  1. I'm fairly confident that the periodic blackouts that China is no longer facing and which had a lot more to do with local leaders being overzealous about clean energy targets than about coal shortages is much less of a nuisance to China than the loss of exports is to Australia. Having said this, I'd like to see both countries behaving more like good neighbors and less like assholes, and I wish my country (USA) would stop stirring the pot.

  2. It has very little to do with the blackouts, and China is not suffering food shortages.

  5.  @freeman10000  China's government is anything but insane. China learned its most aggressive techniques from the business end of Western and Japanese battle cruisers. Australia and China will have to work on their relationship together. But in the end, China is in a much more powerful position, trade-wise and geopolitically, than Australia could ever hope to be in, and Australia is in China's neighborhood whether they want to admit it or not.
