An Australian appeals to his government to practice common sense when relating with China:
AUSTRALIA, STOP BARKING!
By David Scheer
If Australia enters a full scale trade-war with China, Australia will be dead in the water. Nothing we sell cannot be sourced elsewhere. There are alternatives for everything we sell.
1. China: $135 billion (33% of total Australian exports)
2. Japan: $36 billion (9%)
3. South Korea: $21 billion (5%)
4. United Kingdom: $16 billion (3.8%)
5. United States: $15 billion (3.7%)

We bark when the USA tells us to do so. Do you really think the USA, a dying empire, will pick up $120 billion of our exports, and what other country can? Our politicians should look after Australians and stop the stupid and senseless China bashing…. Australia IS an integral part of South East Asia like it or not, just look at a map.
After Australian government support for Trump in his war against China we receive our payback today. Trump puts thousands of Australian jobs at risk with F-35 jet threat to China.

XXX, you raise a good point and in a perfect world!.... but it is run by humans and like me if someone pisses me off in a shop I will just go somewhere else to buy.
Now, Huawei makes the best 5G technology in the world but we don't buy it simply because the USA tells us not to. Huawei has even supplied the source code of the technology and it was investigated in Europe and shown to have no spyware, hardware or software. It is also the least expensive 5G technology available but we still don't buy it so why expect China to buy our produce?
USA has just made a new trade deal with China. In that deal America did not think China can only eat so much beef and have other suppliers. They just said you have to buy x amount from USA meaning x amount less from Australia.
We have just deployed a warship to support USA over islands dispute that is going through the international court system - leave it to that.
Hong Kong which is so obviously a part of China leased to Britain for 99 years in return for Britain to stop supplying opium to the Chinese and drugging them but we are in there in complicit with the USA to try destabilize China again. Get your map out and look where Hong Kong is.
Covid-19 - Australia supporting USA for independent inquiry. This is already being done by WHO. Why the need for another American led inquiry which so obviously has an agenda…investigate WHO if you think they are doing a bad job.
Now the worst part - the world is going into a massive depression. Less of everything will be needed and I have no idea what markets can pick up $135 billion of produce from Australia that China used to buy.
China has never told us to jump off a cliff, they are simply telling us to stop barking or they will shut the door on us for some peace and quiet.
Australia should declare itself neutral rather than be a bark dog of the USA only with everything to lose.
