What if China stops buying Aussie coal?

[Dona Ferentes]

Interesting thread. Well done @Dona Ferentes for it's rejuvenation, in a time when energy security and material supplies might be critical.

But, it's also been looked at in other threads, not sure what the direct point is here.

Is it getting revenue from coal sales, or energy security?

I'm leaning towards the benefit to our economy verses giving material to China who are intent on destroying us.

interesting . A thousand brainfarts on ASF , and I'm selected.
Thread title .. China, coal, Australia.
Content .... China, coal, Australia.

Please explain?

the maths say Australia exports a LOT of coal

China imports a lot of stuff from Australia ( by percentage of Australian exports ) , some of that is coal

so IF China stops buying Australian coal , can we sell it to somebody else at a reasonable profit ( because we are too retarded to use the coal excess in Australia to manufacture goods to replace some imports , or to export complex products )

the problem is not China choosing not to buy our coal , the problem is Australia being too simple-minded to adapt to a new reality ( otherwise India would already be an equally important trading partner for our raw materials )
