The Chinese artist behind the fake image depicting an Australian soldier slitting the throat of an Afghan child has warned he’ll create another image following Prime Minister Scott Morrison’s calls for an apology.

Wuheqilin, a renowned ‘wolf warrior’ style artist with more than 600,000 followers on Twitter-like site Weibo, has responded to the uproar in the wake of his picture being shared by China’s foreign ministry spokesperson Zho Lijian on Monday.

At the end of his video he criticised the prime minister for targeting him and said there could be further illustrations to come.

“If I’m not too tired tonight maybe I’ll make another drawing,” he said.

The term ‘wolf warrior’ used for Wuheqilin and similar artists derives from the Communist Party of China’s growing tendency to use ‘wolf warrior diplomacy’.

The tactic sees officials proactively condemning any criticism of China in an aggressive manner, often on social media.

The name ‘wolf warrior’ comes from two Chinese blockbuster action films of the same name, the first released in 2015 and features Rambo-like protagonists defending the interests of China across the globe.

in the meantime we should play china's own game
move it's industrial capacity from under it
and then bring it under international environmental and competition standards

If Australia buckles under Chinese pressure, it will send a terrible message

All Western countries must form a united front against China's aggression

If you want to do your bit for Western values, it's time to crack open a bottle

When your closest friends are being bullied for standing up for the values you share with them, it is right to do everything possible to stand up for them. And when they are paying a price for defending the truth, it is right to stand with them.

Australia is the canary in the coalmine for the free world. In recent months it has provoked the furious wrath of the Chinese Communist Party regime simply because the Australian government demanded an international inquiry into the causes of the pandemic. In and of itself, Beijing’s fury indicates Xi Jinping’s regime has something to hide.

Since then Australia has spoken against the destruction of Hong Kong’s freedoms, extending a lifeline to Hongkongers who wish to leave the city, suspending its extradition treaty with Hong Kong and signing on to several joint statements with Britain’s Foreign Secretary and other governments in the Five Eyes security alliance.
