The best thing Australia could do is to abandon both America and China as major trade partners. Both countries have shown they are unreliable and will use their market power as a weapon.

Don’t worry, the next time we ‘hurt the feelings of the Chinese people’ things will be back to normal.

I hate this. China is just as shitty a trade partner as America. They are reactionary and impose nonsensical tariffs in response to perceived slights.

Increasing trade and dependency with these countries creates a deterrent against free speech.

Let countries like this stand on their own.
