Australia on fringes of civilisation: China media
Chinese media has slammed Australia, terming it as being 'on [the] fringes of civilisation', after Australian swimmer Mack Horton called China's Sun Yang a “drug cheat” over the latter's involvement in a drug scandal. Reportedly the reference was directed at Australia's early history as Britain’s offshore prison. Horton's remarks had come after he beat Sun in 400m freestyle on Saturday.
