Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison says tweet by Chinese official which shows fake image is “truly repugnant.'

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.

The graphic image was posted Monday by Zhao Lijian, a spokesperson for China’s foreign ministry. It shows a grinning soldier holding a bloodied knife to the throat of a veiled child, who is holding a lamb. 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.”

Hey! White Man, Where Is Your Home? Why Don't You Like It There?😷😷 This Is A Genocidal Government Playing Victim! I Truly Hope China Get To Drag This Guy & That Illegal Genocidal So-Called Government In Court /Jails! WHO ARE THE GUILTY ?

There are lot of China virus deniers in the MSM. Many virologists also side with CCP & 石正丽. These people may be initially fooled by the fake evidence that Covid19 virus came from nature but not anymore. The lack of compassions in the science community is SHOCKING and IMMORAL.

Voter Fraud hearing in Arizona

People of the world. I'm asking for help, my son Artem needs urgent heart surgery. He has a heart defect. There's less and less time left. If you can help, go to my profile information there. I beg you on your knees, help save your son

Can we use only photos showing people with masks please! Is that too much to ask? Let’s do better

The nerves those foreign spokespersons have, one would wonder?

But he doesn’t think the murders are repugnant. I know which one offends me more and it’s not a meme.

Hello, Would you like to see the cutiest town of Istanbul? If your answer is yes, we invite you to watch our video on YouTube If you have any question about Istanbul, I would like to answer CyberMonday

Wait, Chinese government uses Twitter when they claim it's evil and ban it within their borders? /S

Australia should be ashamed and apologize for killing the Afghan people.

What happened to the aborigines? Australia doesn't have the moral ground to stand on.

It is. It’s exactly what an asshole country would do.

No it does not. You are projecting. The world knows eradicating barbarianism requires equal and better barbarianism.

Australia,a pug-dog and a running dog of America.

因为袋鼠这个黑材料过于肮脏,以前的好友老鹰啥的也不敢沾边,怕惹一身骚,现在的袋鼠心情只能用一句话来形容😂😂'宝宝心里苦'。

China needs to be globally banned

PM australia is hypocrats

话说这袋鼠和熊猫之间互相不对付,总是吵来吵去,互有胜负。最近呢,袋鼠几年前干的一件丑事被挖出来,受到谴责,这熊猫呢也不知是真有料,还是P的,给火上浇油一下,袋鼠非常生气,大叫熊猫--没有武德,要求道歉。熊猫呢根本不搭理,继续站在道义的制高点上要求袋鼠承认错误。

Morrison is more outraged by a cartoon than Australian soldiers slaughtering Afganistan civilians.

China is famous for beating up its own people, and pushing Hong Kong and Taiwan around. They have no shame.

Why don’t they just tweet some of the funny things the Chinese government has done? I think that might be a little worse than Australia

Killing innocent is not ashamed, but who brings it up should be ashamed? If Scott Morrison has an affair, he is innocent, but whoever accuses he is cheating should be ashamed.

Australia PM should feel shame of his army involved killing civilian 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

We should be ashamed to still be in Afghanistan after almost 20 years.

Tell me what is the difference?

Your chief of the defence force announced this and payment to Afghanistan and stripping the awards before any sense of democratic justice had been served. Honestly how did you expect the rest of the world to react?

China should be ashamed of telling truth? WTF?

澳大利亚才该死,可恶的囚犯后裔们。

Australia has to be held accountable for its killings! Genocide!!!

They woudnt do it if they had any shame

Australia is not wrong in killing civilians It's all China's fault

Australia sold out to China. You can’t cry when they laugh at you now.

Repugnant has been Morisson all along.

It is because of the CCP that we are all under some form of lockdown as governments around the world follows its lead on a solution to a problem that does not work. SIgn this petition and end the CCP The CCP is the enemy of humanity.

Pants

The tweet wars continue...

Well do something about it but do in out of the media’s eyes ... hold a trade war cabinet make plans to eliminate a China trade and when ready cut them off at their knees and put 600% tariffs on their dumped goods after all manufactured get s gov rebate on all exported goods

China is sick to start with, well their leaders are.

Australia massacred the Afghan people, Australian government should apologize!

You want to talk to me Put your pants on

殘害他國平民你才可恥

They weren’t up there as any bastion of humanity in the first place.

If this is true, why not just appologize? For the sake of some humanity if not. To humble oneself is not a weakness, it's a strength. Strong to show human emotions. Can never go wrong. And it leads to healthier relationships. You can still disagree.

Why use 'should', not 'shall'? it is to avoid another ashame that China reject to follow him?

Photoshop. Prolly paid someone pennies to make it lol

end one party state

So Australia didn't respect free speech?

Scott Morrison take responsibility ! A picture it is a picture! SAS did these things! PM should apologise and much much more. Show some shame.

Miles Guo: Pre.Trump will win this election✊ But Pre. Trump’s safety is at risk from the CCP. said the 2020 Election is the Endgame btw the US and China. The CCP wants to ensure Biden win at all costs. Founder Group of the CCP is behind Software of fraud

ScoMo, your new lowness becomes well-known because of this

thanks

Let's follow each other

China is a pain in the ass

Do you accept this for your brother?

Translation: 'Although our Australian soldiers killed 39 innocent Afghan civilians and slit the throat of a child with a knife, but no one should be allowed condemn us! No one!'

