China's export boomed in August, but its purchases of Australia goods plunged

China's export boomed in August, but its purchases of Australia goods plunged

The decline in Australian export is a reality check for the Australian government that it is not doing justice to its citizens by being too gung-ho and pig-head with its approach in dealing with China, in particular during the last few months.

According to the report that "China’s purchases of Australian goods plunge 26.2 per cent from a year earlier, even as exports to Australia jumped 24.4 per cent," It continues to say that "China’s trade deficit with Australia narrowed by 48.1 per cent year on year in August to just US$4.3 billion in August."

Scott Morrison is not refined enough to handle international diplomacy. Despite his successful “100% Pure New Zealand” campaign", he failed miserably with the infamous ‘Where the bloody hell are ya’ Australian tourism ad. Its tacky taglines resulted in the ad being banned in both the UK and Canada due to the use of "bloody".

Scotty from Marketing is definitely no marketer at all, because a good marketer understands that it costs 10 times more to find a new customer than to keep a good existing one.

While I am no fan of Daniel Andrews due to his mishandling of the hotel quarantine, and protecting those who deserved to be stood down without pay or sacked from the senior position, he remained calm during daily press update. He takes on all the blame, and says nothing bad about other state premiers and the PM.

It will take many more years for Australia to restart some manufacturing businesses, to produce goods to satisfy our local demand without relying on imports. However, it is not sustainable if what we produce cannot sell to other countries, which means lack of economy of scale in manufacturing or production, the costs will be much higher than what the consumers are prepared to pay.

Australians may not buy from China directly, but most online suppliers disguise themselves as from channels other than China, or in other words, Australians pay more through another party or multiple parties.

Morrison government always talk about Chinese government not being transparent, especially during the past few months of Covid-19 pandemic.

What has Morrison got to hide by shielding the officials from the Department of Agriculture from appearing at the Ruby Princess enquiry?

What also chesses me off is that Daniel Andrews also refused to answer questions at another enquiry about the hotel quarantine debacle.

Thank you for reading.

Scott Morrison PM of Australia

Commenting on "Scott Morrison PM of Australia"


Morrison has lost all my respect as the PM of Australia, and I hope he will not win another term in office.

He is getting as nutty as Trump. Not only he starts to behave like Trump, but also he is making decisions on the run, like on the latest grant scheme to keep the tradies‘ jobs afloat.

The renovation grant is a bit of a joke, favouring the upper class more than the middle income group. This sounds like a great incentive, but with a price tag $150k to $750k renovation, can average Australians afford? This will benefit those who buy and renovate for flipping.

The negative impact of this grant is pushing up house prices.

Morrison appears more like a state opposition party leader. Whatever the Victorian Premier does, he says otherwise. During the early onset of the Coronavirus pandemic, he encouraged Australians not to concern about the spread and go to attend footy game, and now he sees no problem for large crowd to attend Black Lives Matter rally.

Did Morrison advise Trump holding a Bible to have a photo session in front of a church, and Trump with his wife standing in front of the papal statue for no other reason except to have a snapshot?

Morrison is so happy to be invited by Trump to attend the G7 meeting, and obligingly stupid to be the mouth piece of Trump to do the dirty work condemning China for spreading the virus!

Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews has done a much better job than the Morrison’s clan including Dutton and Payne. No one needs to suck up or kowtow to China to spare the economic pain. Diplomacy to develop good relationship is the key to success to achieve a win-win situation.
