The 50-cent army is out in force in the comments at the story online. Beijing unleashes them whenever they think what they’re doing is — like this arresting a 90- year old Cardinal — a bit dodgy and likely not viewed well outside the communist party. So unleash the paid trolls! (And also any time it’s China-Oz relations, they get let out to smear Australia).
Curse them! Some of the things they say are outright racist.
