Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.The French cancelled the Mistral order with the russians, and they paid the penalty. Now they are losing this Aussie contract. It is all because of the Yankees messing around.
you have to understand why China imports from Australia: it is due to public pressure to develop Chinese internal resources as little as possible. For Chinese, the greatest era of economic shame was in the 1980s-90s when China was an oil exporter and Japan bought oil, to sell back to Chinese, as high value added plastics. It was vowed to never sell the blood (oil) and flesh (ore) of the country to foreign exploiters, and instead import and sell only high value added resources. A resource economy can never beat an industrial one in the long run. Doesn't mean should keep buying from Australia. Other trade partners are better. But never, ever go back to being a resource economy.Screw climate emmissions. China should start reopening its iron mines and reconfiguring its steel mills.
Also with coal. Reopen coal mines
As long as national security (development) is at risk then climate emmisions restrictions should be immediately trashed
China should ensure that it can produce all of these raw materials coming from Australia at home. This would also serve a good message to the world, to dont blackmail China thinking that they are safe because they are supplying China with raw materials.
Time for more imports bans from Australia
This is a very good article, I strongly suggest you to read it and spread as well:
There are POLITICAL-ECONOMIC AGENDAS driving the current PANDEMIC, not public health concerns; for one intro see this:
Discussion on propaganda and the political-economic drivers underlying the pandemic event including Prof. Fabio Vighi's recent paper:
A SELF-FULFILLING PROPHECY: SYSTEMIC COLLAPSE AND PANDEMIC SIMULATION
The above piece explains the financial stress in 2019 as mentioned slightly by the American economist, Martin Armstrong here:

They going to blame China because rich baseball owners are a bunch of cheapskates...?
The US has tried this trick at the end of Trump's time in office. China rejected it. I don't see why China would pick it up this time.
They are trying to get Meng to admit guilt and pay a fine in exchange for her being release. Seems likely another trick though... or attempt to use a guilty plea to advance another agenda
The US has tried this trick at the end of Trump's time in office. China rejected it. I don't see why China would pick it up this time.
There are two paths:
So far, China's official stand is staying out of any negotiation with US and refusing the connection of the two Canadians with Meng's case. This means that China is only going to talk to Canada alone. Only this way can Canada expect an exchange.
- As US wish, Meng admit guilt and released without China's official involvement.
- US win the "legal" and diplomatic ground.
- China loose the diplomatic ground.
- Canada further loose the Chinese favor.
- The two Canadians serve their full terms in Chinese prison because China is officially out of the loop.
- As China wish, Meng is released by Canada without admitting anything.
- China win the legal and diplomatic ground.
- Canada restore China's favor by essentially breaking away from US' orbit.
- Canada enters an uncharted water with US being troublesome.
- U.S. loose legal and diplomatic ground, and credibility of cohesion to the rest of world.
- The two Canadians released after sentencing.
If Meng take the bait (path 1), she will be socially dead in China, and forget about any career in Huawei. China is not going to pay national asset (diplomatic and prestige) for Meng to surrender to the US. What the US is doing is to exploit the personal weakness to get rid of a deadlock of useless negative asset.
