Chinese officials have refused to accept calls from Australian officials as part of an unprecedented deterioration in relations that culminated when Australia sought an investigation into the origins of the coronavirus pandemic, which first emerged in Wuhan.

“After arguing that ‘the strong should not bully the weak’, Xi should examine his own government’s threats and punitive sanctions levelled against Australia and other countries that have dared to criticise his authoritarian regime,” the Alliance said.

Damn right!



It's not fair to say China bully Australia. It's Australia itself conducted wrongdoing, especially ban Huawei from the rollout of 5G network. Aussie is the first country to ban Huawei in the world, even before US. Aussie used the excuse for national security reason, but Aussie has widely used Huawei for 4G network equipment and hasn't identified any security issues.

I wonder why Australia likes to directly confront China, why it doesn't learn some strategies from NZ. Our Andrew Little said " we welcome all 5G equipment suppliers, including Huawei." But in fact, both Spark and Vodafone chose Nokia.
