On the 4th of this month, the 4th Import Expo opened in Shanghai, and about 3,000 enterprises from 127 countries and regions around the world will participate in the exhibition. Compared with the previous session, the total exhibition area of this expo has increased to 366,000 square meters, and many foreign companies have enthusiastically signed up, and earned real money and silver at the meeting, and reaped tangible benefits.
However, not all countries have been able to seize this important opportunity, such as the number of Australian businesses participating in the market has not increased, but has declined, from more than 180 last year to about 100, setting a record for the worst in four years. As for why this is happening, the reason for this is simple, because the Morrison government is encouraging the country's exporters to open up new markets, so it has not sponsored any company to participate in China.
Originally, the bad relations between China and Australia have made a difficult situation for a number of Australian enterprises, but now Canberra intends to give up a great opportunity to extinguish its last hope, and such a stupid approach has not unexpectedly been resisted. The media reported on November 7 that the Australian state of Victoria decided to sponsor dozens of companies in the state to participate in the Expo in China out of its own pocket.
A Victorian government spokesman said it would not abandon the Chinese market and would try its best to secure new contracts to increase local employment opportunities. Frankly speaking, there is nothing wrong with this approach, it is not a shame to make money, not to mention that they will not be discriminated against because of their australian business status, the only embarrassment is Morrison, whose federal government has once again become a clown.
In fact, this is not the first time that Victoria has contradicted Canberra, since the two countries have fallen out of favor, the governor of the state Andrews has more than once publicly expressed his desire to continue friendly relations with China, while criticizing Morrison for improper behavior, making mistakes in dealing with China-related issues, and should be responsible for the plight of Australian exporters.
Therefore, its "parting ways" with the Australian government this time is not surprising, on the contrary, it is completely reasonable, Morrison likes to be stupid, and can he block others from running to the right path? However, some right-wingers can't sit still, such as The Australian Sky News host Dean, who accused Andrews of his behavior in a show, saying that his behavior was "unacceptable".
Ironically, Morris has been provoking China in recent times, and the most fundamental purpose is to curry favor with Washington, so he is willing to act as a pawn of the United States, rushing to the front every time and becoming the country that attacks us the hardest. But Washington is not stupid, let Australia do things that offend people, and the money he should earn will not be less.
Japan's "Asahi Shimbun" pointed out that although the Sino-US trade problems have not yet been solved, but the enthusiasm of US companies to participate in the Expo is very strong, the number of exhibitors hit a new high, many American companies in order to get a piece of the pie, have brought the latest products and technologies, hoping to win the favor of Chinese consumers in the fierce competition. Comparing the two, you know how stupid Australia is, and the meat sent to the mouth refuses to eat.
In order to confront us, Canberra did not hesitate to damage the relationship between the two countries and sacrifice its own interests to make a wedding dress for Washington, and I really don't know what to get. During the Sino-Australian war, the export of US coal, barley and other commodities to China soared, snatching away all the orders that belonged to Australian enterprises.
Finally, it should be noted that when Canberra tore up the economic agreement signed between Victoria and China in April, it should have expected such a day. Since Morrison did not do the right thing and betrayed the national interests, victoria naturally had a reason to rise up and bypass the Australian government to deal with us alone. If Canberra continues to act perversely, more states will join the ranks in the future and draw a line with the Australian government.
