china doing what it does best

Sounds like an own goal. I'd never heard of this journalist, and probably never would have if the Chinese hadn't tried to block her.

CCP members are thugs. No one should be surprised by this behavior.

Typical behaviour for Chinese diplomats. Western governments are more clever and deceitful with their silencing actions.

Footage showed two Chinese diplomats hovering next to a seated Cheng, repeatedly ignoring requests to move from animated Australian officials.

This is nothing short of a deep insult to all Australians. These so called "diplomats", invited to our friendly nation, have ignored Australian officials asking them to move, have trodden on Australian hospitality and shown just how uncivilized CCP officials really are. These two Chinese "diplomats" should be immediately expelled from Australia.

The unmitigated gall of the CCP to bring its repression to Australia is a slap in the face to everyone, and shows the complete lack of respect for Australia, its laws and its customs.

Wolf warrior diplomacy indeed.

More like gyoza-fisted thugs.

All of Australia has a population roughly equal to just Shanghai's. It is no wonder the Chinese behemoth looks down on Australia.

China's behavior and actions very often offend other nations. That they are adversarial is no secret, but the manner in which they do so displays their arrogance and "look down upon" attitude they hold for other nations.

Australia had "followed up with the Chinese embassy to express our concern".

That's all!? They should have deported the bullies on the spot and sent a message to the CCP thugs that such aggressive behaviour will never be tolerated.

All of Australia has a population roughly equal to just Shanghai's. It is no wonder the Chinese behemoth looks down on Australia.

So China considers all nations with a smaller population to be inferior? Truth comes out eventually. For the NAZI's it was having blond hair and blue eyes. For Jinping Xi's China it is about population size. Its all irrelevant, just an excuse to justify attempts to dominate others. The world will again take note of China's faults and take appropriate measures to ensure China cant do it in their country, as they did it to Australia.

Barbarians should remain in their country until they learn civilized behaviour. The CCP seems to employ too many uncivilized individuals. They make China look bad.

Australia extracts 52 percent of the world's lithium, the vast majority of it exported as ore to China for refining and use in batteries.

It is a crucial ingredient in China's world-dominant electric vehicle industry.

This is the one and only reason China is kissing but and trying to pretend they are "friends". Tossing a couple of pandas Australia's way while blasting sonar and water cannons at them in the Yellow Sea sends quite a mixed signal, doesn't it?

Red China has very little in common with Australia that the smiling Chinese premier Li Quiang claims. This is all show. The view blocking incident is the real China.

Don’t be fooled. She’s the same person who in a previous incarnation was doing the bidding of the Beijing kleptocrats.

"When you look at the footage, it was a pretty clumsy attempt, frankly, by a couple of people to stand in between where the cameras were and where Cheng Lei was sitting," he told national broadcaster ABC.

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said on Monday that Australia adheres to the one-China policy and does not support "Taiwan independence."

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said on Monday that Australia adheres to the one-China policy and does not support "Taiwan independence."

And yet the vast majority of Australian citizens Do not adhere to the so called, one China policy, but do support Taiwan's independance. An example of politics being out of step with the people for the sake of trade.
