莫里森批评北京使用一张伪造的"令人反感"和"令人发指"的澳洲士兵割阿富汗一个小孩喉咙的图片，澳洲与中国关系跌到将近五十年最低点。
在一次使堪培拉和北京的矛盾急剧升级中，总理要求马上删除这个冒犯性的推文，呼吁这个共产主义国家重设它的进攻性态度，要"无条件地"进行对话。
由外交部副司长赵立坚发的社交媒体帖子延续了北京对澳洲越来越咄咄逼人的态度，让两国关系在1973年惠特姆建交以来达到最低点。
莫里森先生说澳方政府要北京就这个令人愤怒的帖子道歉。此前的几个月有很多贸易和外交上的威胁，还有公开了一个抱怨清单，批评澳洲打击外国干预和呼吁对新冠源头进行全球调查。
总理说:"我们也要求马上删除帖子，我方也联系了推特要马上删除这个帖子。这是一张伪造的图片，对我们伟大的国防部队和100多年来穿着这套军服服役的军人来说是可怕的毁谤"
"毫无疑问中国和澳洲存在着矛盾。但你们不应该这样处理的。澳洲在耐心地试图在领导人和部长级合作这样成熟和负责的方式解决我们关系中的矛盾，来确保我们可以坦诚地讨论关系中矛盾的来源。"
莫里森政府迅速地反驳了中国。外交及贸易部次长孙芳安召见了成竞业大使。澳洲驻华大使傅关汉也直接与北京官员表达关注。
中国外交部发言人华春莹周一晚上回应莫里森先生的道歉要求时说澳洲要向阿富汗人民道歉。
“澳方对我同事的个人推文反应如此强烈，是想说明澳大利亚有军人冷酷的杀害阿富汗无辜平民有理，但有人谴责这种冷酷罪行，反而无理了吗？阿富汗人民的命也是命。难道不是澳大利亚士兵应该感到羞耻吗？”
《澳洲人报》获悉，周一下午全国安全理事会的会议中讨论了中国这个将Brereton阿富汗报告武器化的中国虚假信息推文。
前总理霍华德和阿伯特强烈支持总理要求中国撤回和对这张伪造图片道歉的强硬态度。
反对党领袖Anthony Albanese 也在国会上说他加入莫里森先生谴责推文的行列，形容它是"没有必要的，煽动性的和很冒犯的"。
他说:"澳洲谴责这张图片是在政治之上的，我们作为一个国家来谴责它。"
澳洲人报获悉，莫里森先生在The Lodge隔离时正在与澳洲红葡萄酒出口商商议周六生效的中国关税打击时有一名员工通知他这个推文。
据说莫里森先生对这张图片感到震怒，很快在45分钟内就安排了媒体声明。
莫里森先生自从去年11月在曼谷与中国总理李克强见面后就没有再与中国高级官员有打任何交道。他说对于所有为了澳洲穿上军服的澳洲人感到骄傲。"虽然有被指的事件发生，需要采取行动，但我们已经建立诚实和透明的程序。这是一个自由，民主和开明国家会做的事情。"
高级政府官员认为这个推文是中国要激怒莫里森先生长期活动的一部分。
中国加强了对澳洲的外交和贸易行动，据了解国际领导人在过去一周私下表示力挺莫里森先生
一个高级政府知情人士说澳洲不认为中国会道歉，但莫里森政府是在保持"头脑冷静"的立场。
这名知情人士说现在中国政府在堪培拉大使馆公开14个抱怨理由和这个冒犯性推文后已经失去任何道德权威了。
在做总理时保持与中国高层有联系的霍华德先生最近重复他对莫里森政府要与中国领导人见面的建议。但他周一告诉澳洲人报说他完全支持莫里森先生要求中国道歉和撤回这张图引起问题的推特图片。
与北京成功签下贸易协议的阿伯特先生说，如果中国政府还想在这个国家受到尊重的话，他们就将命令这个发言人撤回贴子和道歉。
Australia’s relationship with China has sunk to its lowest point in almost 50 years after Scott Morrison lashed out at Beijing over its use of a “repugnant” and “appalling” fake image of an Australian soldier slitting the throat of an Afghan child.
In a dramatic escalation of tensions between Canberra and Beijing, the Prime Minister demanded China immediately remove the offensive tweet and called on the Communist nation to reset its aggressive posture and engage in dialogue “without condition”.
The social media post shared by Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs deputy director-general Zhao Lijian continued Beijing’s increased aggression against Australia and plunged diplomatic relations with Communist China to its lowest level since Gough Whitlam established ties in 1973.
Mr Morrison said the government was seeking an apology from Beijing over the “outrageous post”, which followed months of trade and diplomatic threats and the release of a list of “grievances” criticising Australia’s foreign interference crackdown and calls for a global inquiry into the origins of COVID-19.
We are also seeking (the post’s) removal immediately and have also contacted Twitter to take it down immediately,” the Prime Minister said. “It is a false image and a terrible slur on our great defence forces and the men and women who have served in that uniform for over 100 years.
“There are undoubtedly tensions that exist between China and Australia. But this is not how you deal with them. Australia has patiently sought to seek to address the tensions that exist in our relationship in a mature way, in a responsible way, by seeking engagement at both leader and ministerial level, to ensure that we can openly discuss what are clear sources of tension in this relationship.”
The Morrison government moved swiftly to rebuke China. Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade secretary Frances Adamson called in ambassador Cheng Jingye. Australia’s ambassador to China, Graham Fletcher, also communicated the government’s concerns directly with officials in Beijing.
Responding to Mr Morrison’s demand for an apology, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying on Monday night called on Australia to “apologise” to the Afghan people.
“The Australian side is reacting so strongly to my colleague’s tweet,” she said. “Does this mean they think the cruel killing of Afghan lives is justified? Afghan lives matter … shouldn’t the Australian soldiers feel ashamed?”
The Australian understands the high-level Chinese disinformation tweet, aimed at weaponising the Brereton Afghanistan report, was raised at a meeting of the national security committee of cabinet on Monday afternoon.
Former prime ministers John Howard and Tony Abbott strongly backed the Prime Minister’s hardline demand that China withdraw and apologise over the fabricated photo.
Anthony Albanese also told parliament he joined Mr Morrison in condemning the tweet, describing it as “gratuitous, inflammatory and deeply offensive”. “Australia’s condemnation of this image is above politics, and we all stand as a nation in condemning it,” the Opposition Leader said.
The Australian understands Mr Morrison had been talking with Australian wine exporters in relation to China’s tariff crackdown, which came into effect on Saturday, before he was alerted to the tweet by a staff member in isolation with him in The Lodge.
Mr Morrison was said to have been outraged by the image and moved swiftly to arrange a press statement within 45 minutes.
Mr Morrison, who has not had any engagement with senior Chinese officials since meeting Li Keqiang in Bangkok last November, said he was “extremely proud of all Australians who pull a uniform on for Australia”. “Where there are alleged events that have taken place that require action, well, we have set up the honest and transparent processes for that to take place,” he said. “That is what a free, democratic, liberal country does.”
Senior government officials believe the tweet was part of a longer-term campaign to provoke Mr Morrison.
International leaders are understood to have privately extended their support to Mr Morrison in the past week, as Beijing ramped up its diplomatic and trade actions against Australia.
A senior government source said China was not expected to apologise, but the Morrison government was retaining a “cool-headed” position. The source said the Chinese government had now lost any moral authority it believed it had following the release of its 14-point list of grievances by its Canberra embassy and the offensive tweet.
Mr Howard, who maintained high-level contact with senior Beijing figures as prime minister, recently repeated his advice for the Morrison government to develop face-to-face engagement with Chinese leaders. But on Monday he told The Australian he was “totally behind” Mr Morrison’s call for an apology and a withdrawal of the offending Twitter image.
Mr Abbott, who secured a trade deal with Beijing, said: “If the Chinese government wants to retain a modicum of respect in this country it will order its spokesman to withdraw and apologise,”

