China's embassy in Canberra says it is a joke for Australia to claim it has been vindicated by international support for a coronavirus inquiry.Australia was the first country to call for a global investigation into the origins of coronavirusThe Chinese embassy says the inquiry will be "totally different" to what Australia wanted
Last night Australia joined more than 100 countries at the World Health Assembly to co-sign a motion for an independent probe into the global outbreak.Australia was the first country to call for an inquiry, a move which sparked a diplomatic row with China. Beijing's embassy in Canberra has issued a statement saying the inquiry being considered by the WHA is "totally different" to the one Australia proposed, saying that to claim vindication "is nothing but a joke".
"A close look at the draft itself can easily come to such a conclusion," the embassy said in a statement."To claim the WHA's resolution a vindication of Australia's call is nothing but a joke."

'Nothing but a joke' ? I think the joke's on you, China. Your tariff-free chickens are coming home to roost. chengjingye auspol
It seems that Chinas true opinion of Australia has emerged. Our politicians and business leaders need to take note and take the steps necessary to reduce our dependence on China.

What a poor choice of language from this china rep. Very unprofessional and just downright disrespectful
It would seem that despite China wanting to hold the higher moral ground over the coronavirus inquiry, they have acted like 'little children' over the discourse and their behaviour with Australia. People that behave in this way, have 'something to hide'.
Delay of an investigation gave China a chance to get rid of any evidence & to clean up their mess to show the world China had nothing to hide!! The question is, over 120 countries support an investgation BUT China targets Australia & uses trade as a weapon against Australia!
We support the Australia government to inspect the corona virus. We never give up the difficult seach to know the truth of original virus.
Sadly Oz do that a lot and China called them on it. Fair call, just cop it sweet.
I'm sure they'll come up with something sinister. It wouldn't matter what they did, good old Danny and Timmy, CCP's useful idiots, will come out batting for them. They're painting themselves into a corner.😂👍👌
I tend to agree. It’s a given Scomo is a bad joke. But so is chest beating about achieving an enquiry that WHO flagged in early April and that China agrees with. Scomo is mixing threads trump pulls his strings somehow. It’s not in Australia’s interest to grandstand
Time to boot China off it's f*cking high horse in world politics and economics. I'm glad Australia has made a start 👍
Time Chinese Embassy to be taking to task if they don't like it here time for them to go home
yes morrison is demonstrating insanity by neglecting our trade with China ,he must reimburse farmers for lost revenue for his audacity to support trump in attacking China just ludicrous
We know China is a bully and it's going to get worse. It imagines it's entitled to rule this region. Businesses need to diversify their supply source and their customers as they will be very unreliable.
We are a very naive nation when it comes to global politics.
The Chinese people buy milk powder from Australia because they dont trust their own people or products....but we are a joke. I dont think so.
Put export tax on Iron ore.
This is how China operates. They’re bullies and whiny babies.
The politicians play the games and the commons bear the cost. The virus itself is bad enough. Cant they just concentrate on dealing with the virus and stop all these drama?
The Chinese know that Scott Morrison talk to Trump in the last two weeks..... Chinese know Morrison is doing Trumps bidding .. and true to form Scott Morrison got royally Grafted .. farmers are the ones that will suffer auspol ScottyFromMarketing abc730 BreakfastNews
CCP used money to pave their ways, but not this time , it is life threatening if we don’t take action, money is important but it needs to give way to lives!
Well if we had nothing to do with it what's with the barley tariff?
This bloke is hardly a “Diplomat”. He might have a diplomatic passport, but he’s Obviously Not Here to be diplomatic. Arrogant Dropkick. China accuses America of Hegemony and Hubris, but China is now leading the way in Both of those. Despicable.
Is that the Asian fella off man in high castle
Time to expel 🖕🏽
Xhinazi embassy is trying to raise their social credit score with their master AdolfXingdimpinghitler.
it is a joke. Anyone really know what Morrison gov ask for and what the other countries support for. if you do not know the difference shut the F? up.
PM fuck the Chinese out if our country. We don’t need a China man embassy hereabcnewsscottmorrisonpm
Getting played by Trump! He’s hasn’t said a word about Australia’s problem or has he? Keep your enemy close but your friend closer.
Chinese embassy is only a ugly dog of CCP Government and bark arrogant words to the World!
China need us more than we need them, China produces cheap poorly made products, countless times they’ve been caught out using dangerous and banned materials (asbestos, unsafe plastics etc) And what to we sell them, FOOD, Gas, Iron Ore, Metals, Education and Arable Land....
