Over the last 12 months, China has launched a wave of trade sanctions against Australia. Industry after industry has been hit with a range of punishing measures, from massive new taxes to import restrictions. In this video we answer the following: 1) What's behind China-Australia rising tensions? 2) What Australian industries Did China Target? 3) Will China severe any future trade cooperation with Australia? 4) Will Australia back down? One thing is sure: By the time you have 14 sectors in the chopping black whether you call it coercion or something else, it is quite clear Beijing is sending a signal not only to Australia but others as well.

Richard Wong Richard Wong 1 day ago China and Australia have rarely crossed their paths geographically and politically until recent years when Australia's current and past Prime Ministers hit out at China probably mainly as a result of following US orders and/or policies. China has been tolerant and defensive. No one can force another party to trade with you except when the British forced China to accept opium as a means of payment for goods bought from China when it was a weak country. 150 will engel will engel 1 day ago there were two US carrier battle groups at SCS man made islands making noises on the day the rulings came out. China sent in its warships and had its missile battery on alert. there was a standoff and a news blackout. US carrier battle group left the area but hung around for days. Obama's Pivot to Asia went down the toilet, and QUAD is the next best thing US can come up with after more than a decade. President Duterte of the Philippines saw, understood, and plays it better than anybody else. 47 Ivan Ho Ivan Ho 1 day ago Simple logic - when a seller repeatedly insult their customer, is obvious the customer will stop doing business with such disrespectful seller. My guess the seller here, feeling good of being tough and does not want to sell or they believe that their products can't be brought else where, or the seller has a powerful gang leader controlling this seller. Whatever, this seller had sealed their own destiny. 177 John Chow John Chow 1 day ago (edited) Chinese tourists and students will also refrain from going to Australia after the pendemic and tourism industry will be hit deeper and the prices of opals and fancy yellow diamonds etc. will plummet! 98 Brain Washington Brain Washington 1 day ago There is an old Chinese saying, "To beat a dog one must first see who the owner is." AU volunteered to be that dog, China needed to show other US lackeys that there is a limit to the amount of abuse China will take. 152 pikachus 5m pikachus 5m 1 day ago A survey done prior to all the current hostilities, showed Australia as being the most successful of all the developed economies, with it having the highest standard of living, the best education, healthcare, society development and welfare etc. scoring well in all the metrics, and decides to throw it all away to be Americas attack dog, thats as dumb as it gets ! 49 Winston Teo Winston Teo 1 day ago Uncle Sam's calling the shots, but Australia's paying the price. Australia, wise up a little..... 61 Jimme2020 Jimme2020 1 day ago (edited) I have more respect for china today ,teach thoses aussie government delinquents a lesson they will never forget , Im glad china is hitting back in a peaceful adult manner , like Martin Luther king taught his people don't give your business until they change their bad ways........ 108 Kin Ky Kin Ky 1 day ago Australia has not had a recession for the last 30 years because of China's business, and the Australian was making a huge profit from China. Right now, only the iron ore is keeping Australia afloat, but as soon as the Chinese find a replacement, Australia would very rapidly be reduced to a third world country! 139 Heng Soon c Lee Heng Soon c Lee 1 day ago I like your expression of 'poking the dragon'. Napoleon once said: Let the sleeping dragon lie. Australia has nothing better to do poking the dragon. 56 V.W. Singer V.W. Singer 1 day ago What amazes me is the Australians who go around saying that China is bullying them. How is not buying from a vendor with a bad attitude somehow "bullying"? We do it all the time in our everyday lives. We shop at places that provide good customer service. "Yes we spit when you enter the shop, but you need to buy from us anyway. otherwise you are being aggressive." How does this make any sense. Australia doesn't have to back down or grovel, just shut up and do business like any sensible person or nation. "Thank you and come again! Have a nice day!". 41 JdjssD.N. Jsjssjs JdjssD.N. Jsjssjs 1 day ago This present PM S. Morrison has done the greatest damage to the Australia economy in the history of Australia. China will be the biggest economy on a few years time and Asia is the engine of growth. Australia prosperity and trade are linked to Asia, not the West. Chinese tourists and students which contribute billions to Aussie coffer are going to dry up and many oversea Chinese from Asean will also do the same. It will cost Australia an average of 55 billions annually and that is a conservative estimate. 24 pjber pjber 1 day ago Countries who refuse to recognize that China will be the superpower of the 21st century do so at their detriment. 107 Li Zhu Li Zhu 1 day ago The Aussie must learn not to bite the hand that feeds them. 66 Louise Mann Louise Mann 1 day ago "If you make China the enemy, China will become the enemy". Take note Japan! They're going down the same road as Australia. I can't even begin to comprehend why Japan would want to poke the Dragon. 103 Ying Zhang Ying Zhang 1 day ago Australia wanted to be the head dog of US in relation to China policy. Australia does not understand, except Australia, there are other countries who could be the suppliers of Chinese market. 65 Joshua Foong Joshua Foong 1 day ago The world is laughing at the Australian government. 84 Teng Siew Pong Teng Siew Pong 1 day ago Now the silly Aussies want to end a contract that leased the operations of Darwin port to a Chinese company. Their own Defence Dept signed off on the security evaluation of the deal and thought nothing of it until Australia's colonial masters, the Yanks raised hell. Then suddenly the Aussies made a policy U turn and called it a huge mistake. Yep, when their American master barks jump, Aussies meekly ask how high. The joke's on Australia. 68 ALI SUSANTO LIONG ALI SUSANTO LIONG 1 day ago I like the term they use . China don’t need Australia to bow to them. They just want to trade , invest and make profit. They want business partners with mutual respect. Very simple. Why the Aussies gov coudn’t understand this very simple fact? 64 劉劉 劉劉 1 day ago The Aussies thought India can replace China as the biggest market ; but now they can only sell India body bags or timber which are in great demand there ! 106 宰斜阳 宰斜阳 1 day ago It is the tragedy of democracy that those in power put elections first. 63 Eric Too Eric Too 1 day ago Clever Aussies found an alternative while they were shutting down the trade with China, they are going to catch up 50B$ trade with India in the future by the year of 2030 instead of the 230B$ trade with China in 2020, what clever boys!!!
