‘Maintain your rage’ or else there will be a ‘lawless, uncontainable China’

Sky News host Graham Richardson says Australia needs to stick to its guns because “if we don’t, what you’ll find is a lawless China, a China that has absolutely no way of being contained”.

On Monday, China gave Australia an ultimatum, threatening tariffs up to 80 per cent on grain if the federal government does not respond to allegations of "barley dumping" in 10 days, in an escalation of trade tensions between the two sovereign nations.

The prime minister said a Chinese government review into the alleged ‘dumping’ of Australian barley into the Chinese market has been “going on for 18 months” and refused to link the threat with Australia’s call for an independent inquiry into the coronavirus outbreak.

Mr Richardson told Sky News host Paul Murray, Australia has to “maintain our rage on this and keep going” or else there will be a “China that can do anything it likes”.

“It will be tough and there’ll be lots of threats because we rely on them”.