Agree
We look cheap if we continue to whinging about it, just get over it and moved on! The SM government will not change their mind. Lesson Leaned but never never forget.
The Chinese are referring directly to Morrison when they say he is a joke fact is Morrison fucked up again by going off half cocked to impress trump the government should have obtained other countries support and referred it to the WHO but Morrison wanted to be a star LNPfail
I'm sick of this bullsh*t. Either cut ties for supply of everything or tax the f*ck out of them back. Sh*t or get off the pot honestly. But whatever the choice shut up about it and get on with it.
Will not be a joke in a month when some nations start withdrawing their support for the WHO while China's wheat problem escalates.
Real Politik. Deal with it.
'Hey I know, lets piss off the world's largest producer and one of our thus-far best trading partners to try and get a few racism points, this will be fine and good' 'wait no-'
The joke will be on them soon . The world knows what games China is playing .
Scottish Morrison needs to stop playing politics at moment and step away from Trump behaviour traits.
To all the Scomo haters in this thread, you’re an embarrassment to Australia. China is a totalitarian dictatorship which holds democracy in contempt. Feel free to take up their citizenship if you are so in awe of their power.
Australians need to look at how they are supporting China in their daily lives and stop it. Every dollar we spend on Chinese made goods goes to support their ability to harm Australia. deletedidi banhuawei boycottchina buyaustralian
Send him home and ban all non residents from buying properties or businesses!
Tje joke is why AUS are allowing China to frt away with this. What happened to the FTA?
How about we change the subject. China is responsible for the biggest fuck up in a century? Discuss
The guilty always scream the loudest and the Chinese have been screaming their tits off
Surely this ambassador should be recalled immediately
We sold our country to the Chinese a long time ago.
Both BS. Our Government on both sides have enjoyed Chinese kickbacks and done nothing to stop China buying up infrastructure in Australia and China now think they can tell us what to do. Australian's do not hold the upper hand either way. None are working for the people.
Why is Australia pretending that this is a consequence of Australian pollies and media engaging in racist china bashing. Sometimes the bully get taken down. Wear it!
RandaltsRandal This is what happens when you’re trying to play with the big boys. And think one can be the posse for the Trumper.
Can we ask for a new Chinese Ambassador? If so, can we ask for a grown up this time?
MSMWatchdog2013 ScottyFromMarketing The genius communicator doing well then
Well scho mo grow a set tell China to f--k off an reclaim everything that they own yyyy should we bow down an be blackmailed by these idiots
The Chinese play a game called go. Give him his free ticket home, less anything oz made.and let’s stop following the American headless chicken
AnthonyCole68 Trump's little circus monkey
Send them home PM and close the Chinese Embassy.
How do you see ScottMorrisonMP
This stupid petty man, who thinks he's a diplomatic ambassador, is doing his childish best to belittle and trivialise the fact that Australia's demand for an independent inquiry is overwhelmingly supported by the rest of the world. The fact is that support is no 'joke' for China.
AnthonyCole68 I couldn’t care less about what China thinks.
How about some support for the country that you live in. Forget the politics. Think about what those in Australia alive in 2050 will have. China is thinking to 2100.
Aus should desist from playing in the big guys pen; they will be eaten up. Dont forget when little Johny asked for US help in East Timor invasion by Indonesia. They politely declined but offered a bit of tech. Back up!!
Now we see the real face of the CCP
Fascinating to see how most people on here see our Government as the problem and not a totalitarian regime that has a history of genocide, suppression of dissidents and lying to save face. I'm no fan of Morrison but surely an inquiry into the pandemic isnt out of the question?
It's fast getting to the point where Australia can tell the Chinese ambassador and staff to go home, they won't be missed.
SCOMO is gutless, Littleproud is an embarrassment. When will Australia get a government and a leader who will act against China, and not just talk against China. Australia needs to suspend iron ore sales to China, and show we are not prepared to take their shit.

Ban house purchasing then!!!!
This makes no sense. China starting to sound a bit Trump like. On one hand they are threatening Aus trade if we push a head with a inquiry then they claim Aus can’t claim it as a win that there going to be one. Fake new right China
All Australians need to BoycottChineseProducts & BoycottChina We refuse to do business with pure evil like CCPChina AnywherebutChina
Lets nuke Beijing
Morrison is as beholden to the US as we were to England in the First World War. If history is to be remembered, Australians were sent over the top of the trenches to certain death, much like the US would happily repeat to is today. They are not allies, they are frenemies.
Well Trump said jump and the lapdog Morrison said “How high?”
