China has imported $30 million worth of Australian copper concentrate and increased purchases of cotton from the country amid international sanctions over Xinjiang, despite unofficially banning the products in November last year, Chinese trade data shows.
Chinese importers also snapped up the lion's share of Australia's bumper wheat harvest for the 2021-22 season, making it the country's largest buyer just as global supplies fall.
Global shortages and political tensions have forced China to turn to Australian products, especially as its economy has bounced back from the coronavirus pandemic, although there are few signs the trend will be permanent.
Despite taking punitive trade action against Australia over several issues, including Canberra's push for an independent investigation into the origins of the coronavirus, China will avoid shooting itself in the foot economically, said Stephen Olson, a former trade negotiator with the United States Trade Representative.

Who is really keeping the container ships around LA from unloading? Loaded and anchored ships can't bring back food...
I personally subscribe to the theory that some of the containers might have weapons or missiles and the delay is to be able to search them thoroughly but who knows
Could be both, bring over weapons etc. Then bring back food
Nukes or biological weapons
Was the "evergreen" ship getting precariously stuck a signal to launch this operation?
Interesting theory.
...and China doesn't get paid until after ships are unloaded. So yes good question.
I can't find the answer to this anywhere. Not that it's a big deal, it's only affecting the global economy and may bankrupt China.
Aus should leave them out to dry and stop being cowards.
No. Australia should price gouge at 1000% of normal prices and tell them to suck it up - Take it or leave it and it just went up to 1500% - be quick or 2000% or sell to India at 90%.
Fuck China.
^^ This X1000. CHINA IS ASSHOE.
another way to interpret this would be:
Australia bent over and dived face first into Nazi territory. China in response relaxed its economic vice on them.
Except AUS hasn't flipped yet. NSW is no longer under lockdown. The premier resigned after she got investigated.
Australia won't fall.
source please? i know premier resigned... for issues completely unrelated to lockdowns and tyranny she enacted, but I saw no reports that the situation on the ground changed in any way. All I am seeing is another Coumo situation - ignore atrocities, shuffle the face in front of the public to replace it with even bigger globohomos
17TH JANUARY, 2019.
Do Patriots remember this incident? Can you remember when Pelosi and 93 of her FAMILY were going to Brussels and Afghanistan on a ‘fact finding trip’? Adam Schiff was also going. They were going to travel by an USAF plane. They were virtually on the tarmac and President Trump would not sign the fuel authorisation because they were suppose to be passing the Budget and he denied them the plane. He told them to find commercial transportation Can you remember the bus circling DC then Schiff got off? 😂 It was hilarious news at the time. Then the pictures of Pelosi’s luggage loaded up outside her office? 😂 WHY was she leaving and 93 of her family members?? Remember, LA is her area, along with Schiff. https://www.politico.com/story/2019/01/17/nancy-pelosi-codel-trip-cancelled-1110670 Luggage outside Pelosi’s office https://thebl.com/politics/luggage-returned-to-pelosis-office-after-trump-cancels-her-overseas-trip.html
THEN ON 5TH FEBRUARY, 2019
See if Patriots can connect the dots! Can Patriots a so called “exercise” caused a stir when helicopters descended on a major st. in downtown LA? One landed on the roof, while a group hovered overhead and another 3 landed - one blocking off the street and the other 2 dropping Special Forces off who went into the building? Then a black hawk appeared and landed and the OPs moved quickly back to the black hawks? It took off and another black hawk that was hovering in the distance replaced the first and the procedure was repeated. They were in and out in a matter of minutes. Think about it. These guys have plenty of places to train; they don’t need a packed downtown LA street to practice on! Watch the video below! When they return to the first helicopter, notice they have 2 guys carrying a ‘stretcher’, - you’ll see it more clearly at the second helicopter. Within that ‘stretcher’ made of Kevlar and other materials, was 2/3 bombs. 1 was a biological weapon and the second a dirty bomb. Each team take each bomb/s on and leave in DIFFERENT directions. That EMPTY building was to be demolished within days. Think of that. That biological weapon could end up in any country around the globe if a person in that area, left American soil and travelled to any other country. https://youtu.be/bGh32AKLia8
8TH FEBRUARY, 2019. In that same week, Special Ops removed the biggest drug bust at Long Beach harbour near Los Angels. There was a connection to El Chappo. https://abc7.com/meth-seizure-long-beach-port-drug/5126800/
There are no coincidences. Q
A good friend lives in a loft in downtown LA, and spends a lot of time on the rooftop lounge of her building. She has a recording on her phone of the helicopters that she took.
C’Mon Aussies...STARVE THE COMMIES!!!
If China leat Australia go they'll starve. If China doesn't let Australia go they'll starve.
It's all about the food. What happens when tjey can't feed their people?
Chicoms blame sparrows....it's the sparrows eating the food that's causing starvation.
U FKN WOT M8!?
The last time I checked our two biggest economic states were locked down and people aren't allowed to work. Oh and don't forget the biggest property bubble in human history and central bankers talking about negative interest rates.
Copper concentrate? Isn’t the most concentrated form of copper.... copper?
