China can easily replace Australian imports

I am not a political expert, but I knew from the start when Morrison bet the wrong horse in supporting Donald Trump to condemn China in every foreseeable way, causing irreparable damage to Australia-China relationship. Morrison single handedly is causing long-term suffering to the lives and livelihood of all Australians.

I have written before that China can easily find alternative sources of supply for coal. The current high prices for iron ore and wheat are going to be short-live until such time steady shipment of these commodities from other countries can be established. It is unlikely that Australia can find new markets to replace China's.

I have never come across any business person who goes all the way to kill off its major trading partner; worse still the goose that lays the golden eggs that provides Australia of very healthy trade surpluses year after year.

The linked article is basically echoing what I been writing. Unless Morrison can perform miracles, or his Almighty can give him a hand, he has a Buckley's chance to get Australia out the mess.

Thank you for reading.
