You could be right eyeswideopen and it may explain the fact he's giving an even bigger discount on products he doesn't even sell. I admit I hadn't thought of it this way but perhaps he is just the fall guy (in the Australian press) in a face-saving exercise. I guess we will find out soon enough whether there is a decline in tensions between China and Australia as a result.

Strong emotions and investing generally don't work - though you have to understand them because there is a very important political context here. I have no financial interest in any case.
