Fat Pig angmoh are the best. Sore over business deal with China now start name calling?
Tua-piu-sia peh-pay skin some more want to lead his cuntry.
Clive Palmer has been condemned by senior Abbott government ministers, the federal opposition and business groups for labelling the Chinese government ''mongrels'' who ''shoot their own people''.
China has also lashed the statements, branding Mr Palmer as ''absurd''.
"The words of Mr Clive Palmer MP are absurd and irresponsible, which are full of ignorance and prejudice,'' the Chinese embassy in Canberra said in a terse statement.

''We believe that a sound China-Australian relationship serves the fundamental interests of both countries. It is and will always be supported by the two peoples."
Treasurer Joe Hockey, Foreign Minister Julie Bishop, Trade Minister Andrew Robb and Agriculture Minister Barnaby Joyce all criticised Mr Palmer's comments on ABC TV's Q&A program on Monday night.
Mr Hockey said Mr Palmer's outburst was potentially ''hugely damaging'' to Australia's relationship with China.
''He is the big beneficiary of a Chinese investment partner; someone that has paid to help him to develop his resources. Now, he is in a very obvious legal dispute with his Chinese partners, but I would say to Mr Palmer, please do not bring down the rest of Australia because of your biases,'' he said.
But an unapologetic PUP leader refused to back down later on Tuesday, tweeting that he had ''not intended to refer to Chinese people'' but to CITIC Pacific in particular, the company he is in dispute with. ''They [China] have a national policy to acquire resources and they do it in a ruthless manner,'' he told Fairfax radio.
Australian Industry Group chief executive Innes Willox condemned the ''ill-considered and inappropriate statements'' and added they were ''a new low in the political debate''.
But two of Mr Palmer's senators leapt to his defence, with Senator Jacqui Lambie warning Australia risked becoming ''slaves to an aggressive, anti-democratic, totalitarian foreign power''.
''I strongly support the general point that Clive made about communist China's military capacity and threat to Australia. If anybody thinks that we should have a national security and defence policy which ignores the threat of a Chinese Communist invasion - they're delusional and got rocks in your head.'
