It seems really silly to me…china was picking a fight with it’s one geographically close, trade neighbour that is considered western, while instead they could have shown they were easy to work with as a contrast to Trunos america.

From Australias.point of view, we trade with them a lotz but for us, there is nothing they provided that we can’t get elsewhere, but it would come at a cost. Howeverz for them, they don’t have alternative sources for some of our trade.
