Also Nicholas Kristof running wild on New York Times today about China like a demented fox

I also noticed Nicholas Kristof talking about attacking Xi Jinping. In the last 4 days, media organizations have written opinion pieces on attacking Xi Jinping as the new China strategy. The idea is that Xi is the 'weak link' in China, a personality cult/dictatorship, and once you remove Xi, China will collapse. CIA apparently giving new directives to all media organizations. I believe it was WaPo and other media organizations that also mentioned attacking Xi Jinping. Really CIA has just issued a fresh batch of directives to media organizations.

Way too few people are reading that article.

The guy is delusional if he thinks india can replace China as major buyer of australian exports lol
does he even knows that india has more trade barriers for agricultural imports into the country?
Nah... It’s possible for agricultural imports... remember how India recently passed some laws to screw over their farmers and the farmers are now protesting... if it continues long term then India might not have enough agricultural products to feed it’s people, well they never had enough in the first place but my point is it would get worst... therefore they might be forced to relax the barriers so the rich and elites don’t stave or have to change their lifestyle in the least whilst continuing to extract what they can out of India...

India gets to add another sector they are dependent on foreign imports and score some cheap diplomatic points at the expense of their people and industries once again... the politicians and ministers can also get some sweet take on the side

Australia get to bandaid the lost of their biggest export customers, due to stupid politicians, and do what they do best, screwing over some poor farmers in a third world country... they can be proud they stuck it to China and pat themselves on the back.

And everyone is happy... apart from of course the poor Indians who can’t afford the imported food and the Australian who will inevitably lose their jobs due to being unable to match prior export numbers... but other than that everybody lives happily ever after...

Really? Like what Agricultural Products? I do not see much overlap.
As you mentioned, the only way that can happen is if India screw their own wheat farmers and Russia. And it does not even count as much.

India does not have much demand for Australian agricultural products.

I thought my post was dripping with enough sarcasm, I am sorry I have failed... but on a more serious note... as the Indians government seems to be intent on screwing over their farmers... perhaps those wheat, barley and rice exports from Australia might come in handy to the Indians...

Sorry I missed the Sarcasm.

I also missed the part on how many Indian rice farmer can be screwed.

Scomo's days are numbered, given that last year was already bad, this year is not going to be good for him and neither will it be good for India as both nations place too much faith in the USA. Should Biden fail, this will force both nations to think carefully on who they want to piss off next

I also think that Scomo’s days are numbered... but the general political landscape of Australia probably won’t change their stance anytime soon, the media is still going on a ‘Australia is winning the trade war campaign’ and the politicians are kind of stuck... plus by all indications India and Australia is very intent to continue their Quad alliance BS, but it’s not just faith in US, India without question is having delusions of being an economic superpower while Australia is more survival with defiance and staking on India, no matter how misguided that might be... I agree that should Biden fail then it going to be a bad time for both India and Australia, so we will have to see how Biden will play the game... the only major concern that I see is that the democrats always use more insidious methods, not just the usual CIA/intelligence BS and much harder to read than the republican’s straight forward actions and rhetoric of human rights blah, blah...
