    All the semen is exported? No wonder the cows got mad

    This is a key point. Knucklehead politicians think that nationalism, regional hate, ethnic conflicts, tribal loyalties, etc. can be ratcheted up and down in a controlled manner like the temperature of an oven for their own political interests. But they can't. These things have a life of their own and usually grow out of control.

    I think our government in Australia, has banned Huawei from some telecommunications stuff, too. Government and private sector, Vodafone for example, cancelled its sizable 5G network equipment deal with Huawei.

    Understandable, considering how close our ties are with the US.

    "China should end this all and just put an export tax on all products to the US. US company wants to buy product X for $100. Make them pay $25 in a special export tax to China."

    "Remove all import duties and let US products flow freely into China."

    What could go wrong?

    The US sending their backdoor-opened tech equipment to China?

    It will be niche products that the US needs and China dominates supply and are not easily transferable such as rare earth metals or scrap imports. Foreign owned branded products made in China.

    But risky given how important China is as a buyer of Aussie goods/resources.

    We'll see, the world needs a bit of a hard reset environmentally/agriculturally/geologically speaking, so we'll just have to manage, won't we?

    If it slows down the over use of petro-chemical tat and natural resource waste, then, so be it.
