China can be a democracy: Scott Morrison

Former Prime Minister Scott Morrison has dismissed the idea that China is unable to become a multiparty democracy, saying there is no “anti-democratic” instinct in the Chinese people.

Mr Morrison said the Chinese people “care just as much about freedom as we do” but “sadly in mainland China they don’t have the opportunity for it.” The former PM was a guest on the Diving Deep podcast hosted by Olympic athlete Sam Fricker.
