In the past one or two years, Australia has encountered many troubles, various natural disasters in China, and the export of products to China has been blocked, because Australian Prime Minister Morrison has not been scolded for these things. However, recently, Australia, which has been "unlucky" for a long time, finally received a good news, but before it was happy for a while, it began to worry again.
The media reported on the 27th that due to the abundant rainfall this year, Australian cotton will usher in a bumper harvest, and the output of this season alone is 4 times that of last year, with a total value of up to 1.5 billion Australian dollars. At present, the "time and place advantages" are already available, but only the "people" are lacking, as we all know, China-Australia relations are not good now, and China is the largest market for Australian cotton, so the question is, who is the goods sold to?
You know, before Australia can export more than 800 million Australian dollars worth of cotton to China a year, at its peak even accounted for 70% of Australian cotton production, but now the situation has changed dramatically, Australian Cotton Association CEO Adam Kai said in an interview, as far as he knows, Chinese textile mills have been "warned" not to buy Australian cotton, so it can not rule out the worst situation, that is, this year's cotton can not be sold to China.
It is worth mentioning that last year, because of the drought, Australia's cotton production was greatly reduced, down to the lowest level in 40 years, when many cotton farmers could only grit their teeth and stand firm, this year's harvest is not easy, if you can not export it will be a loss, no business for two consecutive years, many farmers and enterprises will go bankrupt.
In this regard, many netizens have given Advice to Australia, suggesting that it sell cotton to its allies, such as the United States. Not to mention, Australian cotton farmers are indeed already plotting a way out, Adam Kay said, in order to ensure export diversification, is considering opening up markets in Places such as Vietnam, Bangladesh, and South Korea, and plans to replace competitors such as the United States and Brazil.
This is very clear, Australia not only has to sell cotton, but also to grab business, the global cotton consumption market is limited, one side sells more and the other conveniently sells less, in the case of losing the Chinese market, Australian cotton farmers can only take food from the United States to have a way to live.
Of course, this matter can not be said that Australia is not authentic, because it is indeed the United States under the black hand first, before the media has done statistics, after the Sino-Australian confrontation, the Export of American wine, coking coal, logs and other products to China has soared, and almost all the market share of Australian products has been seized, so that Morrison has been laughed at in engaging in "America First".
Since the United States is not benevolent, we can't blame Australia for being unjust, we naturally don't care, it is best to fight the head and bleed, and it is best to turn against each other, this kind of "dog bites dog" plot between the West, presumably the majority of netizens are also looking forward to seeing. Frankly speaking, the United States and Australia are both big exporters of agricultural products and mineral resources, and competition cannot be avoided, but some Australian politicians actually expect Washington to help, which is simply stupid.
In fact, not long ago, after Canberra unilaterally tore up the economic cooperation agreement signed with China, there was no possibility of reconciliation between the two sides, at least not during Morrison's tenure, so when we countered Australia, we no longer need to worry about anything, and we can directly strike hard.
According to the latest report of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, this month is the first anniversary of the suspension of imports of four meat companies in the country, and as of December last year, six meat companies have been suspended from importing, two of which are actively operating recently, hoping that China can lift the ban and look forward to the early resumption of trade with China, but it is clear that we do not have this intention. In addition to cotton and beef, more Australian goods should be included in the counter-list, and it is better to break one finger than to hurt its ten fingers, and it is better to hit them once to make them remember.
