Countries should be "asking for reparations” from China after its insistence coronavirus posed no danger to the rest of the world says Sky News host Rowan Dean.

“The damages done to the world by the Chinese cover up … is running into the trillions of dollars,” he said.

Mr Dean's comments come in light of recent revelations of Australian-based Chinese companies buying pallets-worth of medical supplies like masks, hazmat suits, and gloves to be sent over to China in January and February.

Mr Dean said these supplies are “the sort of stuff we desperately need now but don’t have because they bought it all up and took it back to China”.

He told Sky News host Peta Credlin China basically “treats us like a shopping mall” with Chinese companies stripping away “whatever it wants (to) take it back home”.
