The Communist government of China is now threatening economic retaliation if Australia, a key U.S. ally in the Pacific, continues its investigation into China’s early handling of the coronavirus.

The Hill reports:

Chinese officials are threatening economic consequences if Australia moves ahead with an investigation into Beijing’s early handling of the coronavirus outbreak, Australian Sky News reported on Monday.

Chinese Ambassador to Australia Cheng Jingye said Beijing could encourage Chinese citizens to boycott Australian exports and products if Australia was to initiate the probe, the news outlet reported.

Australian Foreign Minister Marise Payne called the Chinese threats “economic coercion” and repeated calls for an investigation into the early handling of the outbreak, which is thought to have originated in the Chinese city of Wuhan.

“Australia has made a principled call for an independent review of the COVID-19 outbreak, an unprecedented global crisis with severe health, economic and social impacts,” she reportedly said. “We reject any suggestion that economic coercion is an appropriate response to a call for such an assessment, when what we need is global co-operation.”

Authorities in the U.S. have repeatedly accused China of attempting to cover up the true severity and extent of the coronavirus when it first broke out in the city of Wuhan.

IT IS THEY THAT SHOULD BE THREATENED FOR NOT UNDERSTANDING HOW WE FEEL BEING INFECTED WITH THEIR DAMN VIRUS. YES THEY NEED TO PAY.!!!!

  2. Does China believe they can cause economic coercion to the plant as a whole? Who are they to attempt to bully all the continents that have experienced the Chinese Virus and economic closure and many deaths? It’s time we (the world) ban together and make them accountable! It’s time we bring all the worlds manufacturing back to the associated country. This has gone on long enough, it’s time we call the shots. China will go the way of dinosaur, just as the USSR went. Communism is slowly fading on our planet.

  5. The China economy was already in trouble before the virus…Trump really stuck it to China with the tariffs and the new trade deals …and China did not like it at all…that’s why they started this corona virus so it would infect the USA and all the other countries and ruin their economies….now, we must make them pay for all the deaths they have caused because I believe, it was done deliberately…Trump will do what needs to be done…

  6. Well the blame goes to the spineless corrupt politicians that have kissed China’s ass for the last 20 years and the only person to do anything about it is Trump so FU China and FU DemonRatz

  7. Yes, I believe Communist China deliberately let this out of a Lab which they threatened their own people to silence! This was created in a Bio Lab and yes because of the way they handled the info gave it to innocent people a World Wide which should NOW be considered Biological Warfare and should PAY the Price!! Many people have perished & their Families couldn’t even have a Respectful burial!! Not to mention the hard working People who have suffered tremendous financial loss, the suicides, & alcoholism! CHINA, GOD IN HEAVEN SEES THE BLOOD ON YOUR HANDS!! GOD IS THE JUST JUDGE!! Woe to any on the left who have taken part in China’s attempt to ruin America during Trump’s Presidency!!!

  8. Bullies.
    A sure fired indication of their guilt. IF they were innocent, they would have nothing to fear. But as a bully of the South China Sea, they will continue to lash out. What will stop them? When a man like Trump stands up to them. And no, they don’t think he will. Must be something to do with past agreements.

  9. Chinese OWN a lot of land, are the largest foreign group of investors in U.S. Commercial real estate (19.2 BILLION in 2016 up 10% since ’15, now ?????) Interesting their largest investments are in NEW YORK and San Francisco, both flaming Liberal Democratic Progressive cities.
