"We are not afraid of Chinese threats at all," he said.

Canberra, Ta. 11 June 2020, Thursday

Outraged China is trying to use trade as a weapon against Australia after Australia demanded an investigation into the Corona virus epidemic. Australian Prime Minister Scott Morris on Thursday issued a statement saying he was not afraid of Chinese threats. China has taken a number of measures over the past two months that have caused economic damage to Australia. This led Morrison to question how he would cope with the loss of exports being made by his key trading partner, China.

Australia, along with the United States and European countries, has called for an international inquiry into the spread of the corona virus around the world and voted in favor of an epidemic at the World Health Organization's annual meeting last month. Offended by this, China has been harassing Australia with constant threats. The Chinese Ministry of Education has asked Chinese students studying in Australia to reconsider their decision. Australia's education system is its fourth largest exporter.

Australia earns 26 26 billion a year from foreign students. Australia will have to bear the loss of education earnings due to the threat from China. "Australia supports the open market but we will never compromise our values ​​in response to threats from anywhere," said Scott Morrison.

China recently banned the import of beef from Australia and imposed heavy tariffs on the import of barley. Last week, China warned its citizens not to travel to Australia, citing a rise in racist attacks against Asians there.

Morris called China's warning to students and tourists ridiculous, protested in front of the Chinese Foreign Ministry and the Chinese embassy in Canberra, and assured that his country was completely safe for tourists and students.

China is Australia's largest trading partner and trades between A દર 235 billion a year. Trade between the two countries is on Australia's side and if China stops trade, Australia could suffer huge losses.
