@maxyogi hello vvumao. Most of what Australia exports is raw materials or foods which is globally traded and new buyers can be found, though might have to sell it a little lower. My point is that Australia doesn’t depend on China as much as the basic economic trade data shows.

@PaulStewartAviation the trade was handled in a horrible way going unilaterally and too quickly but now with other countries joining and now that we have seen how Xi is a threat, the trade war is a positive now. Closer economic ties with India and Vietnam are needed. Thailand too. I believe the US is the largest export market for all and i know for Vietnam it’s not even close — over 30% of exports are to the US. That means they are slowly replacing some of Chinas production.

But China with concentration camps of Uyghurs aren’t racist?

@Nick-jn2fq Kuhan said in another comment “Australia is racist and incompetent. Asia found out”. It’s a CCP account.

@divya9951 I dont know what to make your incorrect comment. Just not educated or vvumao trying to defend China.

@lati long closer economic ties generally improve their relations but that alone isn’t enough. The west having more Trade with India Vietnam help to decouple from China so that’s the number one reason for it. The claim the Anglosphere (actually the west in general but me thinks you’re anti west) was too generous to China does indeed have real basis. China was given preferential trade conditions and the west allowed China for years to have a system where any foreign company has to partner up with Chinese locals (10% ownership?) and that Chinese company or individual would often steal IP and trade secrets. The west allowed it for years believing that continued trade with China will eventually lead to a softer and more friendly China but then Xi changed everything.

@lati long also, one of the main benefits of the “anglosphere” for most countries is the protection of trade routes around the world. If Russia or China or USSR before had control of the seas around the world, they would not be so kind .

@user-jt3dw6vv4x “Australia is Enslaved to the US too”. Get out of here. And to prove you wrong in how your suggesting they US is bad for Australia, why doesn’t Australia just say no to the US and evict them out of Australia? Oh, that’s because the US provides a huge defense for Australia in case, I don’t know, the China you are defending attacks or wants to bully Australia?

@user-jt3dw6vv4x you enjoy the free seas because the US keeps them free. You enjoy being safe from foreign powers because the US. And China - Australia relations were strained because some Australians didn’t like the camps in Xinjiang, the crackdown on Hong Kong, and China hiding Covid for so long. But it ultimately became strained because China is a bully and won’t accept criticism from other countries so if you want o be a puppet of China, how would that be better for Australia?

@user-jt3dw6vv4x so if Australia wasn’t scared of China, they wouldn’t need US to have a base in Australia and wouldn’t (in your words) act like a puppet of the US, right???

@user-jt3dw6vv4x Indonesia isn’t standing in it own. It’s being bullied by China in the South China Sea. So is Vietnam. You know nothing..

@user-jt3dw6vv4x are you paid by Beijing?
1
@user-jt3dw6vv4x Asia found out how racist and incompetent Australia is so many Asians moved to Australia. OPs argument doesn’t hold but he’s paid by the CCP.
1
@user-jt3dw6vv4x OP Is from India and yet he as a few comments defending China and criticizing Australia. He’s choosing China over India when China is the enemy of Australia. Almost as if these Beijing workers might come up usernames that would mislead you where they are from.
