    West: China is evil and anyone that trades with them is morally bankrupt! We must rid ourselves of reliance on Chinese goods! Doesn’t matter of we’re screwing over our own citizens in the process, they should have put Western pride over their own livelihoods anyway!

    China: Cool, we’ll even help you wean yourselves off by restricting exports.

    West: That just proves our point of how evil they are! They’re depriving poor us of resources! How dare they!

      Exactly, China is just protecting their domestic supply here, but the real issue is that global supply chains were disrupted by the war on Iran, and we’re seeing more and more ripples from that every single day.

    Well maybe the australian pm shouldnt have immediately come out in support of the trump regime. There were even australian ‘observers’ on the usa nuclear sub that torpedoed the Iranian ship and left the survivors for dead
