Roundabout or buy Australian coal! Fan Shiping: Where to put Xi’s face?

China has been fighting a trade war with Australia and ordered a total boycott of Australian coal and other products last year, but foreign media pointed out that Australian coal still enters China through other markets. In this regard, Fan Shiping, a professor at the Institute of Political Science of the National Taiwan Normal University, said that this move proves that Australia has overcome the “war wolf diplomacy”, which will be a model of international relations, and also laughed and said “where to put the face of our Xi Da!

According to the Australian News, although China banned the import of Australian coal, the coal produced in Australia still entered China through other markets; the coal company “Whitehaven Coal” said that although China turned to high-cost coal from Russia, Indonesia, South Africa and other countries to fill the gap, but in response to strong industrial demand and extremely cold winter, China increased the total amount of imports at the end of last year, Australian coal was delivered to India, Pakistan and other places first, and these markets used to sell coal to China.

In this regard, Fan Shiping said on Facebook this (19) day, he went to the Department of Political Science at NTU this morning to participate in the oral examination of the master’s thesis syllabus, “the classmate’s thesis topic is very interesting, the evolution of Australia’s China policy, but only research to 2020 is too bad, because Biden is only the beginning of the good show after the Taiwan”.

Fan Shiping analyzed why Australia, a medium-sized country with a population similar to Taiwan and a highly dependent economy on China, dares to confront China. And it seems to be close to success, which he believes will be a model for international relations, “Wasn’t China at first ‘picking the soft ones to eat’ before taking Australia to task? Now it has been discovered that Australia is buying Australian coal through a third country, proving that Australia has overcome the ‘war wolf diplomacy’, where can we put Xi’s face!”
