More drama today ...
China has hijacked a press conference with Health Minister Greg Hunt on COVID-19 testing kits in bizarre scenes the government is trying to insist are an "olive branch" to cool rising diplomatic tensions.

Just hours after accusing Australia of "panda bashing", dirty tricks and "an all-out crusade" against the communist superpower in retaliation for Scott Morrison's calls for an independent probe into the origins of COVID-19, China's consul-general for Victoria, Zhou Long, made a surprise appearance during a nationally televised press conference.

The event was held to announce that mining magnate Andrew "Twiggy" Forrest's Minderoo Foundation had secured 10 million COVID-19 testing kits from China for use in Australia.

Senior government sources confirmed it was not expected the consul-general would speak at the press conference until Mr Forrest welcomed him to the podium and he began praising China's response to the virus.

"The Chinese Government has released information related to the COVID-19 in open, transparent and responsible manner and we have worked closely with WHO (World Health Organisation) and other countries, including shared experiences in epidemic prevention and control and providing assistance within our capacity," he said.

>snip<

The comments were notable given they come in the middle of a war of words between the two nations, with Chinese state media bashing Australia as a "trouble maker" and comparing it to a piece of chewing gum stuck to China's shoes.

The more China digs in its heels and flings out threatening comments the more guilty they appear and we know that they are guilty of withholding vital information about the virus and then trying to lay the blame elsewhere. All the while tens of thousands of people around the world were dying. They are also guilty of shutting down internal travel whilst still allowing hundreds of thousands of Chinese to travel around the world spreading the virus.

The US offered to send medical assistance to China and they refused. Now China is freaking out about an independent enquiry and trying to bully those countries/leaders who feel an enquiry is absolutely necessary.

China has a lot to answer for and I hope they pay BIG TIME! I also hope that ScoMo is smart and strong enough to keep standing up to them.

I tend to agree with you, but suspect we have more to lose than China especially when our economy is crashing.

Maybe better for Scumo play a lesser role and let moron Trump fight the fight!

I think Scumo and all Australians should be looking to diversify our exports and not have so much reliance on China by looking for alternate countries to export to such as India and really trying to encourage local production

And that would make us weak, hypocritical and cowardly and something we certainly don't want to be unless we want to keep kissing China's communist butt. No thanks.

I see bought and paid for Kevin Rudd (ex leftist Prime Minister for those who don't know) is out on his shoddy Chinese soapbox criticising ScoMo for standing up to the Chinese. Now where did Rudd's wife make all her money? Hmmm! Let me think a minute. CHINA! :roll:

We can all bullshit on how tough we are on a forum, but I suspect Morriscum will tone it down.

What's it got to do with being tough on a forum and what does Trump have to do with it? Trump will lead the way and look after Americans but it's our government who needs to look after us.

In case you haven't noticed it's people like Rudd (your leftist hero) who is trying to bow to China, not Morrison.

During the CV outbreak in February China also had/has an outbreak of the deadly H5N1 virus. Would you like that here too? I certainly wouldn't and an independent enquiry is absolutely necessary for world safety.

For someone who likes to call everyone a moron you sure .... :roll

In reality...we all know what will happen....
Morrison and his cohorts will whinge and moan like sick children for a few weeks...or months.....whatever...
Then they will go back to kissing Chinese arse…..
If you look closely at Morrison, Payne, Frydenberg and all the rest of them, you will see great
big jewfish lips on all of them...…
Perfect for arse kissing..... :rofl :rofl :rofl

You are the idiot acting all tough when in reality you would be kissing there arse like Morisson ultimately will!

Trump has a big enough country that isnt as reliant on China as Oz is, so he can fight the fight if he wants to, which is another question based on his unpredictability.

Rudd like Bob Carr is a yesterdays man nobody so who gives a rats what he says.

I would also like to see an enquiry but I suspect China will give it the single finger treatment.

Would you like to lay money on tough guy Morrison not quietening it down.

I hope not. This is a perfect opportunity to kick Chinese influence to the kerb and bring back essential manufacturing to our shores. If we don't do it now we are done forever.

Ahhh poor Smithy or is it Red? It's really hard to tell you apart. You are kissing ass not me. Nothing I have ever said could ever be interpreted or construed as kissing China's ass. Not once! Not ever!

I don't know what Morrison will do but if he backs down he will be spitting in the face of dead Australians imo.