So many China apologists. Ignoring that this country has deplorable human rights, steals intellectual property and makes dissidents disappear, because you don’t like Scott Morrison.
Guys if Chinese expert came to Australia to investigate an unknown led virus, we won’t be happy about that right? So please stop double standard.
Don't think Scotty gives a shit As far as he's concerned Trumps farts don't stink
Don’t steal EU’s credit, have some integrity pls
Chinese hate the Truth because it is their worst enemy . Propaganda is their tool of choice as they wouldn't know the truth if they fell over it .
This Government politicised it there lies the problem.
Well they are correct in that respect the WHO carries out inquiries after all infectious desease outbreaks like Sars, Ebola etc. that is what they are there for.
Mr Chinese ambassador taking a joke on Australian
What a sly little face and I’m not talking about scomo!
CCP will use every means to make you feel oppressed if you dare to accuse it, no matter it refers to a person, a group, or a country.
Funny
The EU had been working with China on the proposal back in late April / early May. Australia wanted an investigation into China, different! EU proposal is a broad investigation, and will likely ask nations to back test some cases. Why has the US not signed up?! 🙄
China has no friends except the ones it rents. This is why.
Typical ScottyfromMarketing: 'borrow' someone else's idea and claim it for your own. This time he's hitched his little cart to Trump's nag. It's not working out well for many of us.
China is more dangerous than a terrorist

Australia’s claim of vindication is clearly rubbish but it’s for the domestic audience. And the cost of a few extra votes: our barley and beef industries, and wait for more.
Played and outsmarted by Trump.

China is getting back at us when we are extremely vulnerable, after the Bush fires & now the Chinese Virus. It's time to STOP kowtowing to 'them.' They play dirty, always have & always will. STOP allowing them to buy our land, houses & business. Above all stop trading with them
Really ?.. Australia is not leading the world?
That's Chinese ambassador must go back to China you not belong here you are spy on Australia and you tells you gornverment in China straight away...
What would happen if t Australian Ambassador in China used that type of language towards t Chinese Government? Interesting!!!!
Australia, no soup, one year! ChinaSoupNazi
NSW Chief Health Officer 31/1/20 at 7 hour fundraiser/press conference for Chinese Media only...Arranged by NSW Health Dept...According to a spokesman the primary objective of the day was to raise money to send medical supplies to China....😉
Would’ve been smarter diplomatically for Australia to shut up until this is over
i feel sadness & disappointment for the chinese people. their leadership seems to lack self-regulation & appear to be offended in the face of frank & candid comments.
Morrison has lost out big time with China. Further verbal retaliation on his part would likely lead to further punitive import taxes. Where to now Scummo?
I think this Chinese ambassador is an embarrassing joke. Top notch loser. auspoI
China is a joke too.
And American took all the China’s markets which belongs to AU!
Confucius said: the bird that stick its head out gets the shot.
So what exactly did he do?
Given the origins of the worldwide pandemic causing virus, I don’t think China’s in a position to ridicule anyone 🙄
it was never true that '62 countries support Morrisons inquiry' which was reported by all our news services
China are acting like the bullies that they are.China attacks perhaps they are intimidated because they are worried for their future economic fallout.
It makes you want to untie all relations with China. I’m ashamed to buy anything made in China
What is it going to to take before our politicians rip up the FTA with China and the 99 year lease on bthe Darwin port.
Borrowing from a wise man 'humble words and increased preparations are signs that the enemy is about to advance. Violent language and driving forward as if to the attack are signs that he will retreat'
Australia government should expel the china ambassador back to China
Why would China support Australia version of investigation that is basically a witch hunt against them, over a comprehensive review of international response to pandemic, aka all countries to be reviewed? Interestingly America says they support Australia but won't co-sponsor it.
Stop whinging Aussies. We got used like a puppet to spout Trumps mandate & other 60 countries saw through that like stale incense... If we're gonna get involved in global politics THEN get used like a tool? Then we're gonna look like a joke. So cop it in the chin folks...
Summon the ambassador, send him back to China.
Chinese ambassador needs a better joke writer.
AnthonyCole68 Donny tiny hands put ScottyFromMarketing up to it...continues to embarrass us
Sco Mo - about time U WOKE UP ! Long overdue, to recalibrate our relationship wirh dirty, filthy Communist China. Everything that they say. Everything that they do. Is all driven by corrupt, coercive practices. ScottMorrisonMP - please ? Realign our path. China R corrupt
Oh dear. Played and outsmarted by Trump and now laughed at by the Chinese. It's not a good look for Morrison and his gang.
