China vows to take trade fight to Trump, page-84

Who knows what this will mean for Australian producers.

A key problem is that producers can't plan ahead because the so-called trade war also involves lighting fires so that hero roles can be played in putting them out again. Frequent policy reversals are expected.

The US and China may both import some stuff from Australia that they won't now purchase from each other. They may also dump subsidised produce into other traditional Australian markets.

It would be nice to spend time discussing topics such as the PBOC crypto but such developments won't get a mention while Trump and Xi continue play their ridiculous sandpit and bathtub games.
