BEIJING (Bloomberg): Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison demanded that Beijing apologise for a provocative tweet depicting one of his country's troops holding a bloody knife to an Afghan child's throat.

Instead, the Chinese Foreign Ministry's top spokesman Hua Chunying shot back, asking whether Morrison lacks "a sense of right and wrong".