中国政府从来没有为任何事道歉过。因为他们永远伟大光荣正确。

现在的问题是你被他掐着脖子，又没有什么措施可以反制。道歉是不可能的，最好的办法就是不要让事情再激化了，冷处理就行了

自己犯了这样的罪行，也确实怨不得别人拿出来说。老老实实调查和惩罚罪犯才是对澳形象挽回的正确做法，而不是去跟别人吵架。

澳洲右派拼命跟中国搞斗争，为了什么？普世价值？崇高理想？就是把相对亲中的左派搞臭嘛，把对手抹黄抹红，自己的选票就到手了。隔山打牛，草船借箭，这招民进党玩的太溜了，关键民众很吃这套...
另一方面澳中贸易额创新高了吧，一个必需卖，一个必需买，谁也离不开谁。嘴巴上都是主义，心理全是生意，都是骗民众给自己捞政治资本…

事实上，中国现在就是把澳洲当作美国的狗腿子打。澳洲还一直在那里喊中国“不讲武德”。这一切不都是美国老师教得好吗？
既然西方世界把美国作为标准，那就不要在中国以其人之道还治其人之身时玩双标了。

这个图确实是画的，不能称为PS造假。
但是这个画的写实性很高，并不是普通意义上的政治漫画。任何人乍一眼看去都会以为是照片。
中方显然是不打算留余地了，看起来澳洲可能先于美国和中国走向全面脱钩吧。