When will Scomo and mates learn to just shut up? First it’s “ investigate China” which is ludicrous. Then they tone down to “scientific inquiry” which is what they should have said. But then they yell “we were vindicated”. Idiots will cost us more than the virus.
I have to agree. Whatever rationale, justification Australia had, has been, to put it crudely, pissed into the wind. We really do act like a small time country with an inflated sense of self-importance.
ABC stop reporting the trash talk by the Chinese ambassador in Canberra
Why don’t you claim the never ending rorting and all the racists in your party ScottMorrisonMP? You are a joke.
It is terrible to think, there is most likely more truth from the Chinese, than our PM?!
Australian government is a joke!
We all know who the joke is. So childish.
Now one Hope's that the Liberals, Nationals & Labor parties & politicians now truly get the strong message that all that Chinese niceties, dinners, donations, trips, investments & payments all come at a high cost, that is the sovereignty of Australia. Are you guys now happy?
Ouch! He has a point. The EU motion is indeed entirely different from what the PM and his BFF Trump were advocating. Do not claim the credit for the excellent diplomatic work EU achieved.
Maybe we need a new ambassador.
We got outplayed on a political stage we have absolutely no place on. The fact that not only are the allegations of dumping accurate (appeal would be -ive), but the US has now swooped and agreed to supply our quota of barley to China. This literally couldn't have gone worse
Thanks for that, I very nearly just now bought something from Ali Express. This reminds me to either not buy at all, or find Australian made. Everything from that site is cheaply made, flimsy old tat anyway.
ccp lies
So why is the banner on TV news currently saying 'Xi Jinping supports Australia's call for a reviews of the origins of COVID19' ? That's just supporting Morrison & not the facts. China has supported the European WHA. Give credit where its due ABCTV auspol
US ranked No1 in world economy in the world, CN ranked No2 in the world. Why US ask AU (No13) to lead this all, and Why CN not thinking it’s a joke if they know Morrison was just played by his Master Trump.
Heres an idea, hand back all your 'properties' in Australia, and piss off.!!!!
Are here comes , a test for our prime minister
Seize all Chinese assets to pay for the damage done to our economy. Two can play their game.
It does seem odd. Of course it is connected. They are doing exactly what they threatened us with. How long is China willing to be the bully? It’s not going to end well.
This so called ambassador from China has been imbedded here to cause trouble. We need to ignore him and let him enjoy his time in the limelight, and hopefully the barking dog will be eventually sent home.
Ouch! He has a point though. The EU motion China backed, is entirely different with what Scomo and his BFF Trump tried to weaponise and politicilise. Scomo claims credit for something pretty much nothing to do with him.
Sounds diplomatic 🤦
They’re really pissed off. Because we didn’t help face-save? Jayzus.
After derailing the world economy, and killing hundreds of thousands with a pandemic it could have contained, the only joke is the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party. It has lost all face with the international community.
So the 80% Tariff China? 😂😂
ScottMorrisonMP your a joke should be shamed by that
This is not a trade war it's proof of how China now absolutely dominates Aus financially. There're letting us know whos boss. If China place tariffs on a couple more of our exports we'd be totally stuffed. This is a one way conversation, our 'leaders' are just by standers.
If they aren't scared of America why the hell does Australia think they worry them? China are cnuts but you all knew this before you sold out to them
Diversify. Take the hit. Only way to treat a bully.
WOW they seriously take Australia for granted and now treat us us in a similar vain to Taiwan. The government really need to fix this massive hole they’ve dug for themselves and all Australians.
They're getting really nasty now, aren't they!
About time Wally Wuhan was sent home
Sad life.
China ridicules the world by lying about WuhanVirus
WHO is a joke and China should be Ashamed.
This is not the behaviour of a diplomat. Surely Beijing can be asked to replace this embarrassment of an ambassador.
Alright, it’s a joke. Let’s open an embassy at Taipei then.
'Australia was the first country to call for an inquiry, a move which sparked a diplomatic row with China.' Not true. Many people had called for an inquiry. Then Trump called for an inquiry to cover his fat ass and Scummo made it official to please his BFF. cc bruce_haigh
Childish
Who is this person and why are they in Australia? What does the Chinese government hope to achieve by these comments? Are they trying to use Australia as a example to silence and threaten other countries. Am concerned by this bully behaviour
Made it very hard for your Australian citizens haven't you. Nasty, unpleasant and dishonest.
So here's your chance ABC as our national broadcaster get behind our government & support them positively against this tyrannical violent regime.
Seriously if they’re going to ridicule everything we do how can we be involved with them
