Sky News host Caleb Bond discusses the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade rebuking an extraordinary tirade by China’s Ambassador to Australia Xiao Qian. “He submitted an opinion piece to the Nine papers earlier this week accusing ASIO of making up claims of espionage and foreign interference,” he said. “I think DFAT could and should have gone further ... but this is the problem for the government, they’re trying to walk the tightrope between dealing with a Communist country that they know would crush us given the chance but also trying to suck up to them for trade. “ASIO is very clear on the threat of China, but the government itself seems to be a little more reticent to call it as it is.”
