The y are both hypocrites.
Rudd is a bit of a two faced. On the outside people view him as China insider and dove or something like that, ,speaks the language quite well for an anglo person, been in Beijing as diplomat but wiki leaks and reports also showed him to tell Hilary Clinton to prepare for war with China, and was verbally abusive on Chinese official behind the scenes.
And from that barwick interview, I learnt Turnbull hired John garnaut as his advisor for China affairs, this guy is big anti China propagandaist. When he was a reporter for SMH based in China, he would write smear articles after articles. He even smeared a Chinese Australian philanthropist for being under Beijing control. Was sued for slander and found guilty, and his journalistic integrity totally tanked. After that not surprisingly he worked for a think tank before the government gig.
Not too mention Turnbull was one of the first to ban Huawei, and even cojoled UK to do the same. Not totally related but His son who married a Chinese woman is alao anti China.
Both guys are assholes and only now after office they try to act rational.
