Jobs lost with fears 'thousands' more could go as China widens Australian timber bans

[DiceAreCast]

Pretty weird for a guy who claims to ignore another user but then trolls him or her in the tech section, and here, and there...

Let's keep the topic on Australia - China shall we? Thanks

Not sure Volpunter despises China more than the US or Southern Europe, easy to recognize him, he comes up with a new handle, posts a lot, often in a very aggressive way and off topic, plus can`t help bringing Germany to almost any discussion.
Also busy I think in the tech parts of the forum, but I don´t check there, might have missed several of his handles. He changes handles fairly often
Jsop has been here for years, at least with that one handle, can´t say I´m impressed with the dude though, he came up with the allegation one couldn´t wire more than 500usd out of China while I was living there and able to wire out to overseas HSBC accts under my name up to 200k a day. He screamed Fault, than I posted the official link to HSBC Premier China where it explained how Global Transfer worked with their China based accounts, than rather to digest that single page of basic information, he called me a troll and put me on ignore. Duh... for sure the guy is not bothering with researching things out of his POV, But at least he´s been to China and has seen mopeds there. Could be worse I guess...but interesting insight on people´s thought process.

If you have such a hardon for other users why don't you open your own threads to discuss your issues in depth instead of hijacking others' threads? The issue @themickey brought up is an important one. Please do have that minimum amount of courtesy to move your personal attacks to your own thread. Thanks. On your way out how about a good reason why someone might want to be in HK despite disliking the local culture there: low taxes and competitive with LDN and NYC incomes in finance. I know a number such guys. You are welcome. Back to Australia.

Is this your forum? Is your name Baron? No? I will do as I please in an environment that welcomes free speech unlike Nazi Germany.

Speaking of hijacking, you went right off topic with your responses to @luisHK and me. So much for sticking to the topic when you get triggered eh volpunter?

Ah so you admit you are a masochist. Whatever floats your boat. Germans love whips and leather and that stuff.

Australia my friend. That's the topic here. Not your animosities with some other bloggers. And try to remain truthful, you came here and hijacked and attacked others personally.

Pushback on Xi’s vision for China spreads beyond US

In March 2019, Xi Jinping flew to Paris to meet French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and the then-president of the European Commission, Jean-Claude Juncker.

After toasting with flutes of Champagne, the Chinese president pressed the three leaders, according to an official present. A recent European Union policy paper had described China as a “systemic rival.” Did the Europeans really mean it?

Ms. Merkel demurred with a compliment for Mr. Xi, saying the language showed Europe recognized China’s growing strength and influence, the official said. Mr. Juncker cut the tension with a joke about the EU’s inability to agree on what China was. But Mr. Macron was blunt, the official recalled.

It’s true, the French president said. You are a rival.

A few weeks later, France sent a warship through the Taiwan Strait, provoking Beijing, which accused the frigate of illegally entering Chinese waters.

Inside China, Mr. Xi’s authority is increasingly seen as absolute. He has sidelined rivals, silenced dissidents and bolstered his popularity by promoting a resurgent China unafraid to assert its interests.

The biggest challenge to his vision for China comes not from within its borders but from other parts of the world, in nations whose views of Beijing have dramatically changed in just a few years.

Countries that once avoided upsetting Beijing are moving closer to Washington’s harder and largely bipartisan stance—to curb Chinese access to customers, technology and sensitive infrastructure.

Yes that is the topic. So why can't you stick to it? Instead you have histrionic outbursts replying to others instead of moving on.

I never attacked anyone personally directly in this thread. If you take offense at my comments about a 3rd party, it seems the offense lies with you.

My take, China is cutting off their nose to spite their face, but saying that, I'm not anti Chinese, in actual fact, like Chinese and Asians, but the CCP is leading China down a very dark road, they do their country a disservice and will shortly send themselves in the dark ages - then, once more, they will blame the West for all their fuckin' problems.
Australia will EASILY find new markets and then China will screw themselves over when we drive up the price we do business with them.
Australia is clamping down on allowing overseas Co's to buy into this country, especially non Western, you can thank China for that due to their unscrupulous business track record.
If I see an ASX Co with a Chinese director on it, or substantial holding, or substantial business dealing/sales (it's one of the first checks I make), I blacklist that Co. from my buy list.

Biden needs to coalesce the world to oust Xi and restore China to non-lifetime appointments.

This could be good for Canadian forestry companies. Check out Canfor.

This could be good for the trees in Australia. They won't have to die because the Great China doesn't want them from Australia no more.

good point. more trees mean more green.

similarly, if China bans Australia cow, the cow won't have to die.

less carbon footprint, less CO2 emission. China is really trying to protect Australia's environment, helping Australia to comply with the Paris Accord.

So the big unknown in this gambit will be the Biden administration.
