Editor-at-large at The Australian Paul Kelly says China has been "successful in driving a wedge between governments in this country" as Victoria takes its own "de facto foreign policy" towards the communist state. It comes as Victorian Treasurer Tim Pallas recently defended the Belt and Road deal with China, claiming it would help Victoria out of the economic problems from the pandemic.
"China’s well established technique is this country is to try to drive a wedge between business and governments," Mr Kelly told Sky News host Peta Credlin. "And what they seem to have been successful in doing is driving a wedge between governments in this country ... because we've got the Victorian government has signed up to the belt and road initiative". "Now that is not the policy of the Morrison government".
If this is a concern for Victorians they can fix it at the next state election,before the damage is irreversible...

Australia won't retaliate against barley tariff: Littleproud | Sky News AustraliaAustralia will not retaliate against China for imposing crippling tariffs on barley imports as a “trade war benefits nobody”, Agriculture Minister David Littleproud says. \n\nChina on Monday evening announced it would follow through on a threat to slap an 80 per cent tariff on Australian barley in a move that fanned trade tensions between the two nations. \n\nBeijing claimed the tariffs had nothing to do with Canberra’s push for an inquiry into the origins of COVID-19 and instead said they were due to concerns Australian farmers were dumping barley in their market below market value.\n\nSpeaking with Sky News, Mr Littleproud said the decision was a “real kick in the guts” but insisted the Morrison Government would not retaliate. \n\n“A trade war benefits nobody. You only have to see what happened between the US and China. There is no need for a trade war, we can work through in a fair marketplace, we produce the best food and fibre in the world,” he said. \n\n“We won’t be retaliating that, that won’t advance not only agriculture, it won’t advance any of our sectors. We will keep to our principles, that is what the Australian government does.” \n\nThe government is likely to appeal the decision to the World Trade Organisation but in the meantime, the Agriculture Minister said officials were working “feverishly” to find another market for the next round of crops. \n\n“We will continue to work with the Chinese to try and get them to understand Australian farmers are not subsidised and then subsequently dump barley into their market,” he said. \n\n“That’s what we’re working feverishly on now (to find another market) ... We have got some time, we have got some barley that won’t come up until October\u002FNovember.”\n D_LittleproudMP Cuck. D_LittleproudMP Cucked. D_LittleproudMP When the USA steal Barley trade. Our Aussie Lackies do as they're told. Thanks to USA propaganda.

Australia to 'appeal, not retaliate' against China's crippling barley tariffs | Sky News AustraliaAustralia is poised to appeal a decision by China to impose 80 per cent tariffs on barley producers. \n\nChina accused Australian producers of dumping barley into its market below value – an accusation Australia vehemently denies. \n\nAustralia’s Trade Minister Simon Birmingham issued a statement saying “Australia is deeply disappointed with China’s decision” and “we reject the basis of this decision and will be assessing the details of the findings while we consider next steps”. \n\nAgriculture Minister David Littleproud said the government had no intention of retaliating with tariffs of its own, insisting Australia had no interest in a trade war. \n\nMeanwhile, China has offered its conditional support for an independent inquiry into the origins of COVID-19, insisting the review should only get underway once the pandemic was over. \n\nChinese President Xi Jinping pledged AU$3.1 billion to support the “comprehensive evaluation” of the pandemic and insisted China had “always had an open, transparent and responsible attitude'. \n\nAustralia’s Health Minister Greg Hunt said “we need to learn the lessons from this pandemic so we can ensure we have the strongest possible global health architecture with an enhanced ability to prevent and respond to future outbreaks”. \n\nImage: Getty\n Let em starve then. When they run out of food -we can LAUGH at China for being Fuckwits. Good luck with that....and ..... China has agreed to support a review into the coronavirus pandemic led by the World Health Organisation, but not the independent investigation being pushed by Australia. change crops to hemp
