    The US has knackered our exports to China but fail to compensate us; just threaten to expel us from the 5 Eyes program & support for our
    National security: in essence either we are with the USA is its quest to bankrupt China or we are against the US.
    The bottom line is this invidious position will cost us our $50 billion annual China Trade Surplus.

    We should be asking the US for a lazy $500 billion to build our own Steel Smelters/Mills so that we can cruel China* which will complement
    the US quest to debunk the CCP.

    * By processing say 20% of our iron ore/met coal exports we can:
    -starve China of raw steel making supplies
    -conquest some of China's steel export customers

    This would also drive up the price of Iron Ore and met coals; a double win for Aus and a massive win for the USA in its quest to stymie China's economic growth.

    IMO Morrisson should have kept his council & devise & implement Plan B such as above before throwing US shit balls at China.
