Dutton was not backward in coming face first into Chinese President Xi Jinping when he suggested Aus should prepare for War With China. he, like Trump, cared not for the consequences of his words. probably didn't think anybody would take him seriously as he cried out the Sky is Falling.

Now we have Trump getting started on China and the latter is fighting back. my guess is that China will win a tariff war. Xi doesn't give a damn. he'll up Trump like a good gambler ready to squeeze his victim dry of cash. he's no fool for Trump's self-adoration and narcissism.

but we have to look for a bit through Xi's views, if we can. he sees Trump as a smug gits. a jerk with a massive ego, but one whose sharp enough to arrange things to happen. if you know what I mean. Xi doesn't fear Trump.

now switch focus to Trump's view..... oh crikey that beyond the limits of my capacity for empathy. I can see through the eyes of a psychopath, a murderer, a woman in ht street or a wino in the park..... but I just cannot imagine Trump's squirming brain.

can you?

my point is Xi will equate Aus, Dutton, with US, Trump, if we get cosy with Trump beliefs and policies.

would this make us a target for Xi's tariffs?

what would this do to our economy.?

Trade with the US is clearly more important to China than trade with China is to the US. Same with Canada and Mexico, Trump will easily win
