Companies sending Australian medical supplies to China are 'foreign agents' | Sky News AustraliaOutsiders host Rowan Dean says the Australian based companies who were 'at the beck and call of the communist government' in China are 'by definition foreign agents'.\n\nAustralian based Chinese companies were found to have sent over tons of Australian medical supplies and equipment to China throughout January and February when the coronavirus was at its peak in the communist country.\n\nMr Dean said the idea these 'Chinese companies aren't actually at the beck and call of the communist government, the communist party in China, is a falsehood'.\n\n'At the drop of the hat, all the (Chinese) government had to do was to pick up the phone and say for the next few weeks all your employees will go and do our bidding and rush around Australia buying up all their medical supplies'.\n\nMr Dean told Sky News host Andrew Bolt, if China were 'genuinely in a situation when [it] needed a helping hand' then they should have asked, because 'Australia is one of the most generous countries in the world'.\n\nImage: AP Rowan really knows their tricks! Be careful of these medias and companies funded by CCP, they are desperately promoting propaganda RIGHT NOW. Irrelevant click bait. I said that days ago. Journalists just copy others on twitter, wait a few days and write their articles using other people’s ideas. Nice.
