This morning I'm reading US news taunting how Singles Day is losing its mojo because Alibaba didn't put on a show like they do every year.

Good article explaining how Alibaba changed in order to align with goverment's interests

Celebrities out, fan culture out, rural products in, green products in

Also with the new anti-monopoly regulations, more competitors have risen

Don't. They vote for the government.

Australia's media blitz ( Murdoch media spearheaded) is focused on trying to project China's power shortage as due to ban on Australian Coal. If they are importing Coking coal and not thermal coal then how can Australia insist that the shortage is due to the ban ?

Also, wouldn't the administration in China be aware of energy demands ( annual and seasonal) while placing the ban? The media is yet again engaging in a "China collapse and CCP bad" ritual. And then the public wonder why China doesn't fall face first.

The Victoria state government wanted to join the Belt and Road but got a hard reject from the central government. I don't think that the population of key mining states can determine the outcome of Australian governmental policies.
