Personally i cant see that china will continue to boycott australian exports. they are shooting themselves in the foot as it has caused they to pay premium prices so come commodities including coal and has done no damage to australian economy as we simply found other buyers for the coal and probably less likely to rely on china in the future due to the punitive measures they seem to resort to with most bilateral relationships when the other party does not bow to their way of thinking. there is likely to be some sort of face loss prevention but i dont think they will hold the line for much longer. i guess they need to feel they have taught australia and the rest of the world a lesson not to meddle into what they consider their own affairs.
