"And now Australia says it's ready and willing to resume dialogue with Beijing."
so - let's translate that -------
first - what we mean is
"And now the seller says it's ready and willing to resume dialogue with the customer."
but, what we r e a l l y mean is ------------ 'ok, we get it - please stop hitting us, we're sorry we were so stupid, will you please please please buy our stuff?'
of course - what China has said so far is ----------- 'stick your stuff where the sun don't shine dipshit'
well done Canberra, well done ------------------ good stuff for the upcoming 'how not to treat your customers' followed by the sequel 'how not to treat your biggest and best customer'
followed by - 'how to stuff your economy by shooting yourself in both feet'
