A bipartisan U.S. Congress group has slammed China for threatening punitive economic sanctions against Australia. The support follows Prime Minister Scott Morrison’s refusal to drop his call for an independent investigation into the origins of the global Chinese coronavirus pandemic.
In a letter to Australia’s U.S. Ambassador Arthur Sinodinos released by the Sydney Morning Herald, the 27 senators and House of Representatives members said China had made “deeply disturbing” threats against long-term U.S. ally Australia for seeking an inquiry into the origins of the viral outbreak first identified in the southern Chinese city of Wuhan.
Republican Senator Marco Rubio, Republican House member Liz Cheney and the co-chairs of the Friends of Australia caucus, Democrat Joe Courtney and Republican Mike Gallagher are just some of those included in the group supporting long-term ally Australia and its refusal to be bullied into silence by Beijing.
According to the Herald, Sinodinos said by way of response: “We welcome the strong affirmation from the U.S. Congress of the alliance between our two countries and support for an independent objective examination of the pandemic to provide lessons for the future.”

Whatever one says about Rubio, he seems 100% RIGHT ON about China.
One of the few, I will say that about.
Yep. On China he’s on target.
I will admit that I have not followed Rubio all the time.
Has this always been Rubio’s position on China, or has it been acquired since Trump handed him his butt back in 2016?
Sinodinos? As in sino- (chinese) and -dinos (dinosaurs)? The Australian ambassador to these US has a surname of “Chinese dinosaur”?
The Aussies need to give China the finger and mock them relentlessly.
Our “long-term ally Australia” along with the UK conspired w/Brennan to take down President Trump.
Demand our Five Eyes allies publicly clean house before we cross China on their behalf.
