China's claims 'ludicrous': Frydenberg | Sky News Australia

Treasurer Josh Frydenberg says China’s latest criticisms of Australia are “ludicrous” amid a deepening diplomatic stoush over a probe into the origins of COVID-19. Australia’s call for a review into the origins of the coronavirus has been met with significant backlash from Beijing, who have threatened to boycott the nation’s education, tourism, and export sectors in retaliation.

The stoush has further strained the relationship already in the deep freezer of the Turnbull Government’s decision to ban Huawei from the 5G rollout. Mr Frydenberg reaffirmed Australia would not “bow down” to China’s threat. "The reality is Australia thinks it’s prudent and sensible for there to be an independent and transparent investigation into the origins of this global pandemic that has killed thousands and thousands of people across the world,” he told Sky News.

JoshFrydenberg Why do Australian media give it oxygen. Chinese Communist Party know how to make effective use of Australian media to broadcast its ugly threats. Chinese media is state controlled and don't broadcast Australian comment except in a highly edited way.

JoshFrydenberg China is telling the world that China is the world’s new God. “China is the virus. China created the coronavirus in it’s own image.”

JoshFrydenberg Time to hold China accountable

oz_jacko JoshFrydenberg China's arrogance extends beyond Australia. We need to pivot away from China with trade, education, manufacturing, medical supplies, sale of land, water and infrastructure. How can you make demands when you are on the back foot?

Australia was 'right' to push back against China's economic threat | Sky News AustraliaAustralia was 'right' to push back against China’s 'extraordinary' threat to damage Australia's economy, US Studies Centre’s James Brown says. \n\nChinese ambassador Cheng Jingye on Monday warned Australia’s export, tourism and education sectors could face a heavy hit from the withdrawal of Chinese interest if the government continued in its push for an inquiry into the handling of coronavirus. \n\nMr Brown said the warning, especially from the ambassador, was “extraordinary”. \n\n“Let's be clear, this was a direct threat from the Chinese communist party government,” he said. \n\n“Extraordinarily, the ambassador is threatening to do by design what they have already done by negligence - that is destroying our economy, reducing our exports, and declining our services industry. \n\n'So I think the government is right to push back.'\n\nImage: Getty too late Australia has put all your eggs in one basket, Australia too dependent on China Who would have thought the LiberalAus would stoop to virtue signalling.😮 Excellent article on this subject here:
