China has found ‘another way to punish Australia’

Sky News Australia published this video item, entitled “China has found ‘another way to punish Australia’” – below is their description.

Sky News host Paul Murray says China has found another way to punish Australia for simply wanting to know how COVID-19 got out of control and killed a million people. It comes amid reports almost $700 million worth of Australian coal is being held at Chinese ports due to alleged problems with environmental standards. “There is going to be what is called economic coercion, and that is what’s happening right now,” Mr Murray said. “They eventually pick off industry after industry after industry until there’s a breaking point.” Mr Murray said China is seeking to “punish us” because Australia wanted “answers about a pandemic that’s killed a million people and destroyed economies right around the world”. “We don’t want handcuffs for President Xi or any other Chinese officials,” he said. “(But China) knew there was a problem in Wuhan, but the international flights – they kept going.”
