For our American mates, Australia and China have been in a trade war for 2020 with it looking to continue into 2021.

They hit us with huge tariffs on barley and wine. Banned lobster and coal imports (while China is facing power shortages with 10's of millions freezing kek).

Apparently it is bad for our PM to call for an inquiry on the origins of the kong flu and banning huawei.

Not individually but the impacts will start to be felt from the multitude of bans.

We'll weather the storm though and it seems their plans are backfiring. We have an ace up our sleave in iron ore, we supply them 60% of the iron ore they use and it's high grade rocks just like our coal btw. If it escalates further we could up the price or cut them off that would absolutely cripple their entire country within a few weeks.

But if you folks don't hold the line on keeping trump there we'll be fighting with Beijing Biden and the demorats in our corner and a knife in our back I'm sure.
