Hong Kong - 'This is going to get ugly': Hong Kong's political freedom is 'finished': Sky News Australia 438K subscribers

RMIT University Professor Joe Siracusa says “there’s no doubt about it, Hong Kong is finished”. 

A proposal by the Chinese Communist Party to impose national security laws on Hong Kong is the most significant attempt yet to enforce the mainland's will on the international city. 

“These national security laws finish off the political freedoms the people in Hong Kong have,” he told Sky News. 

“Hong Kong in terms of political freedom is dead man walking, they’re finished and they know they’re finished.” 

Professor Siracusa said the US and Australia “should be thinking about whether we open our borders to Hong Kong refugees” because “this is going to get ugly”.

China - Evidence mounts COVID-19 came from a lab in Wuhan: Sky news Australia

Sky News host Andrew Bolt says claims coronavirus came from a Wuhan exotic animal market were beginning to fall apart with a Chinese academic pointing the finger at dangerous virology labs. 

A scholar from the South China University of Technology wrote a report casting doubt on the claim revealing “bat was never a food source in Wuhan” and bat was never sold at the infamous wet market. 

Instead, the author theorised that “a nearby laboratory just 300 metres from the market” was responsible for the outbreak. He said a researcher who worked coronaviruses and bats was quarantined for 14 days after being splashed with infected blood and urine. 

The scholar has since withdrawn his paper, a decision Mr Bolt said may have been due to pressure “to shut up” from Chinese leadership. 

Mr Bolt also revealed on his show that another nearby lab, the Wuhan Institute of Virology, bragged about discovering and identifying “a large number of new bat and rodent viruses” in a job ad posted in 2019.
