Australian Prime Minister Morrison said that this photo seriously hurt the feelings of Australian soldiers and is a slander of Australian soldiers. This statement is completely nonsense. In Morrison's eyes, it may be called slander if the Chinese side said what they did. After Morrison made this statement, Zhao Lijian, the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of our country, not only did not apologize according to his request, but directly put the photo on top of his social media. Another Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Hua Chunying, even used eight rhetorical questions to question the Australian Prime Minister’s approach, and the other party was speechless.

China has called on the UN Security Council to investigate serious humanitarian crimes committed by Australian soldiers in Afghanistan. The British BBC reporter asked at a regular press conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs why China would interfere in Australia's internal affairs. If Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying directly stated that this is a human rights issue rather than an internal affair. The Australian military has committed serious crimes in Afghanistan, and there is hard evidence. Countries with a conscience should strongly condemn this. In fact, even the United States has not made a clear statement on this matter so far, and the White House also knows that the Australians are at a loss. And many Western countries have firmly supported the UN Security Council to investigate Australian crimes.

China’s response made Australia feel quite helpless. There are already many people in Australia who want to send their troops to the southern waters to do things. In this regard, some US military experts said that although the Australian military can show off in Afghanistan, their pitiful military strength is simply not worth mentioning. China is not Iran at all. If Australia wants to send its warships to the southern waters, it can only insult itself.

China’s countermeasures against Australia do not actually require military means at all. Mere financial retaliation is enough to make them uncomfortable. A few days ago, the Chinese Ministry of Commerce announced that it would impose an anti-dumping duty of up to 212% on imported red wine from Australia, and a large number of Australian lobsters and other live animals were directly detained at the customs, and they were not allowed to enter the port, causing heavy economic losses to Australia. If placed 20 years ago, Australia still had the capital to challenge China. Now it is simply a fantasy.
