senator Kachin said China no longer abides by global trade rules.
"We need to accept the fact that while many of us hope and expect global trade to change China, it is China that change global trade. "
He accused China of covering up the severity of the epidemic when it originated in Wuhan, and unfairly punished Australia for asking to investigate the source.
