A boycott from China could cost the economy billions but Labor and the government have said they will not back down despite Beijing’s backlash.
On Monday Chinese ambassador Cheng Jingye warned Australia could face a boycott on luxury products and education if the probe were to go ahead. Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade Secretary Frances Adamson on Monday evening called the Chinese ambassador to personally voice Australia’s alarm. Image: AP
Yesssss! Finally some spine.
IStandWithAustralia 🇦🇺
Good on Australian government. We govern our country not China nor any country. Don't like it then pack up your shǒutí bāo and go home!!!!
Nobody accused australia for being a racist government yet?! Wierd!
Just may be there is a difference between the 285 billionaires in China and millions of upper middle class Chinese and the CCP. Maybe those people won’t want there life style to go back 50 years.
Chinaustraliaskrewuhan is my Home country
Australia should stand strong on principles
Well done! Stand firm Australia 🇦🇺. CCP is now the greatest threat to the world and has been bullying whatever country they want. We Australian won’t be bullied. ScottMorrisonMP
🇦🇺 Stand firm Australia! It's time the whole world investigate the CCP for this global pandemic. It must be held accountable. CCPVirus
👍
bill_dobell well some good news hope they donot faulter
Good. Common sense at last
Take back all asset from China and kick them out of Australia
And Neither They Should!!! Stand for Australia 🇦🇺 or leave!
many people think we can manufacture things in Australia and don't need to trade with China. I hate to say that, but this is totally ignorant of the most basic principle of economics. Australia simply can't make a lot of things. it's a fact, whether you accept or not
It is necessary to isolate China from the rest of the world, it is the least that can be done after trying to end humanity in a cruel way and all for wanting to be the world power! Do not buy anything that says made in China 🇨🇳 so that China gets the message
Good, we either stand up or forever live on our knees
If you have never been to China. Please don't talk at random
China has not imposed economic sanctions on Australia. You should ask the United States about the so-called sanctions.
Are Australian reporters in China graduating from junior high school? The news broadcast is all fake. Who is the messenger behind it?
Why is Chinese threat of boycotting Australia considered bad for Australia ? Economic distancing from China would be good for the world in the long term.. China is the new USSR, only more dangerous to the free world.
China needs iron ore and other resources- they are not in a position to be bullies this time.
Weve heard it all before all Piss and wind stir the pot then forget what the argument is about.China is our Master decades of previous Governments who did not understand Asian Policy gave China their Big Stick. We are just a big supermarket of Rocks shut up and be gratefull .
Does Australia really matter to anyone globally? Other than a place for the winning superpower to move to (invade) after the nuclear war y'all seem to be pushing for.... Great country, but slomo should note our relative insignificance.
CCP MUST DIE!
Good. Fark them 🥊
China should be very careful.
Where is such threatening words?
Anneke_d_p If CCPChina truly believes USA or Italy or Africans are the source of the WuhanVirus, why aren’t they welcoming an independent enquiry? Don’t they think an enquiry by experts from many foreign nations would prove beyon doubt they were right to accuse others?
Chinese have played bluff with us for too long. Call IT! Stick with it. End their power grab.
China is an economic terrorist.
China cannot be trusted. Next time someone has a sniffle in one of their godforsaken wetmarkets, we have to shut down all flights immediately. Enjoy your bat soup.
Glad to hear.
Well done ScottMorrisonMP
Good!
It just a flame war, but between countries for political reasons, nothing gonna happened, ppl will busy to make money and forget the media after lockdown
China Asshoe
You can flush China down the drain. Where they belong!
Give the CCP the option of a detailed international investigation or paying the total damages bill. Pretty simple.
I am sure if the virus was started in Australia and caused the CCP to shut their entire counrty and economy down, they too would want an investigation to find exactly how this happened for 1. And for 2 to make sure that we can plan and better prepare against future pandemics.
Typical psycho anger guilt outrage. China’s outburst confirms China is “guilty as hell”, and the anger spat is to scare us into believing China is not guilty. Walter White said “I am the danger”, the egocentric feckless China is now clearly telling the world “China is the virus”
try to find the what, when and why of this pandemic and we won’t buy your stuff . Guilty of something 🤔
Sure you say that but Dumb and Dumber don’t have the intestinal fortitude to stand up to China and call it as it is. Let’s face it they are dopes
Fantastic let's wait and see
Dont stop PeterDutton_MP Australians need answers
Australian have a mysterious confidence handling issues with China ,it’s funny actually.
China is Guilty . We cant ignore we kust press forward Honestly if they dont want to do busienss with us then its good for Australia!
Don’t get excited people! These are words. We have heard them before. Actions speak louder than words. Nothing will happen. They say this to calm the masses.
China Australia fears that it is burdened by 30% of the economy Australia's biggest weakness is that it has become completely dependent on China Now doing poison work for Australia Australia will have to turn its economic boat towards India
I'm sure china needs our COAL, more than we need their cheap crap
Go SCOMO 👍🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Chez312 This type of coercion just adds more circumstantial evidence to CCP's culpability in the WUFLU crisis. We've just taken a huge economic hit locally! We, in Australia, will weather any economic storm China wishes to unleash Intentional or not, the WUFLU came from China's CCP
Here is a good place to start the pandemic probe:
Oh wow they got their big boy panties on did they?
When the Cabals been defeated by our GREAT POTUS realDonaldTrump with all the Patriots, soon we will become a Galactic Civilisation, so many good things are waiting, but first people need to accept and handle the truth. WWG1WGA
Story so far.Trump in trouble looks for scapegoat; tries WHO, Bill Gates, Obama, Governors, China; latter picked up by ScottyFM after Trump call. Australian mini-me politicians push China, China threatens Australia, Australia threatens China. Easily led follow & Trump's work done
Evil shameless threat! I believe Australians will not be scared to death
Great stuff! Stand strong ScottMorrisonMP
Stand firm Australia!
Let's see how long those balls will be inflated for.
Thank God for that 🙏
