Yeah nah, Wolf warrior china decided to block lobsters, barley and wine in 2020.
It’s basically everyone for themselves at this point. Nobody is joining hands.

Maybe I’m naive but I would’ve thought the correct diplomatic response here would be something like:
Yeah of course mate we join hands with everyone in these trying times including our good friends the US, the EU, ASEAN, and especially China.
Anyhoo. We’re better off playing the field. Anyone seeking to befriend us at this time doesn’t have our best interests in mind.

China have imposed their own tariffs on Aussie stuff in the past, so fuck 'em.

Well yeah that’s what we should do but we can still say nice things just because it’s nice to be nice you know?
