Australian Defence Minister Peter Dutton rebuked as “comical” the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)’s warning that Australia should refrain from doing anything “destructive” to the Australia–China relationship.

Dutton described the comments of the CCP’s acting Ambassador to Australia Wang Xining as “so silly it’s funny.”
