...it was, I think, imprudent for Australia to become so dependent on exports to China in the first place particularly as China has previously used commercial methods to coerce other countries to behave in the way it wants...South Korea and Japan come to mind as well as the pusillanimous South China Sea backtracking of the Flips when banana exports and maid employment were threatened...Do other countries act aggressively in this way? Of course....but China only makes such open threats when its opponents are weaker. So, I guess that's how China sees the rambunctious Aussies...
