Terrific piece here from Rowan Callick here discussing all of the taboos of the fake left with reference to China, iron ore and war.
Can anyone conceive of Australia’s iron ore sales to China, our big-ticket global income earner, lurching downward uncomfortably – or coming to a grinding stop altogether?
Yes. This unthinkable is quietly being thought, in corporate and government back rooms, in hypotheticals, and in risk-management exercises, even as relations with China are being stabilised by Canberra as a top priority, to widespread applause.
