    Up goes the rhetoric - the big bully Australia does not take kindly to being bullied by a bigger bully.

    Oh well, looks like we could be on for more fireworks yet. China is not going to back down and lose face.
    It makes you wonder how big everyones egos are at this point.

    Iron ore no exception in twisted China-Australia trade


    There has been intense coverage addressing deteriorating ties between China and Australia and falling bilateral trade, with a growing list of Australian products - ranging from barley, to timber, lobster and beef - facing the so-called "sanctions" from China.
    It is wishful thinking that iron ore could be an exception in ongoing China-Australia trade rows

    if iron ore is on the table dairy is really on the table as iron ore is needed by china more than dairy
    one step ahead of the herd

    Global Times is of course the mouth piece of the CCP.

    Guess Brazil will be rubbing its hands in glee at the prospect of replacing Australia as the biggest supply of iron ore to China?

    Realistically, iron ore will be the last product to be hit by China but knowing the way China very successfully fought the trade war with the US, it will be busy setting up alternative supply lines while maintaining Oz supply in the meantime.

    China did the same with coal and now gets a big chunk of its needs from Indonesia.

    Fran O'Sullivan: China's sudden interest in Asia-Pacific trade pact chance for Jacinda Ardern to lead

    I think we will be floating here @ $14 for awhile longer. I hope to be proven wrong but with things escalating further and a large majority of investors on the Asx, I doubt the price will shift until A2M make an announcement.
