"China Demands Australia Support The Annexing Of Taiwan" Topic

… If It Wants An End To The Trade War

"China has warned Australia it must support its policy to 'reunify' with Taiwan if it wants the trade war to end.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin gave the chilling ultimatum at a media conference in Beijing one day after Anzac Day, continuing the increasingly belligerent tone adopted by the Communist Party regime.

He accused Canberra of 'meddling' in China's internal affairs and said there is 'no room for any form of Taiwan independence'…"

Armand, the PRC demands a lot of things, and the demands are more for their public's and their SE Asian neighbours' consumption than any real hope we'll do as they say.

We'll cop a few more "necessary retaliatory measures" in the form of new tariffs and embargoes, and the PRC will continue playing the wronged party. It's pretty boring really, except to exporters who will lose their markets.

I wonder why they're not putting tariffs and embargoes on the iron ore and other minerals we're still (stupidly) selling them? It's a pity we can't suffer a sudden iron ore or bauxite or rare earths shortage and "unavoidably" miss a few shipments, but the "business leaders"- and their bought pollies- won't have it.

Cheers.

Thanks!.

Yeah, yeah … people have tried to intimidate us before. The Chinese Communist Party can go and get stuffed!

The Chinese state sponsored "attacks" are always so clumsy and awkward many Australians see them as a joke.

It's like a bot analysing twitter hashtags then trying to create a headline.

Most normal people stop listening after the word "demands".

" It's a pity we can't suffer a sudden iron ore or bauxite or rare earths shortage and "unavoidably" miss a few shipments"

Better off to jack up the price (like, double or more.) Oh, they'll squeal about it, but [shrugs] sudden market increases, inflation, you know, not our fault… ;-)

China can't annex Taiwan as under international law Taiwan is as Chinese as Beijing!

Of course this doesn't mean PRC controls Tawian or Taipei controls the mainland.

My thoughts exactly, ns99.

The world needs to boycott China completely, in order to halt their growth and increasing belligerence, or it will only get much, much worse, as we've seen in the South China Sea (which they promised they wouldn't militarize when building those islands), Hong Kong, the East China Sea, and the border with India in the Himalayan mountains.

I'm afraid of China… always was…
