Chinese state media says shock federal election victory will impact China-Australia relations
ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) ^ | 20th May 2019

China's state-owned media outlet Global Times has released an editorial saying it is "far from optimistic again" about Chinese-Australian relations after Prime Minister Scott Morrison's unexpected election win.

In an editorial posted to the newspaper's official WeChat account just after midnight following the election, the newspaper said Chinese people were concerned about the impact Mr Morrison's election would have on foreign relations.

"This election result also means that China-Australia relations, which have deteriorated in recent years under the leadership of the ruling Coalition formed by the Australian Liberal Party and the National Party, will continue to have uncertain prospects," the editorial read.

"According to the statements made by the Australian media and some Labor Party politicians before the election, it seemed that if the Labor Party wins the election, the party will bring some positive changes to the China-Australia relations."

The editorial pointed to comments from former prime minister and Labor leader Paul Keating, who said Australia's spy chiefs are "nutters" who should be sacked in order to improve relations with China.

"Paul Keating, the former prime minister of the Labor Party who used to be friendly to China, publicly urged the Labor Party to expel the head of ASIO immediately, after the party wins the election. He said that the madman had destroyed the China-Australian relations," the editorial read.

Chicoms love the lefties. No surprise, I suppose.

China running scared. No longer is the West an easy target to be fooled over and over and over again to their heart’s delight. It will rock the Chinese leadership to the core and may start an internal revolution.

The way China has been taking it up the backside lately I have to wonder if xi will be sitting on his next visit to the states or if he will opt to just stand?

Pity the Chinese waited till now to pipe up. The Liberal Party could have done with a few more seats.

Perhaps the Left can come up with another sting to undermine the election.
Austria looks to be working well (Russia)
The United States though looks to be tougher to crack.

This is what the future would look like in a China-controlled world. This blatant attempt to influence domestic elections cannot stand.

Guess this means they’ll have to push up the invasion schedule.

"Unexpected!"

Because of the polls?

Polls don't win elections, people do.

And if China's state-owned media is "far from optimistic" then I know the right candidate won.

It must suck when you buy the losing politician. Kinda like Hillary. They lost big on that bet too. Although the Clinton’s really did earn their bribes for many years.

The Red Chinese are already dissing Morrison, so he must be really good for Australia.

Oh they loved Kevin Rudd when he spoke Chinese to them. The Chinese have been misbehaving for quite some time in the South China Sea and seem keen to spread throughout the Pacific. You can’t be friends with people who are acting like a..holes in your own backyard

I think this is what made Wenny Pong go cranky. The voters of Chinese ethnicity in Australia are conservative. What else can the loony left do but stir the pot?

interesting to see that the Chinese community there tends to be conservative. The same is generally true in the USA simnplky because they tend to be entrepreneurs as an ethnic group, with children who are high achievers academically. ( Obama excluded Jews and Chinese from his minority and ethnic socialist hegemony, they just were not pliable enough. It will be the saame with Australia’s Labor party.)

Interesting parallels.

Australia is very important to the USA’s future trade policy with Red China. (The USA is closely watching what Australian policy will be under the Morrison government.)
