A good and informative and ..... non bias analysis from Stan the man. I would just pick an issue with him. He said OZ is a middle power. I would class France, the U.K. as a middle power. OZ at best is a lower middle power.

However, still a fair analysis. Particularly when he said we have to choose a side, and that was made when Trump declared China as a strategic rival back in 2017.

Now where's that @gadgetcool5 when you want him. He don't take what we said, and blame China for starting this. Well, come and watch this white guy said differently.
Stan is of Australian aboriginal heritage. Worked for CNN at one point if my memory serves me right, based in HK.

China's domestic needs can easily be fulfilled by Brazil. China will not shoot itself by banning Iron ore import. She can just pass the cost of iron ore to final exported products.

That is not accurate.

If you look at the production volumes from Brazil and Australia, you can see Chinese domestic needs surpass what Brazil can provide.

Agreed. All them slums in India, Brazil etc. China got this one right. The Hukou system kept them all at bay. Also, the rural villages are a form of social security. When things turn downwards. The workers simply melt back to their villages until things pick up again.

It is a success story. But the west trying to paint it as "freedom" BS. trying to paint China as against freedom. The truth is, they want to see the slums and shanty towns in China, so they can take photos of China's shanty town, and portraits it as another commies failure.

China does have slums. They are called 城中村. You don't see a lot of them because the Chinese government is good at settling the occupants at subsidized housing
 
That is not accurate.

If you look at the production volumes from Brazil and Australia, you can see Chinese domestic needs surpass what Brazil can provide.

You are looking at this from simplistic view. If you exclude the iron export in form of net steel export from China, Brazil should meet China's domestic needs.

Any economy guru's opinion on the sudden decline of China's foreign lending?
China’s Policy Banks Are Lending Differently, Not Less
How Chinese policy and commercial banks are behaving operationally in their foreign lending activities is shifting, but not necessarily diminishing

The loan books of the future will be more heavily weighted to Chinese enterprises operating in host economies and host economy state-owned enterprises (SOEs).

From a trained academic and geopolitical risk analyst for 30 years. Analyzing China-OZ trade feud.

  • -... 2 in 5 foreign trade-related Jobs are dependent on trade with China (1,021,912 jobs approximately)...
  • -...He is conveniently distancing himself from any responsibility for the economic fall-out with China, despite making it clear that Australia will not trade its values to justify why his government will not back down on its position regarding the South China Sea, Hong Kong, Xinjiang, and Taiwan...
  • -It is rather a stretch for Morrison to claim the moral high ground with China when many of our other trading partners are not particularly the epitome of democracy, nor do they have spotless human rights records.
  • -The number of our trading partners that are worse than China in terms of Human Rights and Economic Freedom comprises 80 countries according to the conservative Heritage Foundation

    . So, if we are trading with all those countries that are worse than China, then are we NOT trading our values with them?..
