Chinese newspaper claims Australia becoming ‘poor white trash of Asia’

A mouthpiece for Beijing has taken a furious jab at Canberra calling Australians “poor white trash” and darkly warning there will be “consequences” if we don’t play nice with China.

This morning stories about Australia appeared five times on the front page of the Global Times, a news website heavily aligned with the Chinese Communist Party. None of them were complimentary.

Despite the insults and threats, the editorials claim China is being reasonable and it is Australia that is out of line.

Yet, not one of the stories addressed the issue of an Australian news reader who, it has emerged, has been detained by police in China since mid-August.
