to dislike muslims

Cast the first stone.

O que esperar desses comunistas miseráveis?

How lovely the mini-me Trump is!

Just post a picture of their Muslim concentration camps. We don't need to photoshop those.
