An "argument" with China

or simply a request for the Chinese Communist Party officials to act like responsible citizens? 
I can only suppose that those opposed to an investigation into the virus that has laid low the world have some economic interest in doing so. Why else would you want to deny the rest of the world potentially life saving  information? Why would you want to prevent people from discovering something that might prevent this from happening again?
It is because we ask questions that we have things like anaesthetics and antibiotics and blood transfusions and vaccines and so much more. If we can get a vaccine for the Covid19 virus the world will be a safer place. To do that we need to understand what it is, where it came from and much more. Is there really something wrong with that.
One of our "philanthropist" billionaires in Downunder recently hijacked a press conference where he was showing off his acquisition of ten million Covid19 tests from China. No, he isn't giving them away. While he "won't make a profit from them" he expects to be paid for them. He will expect to be paid for them in other ways as well.
What is more he had a Chinese diplomat with him as a warning that Downunder is not permitted to "argue" with the Chinese over the source of the virus. Apparently we aren't allowed to investigate it at all. 
Really? It is the very thing we should be doing.  
This billionaire is trying to dictate to the government what should and should not be done. His mining interests have suffered severely  in the current crisis. For him it is vital to see China's economy surge again. China will need iron ore and coal and more from Downunder. He sees a return to the good times  if this happens - the good times for himself   
I have long argued that  the Downunder economy is far too China and Asia focussed.  I have always said we are not "part of the Asian region". If anything we are a Pacific country but, more specifically, we are European style country in the Pacific. Yes our northern neighbour Indonesia is a south Asian country but we are not Asian. The pretence that we are has been holding back our economy for  years. It's the easy way out. If we took any other approach we would have to greatly increase our presence in Europe, Africa, the Middle East and South America. We would need to increase our language capacity many times over. 
While other countries, including those in "the Asian region" (and most particularly China) were busy entering those areas. We remained focussed on Asia, attempting to become "family" instead of good neighbours. It may be too late now - or perhaps we have been given a second chance because of the virus. We will need to really work at it if we have.
