You can't sell shit to dead people. Why would China want to kill off all of those customers?

Lived HK 12.5 years, married to a HK Chinese wife, speak slightly atrocious Cantonese, even lived with a Chinese family (the inlaws) for a while but... don't know their mentality. Yeh sure. Guess we need armchair experts like donald trump for that.For someone who has lived in the area you really don't know the mentality.
Typical chinky-style bullshit to try and deflect away from the truth. "Chinky bullying is because of USA blah blah blah" fuck off, it's because Australia said it wants a proper investigation of the chinkies coverup of the Wuhan Virus.
It is all coming out now, and they are doing their best to silence any critics and try and blame everyone else but themselves.
Not to mention slyly buying up all the worlds PPE at the time so everyone else suffered.
More specifically, chinky bullying is because of some dumbarsed aussie politicians parroting that outgoing, belligerent USA dumbarse pompousarse. Obviously magnified by the Murdoch media- which really seems to have it in for Australia. That is what kicked it off anyway, although there were several other grievances too. Such as Huawei."Chinky bullying is because of USA blah blah blah"
Yeh, that will do. Anyway, counting the cost now, just as I said would happen. Still counting....
On the bright side, some bargain wines to be had, just in the lead up to Xmas season.
Interesting thread. Been watching it daily. General observation is Austrailia is punching way above it's weight class. China is an "800-pound gorilla". A person, organization or nation so powerful that it can act without regard to the rights of others or the law.
So my Aussie mates. Grin and bear it.
"Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect,"
Absolutely
Denmark is on the receiving end these days.
Has offered asylum to Hong Kong dissidents, and then we know what happens.
I think that the chinese outbursts will be mostly ignored
The difference being, that we are NOT exporting "all" our goods to one customer
Not too bright those aussies
So my Aussie mates. Grin and bear it.
Well, it's not all bad. A lobster & champagne Christmas coming up! Prices for lobster are the lowest they've been in decades. If Australia wants to bring it's prices down, I'm quite happy to enjoy the fruits of the lucky country- while it lasts. Not a bad spot to be in SA either- HQ of the lobster, oyster & wine industry in Oz! I guess their stupidity is my Christmas cheer.
Cheap lobsters on offer for Christmas tables as prices plummet due to China import ban

The good thing is if the chinkies keep running around doing this to everyone it will encourage the victims to get together.
I have always maintained that Australia has everything to become totally self sufficient but mistakes have been made over the last 4 decades.
These mistakes, mainly the shutting down and relocation of its engineering and manufacturing industries, needs to be reversed and when that happens fuck China.
I would also suggest that Australia become a serious nuclear power and build their military to protect what every other country, mainly China, covet.
In lovely New Zealand prices have gone up . . . with the 'reasoning' that there's little foreign labor so production is lower, fewer exports = ergo sum: prices must go up.
Orchards here are geared for export - second grade products are sold locally. We're now at NZD$4.50/kg of apples. Roughly 1,-/apple.
Prices of seafood here are absurd
We've got problems getting our veges picked- no backpackers. So vege prices are up- but seafood way down and wine being moderately discounted, at least in SA.
So it's oysters, tuna sashimi & steak, & lobster for Xmas- and just a few veges. Oh, and wine of course. Shouldn't complain, Scotty from marketing just handed me a christmas gift.
