China’s great civilisation is now ‘in the hands of thugs and gangsters’: Bolt | Sky News Australia

Mr Bolt said, “this war with China looks like getting worse” as the communist regime “seems determined to punish us for daring to call for an independent inquiry” into the origins of COVID-19. He said Bloomberg Media are reporting Chinese officials may have other Australian industries in their sights to boycott in the future, following the regime’s recent tariff inflicted on some Australian barley suppliers.

China 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 inflamed trade tensions between the two nations. Beijing 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.

lyn_henning China does not mind if their policies starve or kill their people. They have lots to spare. I pray for the Chinese people.

Australia is America's watchdog🐶😂😂.

So many embedded relative clauses in that tweet...what was the point again? Oh...Andrew Bolt. Forgive me.

Great job Andrew! You read what someone else has reported on, and decided to tell others about it! Keep up the excellent work. Your best ever.

Ummm, don't we grow our own fruit and have fisherman in this country? Maybe Australians would then be able to buy their own locally caught seafood and fruit instead of the majority of our quality food going overseas and we having to buy overseas sub standard seafood and food

Andrew Bolt reporting on what other media outlets have said - such fantastic journalism

Please add live export.

So much for China following the strategies of Sun Tzu. I mean, these guys are making enemies.

Meanwhile the US will fill the gaps opened. Well done Australia.

Doubting the seafood being there

So? Why doesn’t the exporters & the Oz government get on the road & look for new markets? China don’t want our products it’s their loss.

Great source...Bloomberg US!!!

Can we ask the Chinese to also stop buying our politicans.

We will not

ozrevive Their loss.

The UN predicts food shortages. Give it time, they’ll beg or invade to resecure food in the future!

call their bluff

If China is taking this approach, we need to select specific exports and return the favour, provided that action causes maximum pain, if not it's back to negotiation. No point shooting yourself in the foot.

How can he “reveal” something that a major US news network that millions of people have access to has published? Is he the only person in the world to have read the story? Is it this one?

A very important read for all who oppose authoritarian rule. COVIDー19

Of course they 'have a list' of things they might possible ban... it would be a list of all the things they currently buy & could stop purchasing in the future. How is that in any way bloody surprising?

Bolt - you sound like Trump!!! China is going to do what is in its best interests

Well the “fruit” won’t be cherries as they own Tasmania’s cherry farms.

Good! Let them do that! And we will take back everything that we sold to them without asking them! Fck them again!

People wanting us to stop trading with China means thousands of Aussies losing their jobs.

Fuk em

Great news

Ban away. You've got 1.5 billion people to feed, or are you happy to end up like North Korea

Don't put all your eggs in the one basket, if you're in any kind of business this always applies.

Good we can sell it to more profitable markets

One thing I don’t understand.. Doesn’t Australia have a free trade agreement with China? How are they able to just lob increased tariffs on certain products and not break the agreement

Almost EVERY Western nation is demanding answers and are voicing their outrage at the loss & destruction China has caused. I don’t know why the Australian media are making this just an Australian thing.

Bullyboy tactics from China. What are they hiding? It's perfectly reasonable for the world to expect an impartial investigation into what happened in Wuhan.

BoycottChina

Let's just cut China out as much as we can. Big businesses are already in talks to look at getting started with what they can do China need to realise they are not the only country Australia can export to. The threats to Australia are shocking

everyone wonders why Hanson’s poll to ban exporting baby milk to China had 93% Anonymous votes saying America’s dogs didn’t want to trade with China. we want to source from friendly allies! I think she’s volatile like trump! But disgusting in gov sellouts take back our assets!

If China is going 2 b doing that we should take back Darwin Port our land diary products water etc etc

Hope it’s the powdered milk they’re going to ban,weren’t the Chinese makers cutting their baby formula with melamine.

CCPVirus

I bet it doesn't include baby formula or vitamin supplements!

All the better to boycott. This is ridiculous. Bullies. We can find business elsewhere surely...and we should cease buying their cheap poor quality c..p....oh let's hope the government grow some.balls and stop trading and dealing as well....

Hey China get your baby formula from somewhere else then,Aussie government should put a 95% export tariff on it

Communist Party will destroy Australia by buying company land media and weak party of Australia But the people of Australia don't mind People's internal nationalism is over for Australia, Australia has become a new generation traitor and a devotee of China

So last week it was outrage over buying china This week it's outrage over China not buying What is it you actually want?

YOU CAN SELECT AMERICAN OR CHINA. WE DO NOT MIND TO TRADE WITH AUSTRALIA

What else is new?

Example of economic bully tactics from empowered CCP, WHO, purposely released CCPvirus on the world to do just this to other economies they affected/infected with the CCPVIRUS! CCP Problem... The weather, they bail on AG, don't sell them any this year from any affected country.