What about unleashing Covid on the world?

It's deeper than Australia is reading China

It is ridiculous that the personnel of China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs completely ignored the severe domestic repression and persecution. And its people have no way to defend their rights. Now,they shamelessly mocking other countries. Human rights criminals are shameful🇨🇳👎

As opposed to the 1.6+ million & counting that China has killed with Covid-19 & their incompetence.

So Australia opens up about a terrible situation and tries to deal with it openly. The chinese government has no right to comment unless it openly exposes what is happening to the uyghur moslems in the detention camps.

These tweets are not written for people with normal judgment.

And you don't think china is not in joe's pocket think again

Can someone please explain why governments are using social media to conduct foreign policy?

The Chinese government cannot represent all Chinese people. I may be the exception.

The bottom line is, China is not making up stories in this case. But scomos band handling now makes the whole world see what’s going on

The Murder full of freedom and democracy

The country that committed atrocities against Afghan civilians is demanding apologies, that's rich. I guess Tony Abbott isn't the only dickhead prime minister.

Tell me what is the difference?

Then stop all trades and take the lands deregister their businesses let’s get back to Australia Owned ...it’s time independantcountry nomorecommunistdeals

on撚9 又一垃圾國家

Really? Then what about killing innocent civilians, blindfolded their eyes and cut their throat, cut throat of two 14-year-old boys and threw them into the river, forcing the recruits to shoot the prisoners of war to practice their courage...

So China has to apologize for cartoons, and Australia doesn't have to apologize for killing?

Morrison needs to be the adult here and not take the bait! He's pushing back and trying to make an example of China's behaviour as a means of deflecting attention from the murders committed by these Australian soldiers.

Morrison , offspring of prisoner

Morrison: The Chinese insult Australia! They must apologize for this! Passerby: What did the Chinese do? Morrison: They told others what we did in Afghanistan.

This is just a CG cartoon (NOT A FAKE IMAGE IT'S A CG CARTOON)produced by a very famous cartoonist in China.I don't know why Morrison is so pissed by a cartoon and want an apology.People in Australia don't allowed to create a cartoon?

China want to divide us as a country - that is their motive with this Twitter post. We are ashamed of what these people in our armed services did yes, but China are now using this to turn us against each other ... seriously... they need to fk off!

Australia government say: don't be afraid, we are coming to bring you peace! The real information is making you no peace. Such as robbed Australia land 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆

Psychological warfare

Why don't you shame you for slaughtering Afghan civilians

Isn't the truth that the Australian troops are killing innocent people in Afghanistan?

So, killing innocent Afghanistans is Not Repugnant?

Don’t you know that the truest aspect of CCPChina is the “fake image”, and all the others are false. ;)

It's a freaking meme. Stop deflecting from Australia's war crimes in Afghanistan, ScottMorrisonMP.

Is this a fake report too?

Let more people check the video and fact that Australian brutally killed innocent Afghan civilians. Morrison's action also needs to be condemned!

敢屠杀不敢承认的孬种!

It is really false, because only one person was killed in the cartoon, and the number is far from enough

Perhaps China should show some pictures of the crackdown in Tiananmen Square? Why ANY country does business with them after that is beyond me.

They'll do that to Australia, but would NEVER do the US like that because China Gov is bunch of pussies.

a paper cat

It's artistic rendering. Maybe he should learn to appreciate the art.

So what heck is going on? unarmed man in groud and soldier shot. So what heck is going on?

Australia is a country that may kill civilians in China in the future 1.4 billion Chinese people must know this

It was Morrison idea to use private security in Victoria. And his idea to lock up two kids in a concentration camp.

It is a fake picture. The knife in the hands of the Australian soldier should be a pistol

The one who shall be ashame is Austria.

That’s why Pompeo imposed sanctions to judges of international court investigating the US military criminal during Afganistán war.

You should feel guilty about this. Don't blame China, blame yourself.

I do believe most Australian Hate Afgahanistan war HOWEVER Zhaolijian used the fake Photo actually designed by a Chinese Graphic Designer which is not appropriate behavior for uploading to zlj517 's twitter.

The communist party will get right to that after they’re done working on their apology for gifting us covid.

The Australian prime minister should be ashamed of his soldiers killing Afghan civilians.

This is so funny: we are committing the crime and we are the one who should talk about it. God forbid if anyone else start talking about it. Instead of barking at other countries start with your criminals who have been killed Afghans.

what the Aus soldiers did to those civilians is truly repugnant

As if China has room to talk. That happens on a DAILY BASIS in their country. 🙄

Morrison should feel ashamed for the brutal killings.

This is a political caricature, not a photo, but it's too real. In fact, the cartoon depicts a detail in the Australian report.

It is repugnant.

Scomo can not represent to me even I'm Australian Chinese cuz he said ZHAOLIJIAN offensive All Austrlian I don't think it's true cuz no every Australian like Afgahanistan war and their citizen been killed without serious reason.

But Australian, US and UK forces committed heinous crimes in AFG The image if fake or NOT doesn't change the face These countries (NATO) have to pay for years and year compensation to Afghan nation

People of the world. I'm asking for help, my son Artem needs urgent heart surgery. He has a heart defect. There's less and less time left. If you can help, go to my profile information there. I beg you on your knees, help save your son

Mm-hmm ... Then choose other pictures by yourself……

wars crimes!! Australia!

So are the actual war crimes.