They’ve found another cave to eat from?

Follow the US blindly because getting on a warpath with China makes us safer 🤦🏼‍♂️ Morons.

Surprising China doesn't feel stupid targets little ol Australia. Then again bullies are like that.

Please can you do a story on & talk publically about the cruel dog animal trade in China & Asia. Animals kept in dirty conditions, locked in cages. This is part of the COVID-19 issue. Dogs & animals SKINNED literally ALIVE for their meat & fur. Yelping in pain. Help end this.

Sky News badly wants to see an awful sino-AU relationship and it's working hard on this these days. Fortunately, most of its followers knows little about China and loves buying its bullshit.

Time to put all efforts into new trade deals with other countries. If we have to change and adapt what we do then so be it. Would we just ignore what Hitler was doing if it affected our trade $?

Give Chinese some face, they will appreciate. You keep slapping their face and left them no choice, they will fight back

Lol could say the same about sky news

🙄 Bolt

Thank God. Bring it on. Time to move on from Communist China. Australia & Australians are resilient. The time is now with the downturn to do it & get trade deals with the rest of the world.

You can't have your cake and eat it. It will be a lesson Australia will never forget. To understand where you are standing..... Australia is a tiger but China has grown into a elephant.

Your article is shit

Less business we do with them the better

The global marketplace has many opportunities, China is not a priority anymore. Trading with a juvenile govt is not worth the efforts in diplomacy !

Same Bolt downplayed Covid 19 as left wing alarmism. Now he advocates for a trade war with our biggest customer of minerals, produce , tourism & education etc. No regard to the people who make a livelihood in these industries.

Stuff China 🇨🇳 more food for us Australians. australiafirst 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

Fuck the CCP

..............and guess who supplies more than 50% of the world export market for iron ore?

Excellent! Let's see, a 0.5% tax on iron ore will take care of the $600m barley crop. Let's go from there, bring it on! Need to remember the old saying: when you owe a small amount to a bank, the bank owns you. When you owe a large amount to the bank, you own the bank.

Let them buy sub standard products from other nations see how their rich like eating garbage. Better to be poor and free

FK China

ANY AUSTRALIAN exporting to CHINA needs to find other MARKETS ASAP Once, they find new markets, NEVER EVER export to CHINA WHAT GOES AROUND, COMES AROUND!!! Auspol

What do China have to hide They are GUILTY. China started the ChinaVirus ChinaLiedPeopleDied CutChinaOff

More seafood for the Australians they can eat all their crap fish from over there.

Andrew's retirement fund getting bigger.

A list of Australia’s vulnerable industries was put in their newspaper. So there’s no doubt they’re thinking of targeting others but tonight Craig Kelly mentioned one of theirs that we should target: solar panels. We subsidise them to the hilt & it’s costing us billions a year

They mean oatmeal heads and fruit loops like bolt.

Can some one please let Julian Assange out of Belmarsh for 2 weeks so we can get some real info..

Since when are they forced to buy our products ? The entire notion doesn’t make any sense. If they don’t need it then why is it immoral for them not to buy it ?

I have stopped buying Chinese products when shopping in Coles. Buying Australian now

What happened to working with our allies. The West must cut it's loses with China. Agenda 21 is over. Bring back the middle class, and support small business. ChinaMustPay

Be interesting to see how much baby formula china encourages as a boycott of consumer goods , or Iron Ore 🤔

Riding our luck coming to an end. We are not victims because we have allowed this to happen. Time to get real experienced leaders (not captured or corrupt) with real productive plans to execute in leadership. That is not Twiggy, King, Nev, Stokes, transurban or any of the current

Take back the port!!!!

China's communist party has always been an immoral thug. What is new?

I guess it doesn't include baby formula

oz_jacko Good as is should be, look after yourself (Aust) before you look after the neighbour (china). They can eat shit as far as im concerned, oh wait they do!

Convicted racist Andrew Bolt. ftfy

Oz Government should subsidise our food, I’d be happy to eat more lobster 🦞 to make up the Chinese deficit

Yer really are getting BiotchSlapped now FAustralians YeahBrohamski Disillu31110791 nickbarnesaus nick_thyme ozcrimenews 🔥🔥🔥🐲 Chinese Medicine for DunningKrugerVirus of TimWilsonMP 🐷🐷🐷👹😤🤮🦠🐒👇👇👇

Andrew Bolt the climate scientist?!

I am amazed at how a supposedly intelligent person can come out with this sort of nonsense. The whole thing started with ScoMo and PeterDutton poking the panda to try to claw back some Bogan votes from One Nation. And look what happened.
