Great to see our mainstream media all over this - if everything stated is in fact true Thumbs Down

BUCKLE UP AUSTRALIA, AND BRACE FOR IMPACT!

Social media images are showing an unprecedented traffic jam in the East China Sea as thousands of cargo ships have been brought to a standstill outside the port of Shanghai.
Ships can be seen standing all the way out to the open sea, several kilometres away.
Shanghai is one of China’s largest manufacturing centres and home to the largest container port in the world, with a major airport serving inbound and outbound air cargo.
Today, its factories and warehouses are closed, the roads are empty and the city’s port and airport have come to a complete halt.  
It’s not just Shanghai either.

In Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzen, tens of thousands of factories are either shut down or operating at reduced capacity.

Kunshan — a big production centre for electronics— is closed until late April. Part of Taicang, another manufacturing area in Jiangsu province, is also closed.

Volkswagen and Toyota shut down their manufacturing plants in Tianjin last week due to a lack of parts.  

Manufacturing hubs in Vietnam and Cambodia are also running out of vital Chinese-made components for their manufacturing.

Pharmaceutical companies in India, who source 70% of their active ingredients from China, say they are running out of supplies.

Within 60 days, stock everywhere is going to run down and it won’t be replaced – not for some time.  

Australia is probably one of the most China-dependent countries in the world.

Everything from our cars, agricultural machinery, iphones, computers, medical equipment and pharmaceuticals, comes from China.
It provides 90% of our fertilisers, 100% of our manganese, 86% of our semi-conductor imports, 82% of porcelain toilets/basins, 75% of lighting, 72% of generators and 69% of computers.

The list is virtually endless …
Australia makes virtually NOTHING – nothing useful anyway, and definitely not at scale.
We lost our whole industrial commons to China decades ago, and with it went our collective R&D and our engineering/manufacturing capabilities.

We lost suppliers, skilled trades, and all the product/process design and engineering know-how built up over generations.
Instead we became a ‘service’ economy.  ‘Services’ tied to the biggest and longest-running housing bubble in history.  All fuelled by debt.

Today, we are a net importer of processed fruit and vegetables.  A net importer of seafood and a net importer of steel.
That’s right.  We export iron ore and coal to China for processing into steel, then import it back for our construction industry.  
Go figure.

It all happened under the watch of three key Prime Ministers – Bob Hawke, Paul Keating and John Howard
Bob Hawke is dead, but Keating and Howard are very much alive.

I’d say BOTH of them have a lot of explaining to do.

Wisdom has been chasing me but I've always outrun it!

Here's a bit more relevant than Jokes tho' it was a line ball LOL

The Chinese will never invade Australia.   Here’s why. 

They’ll get to about Rockhampton and as their tanks and armoured vehicles etc need minor repairs their screwdriver heads will all burr off, their spanners will lose grip and their electric drills and other tools will just stop working. How do I know? I shop at Bunnings.

Are you ignorant and ill informed, according to PM Albanese PT and Max Manewarere about China?

Propaganda BS.

Traitorous even.....

You do have a mate in premier McGowan.

All the missiles and military hardware coming at you via WA iron ore.

How will your spin be?

Welcome back HS

Not before time either - the ratbaggery in this place is at fever pitch at the moment

Refer ALP Election Promises

A month must be an appropriate period of time to pass to come back and blame Albo for and hold him to account for the issues on China she refused to hold Morrison to account for.

#SAD.

What is that? Give them all the seaports, trade deals and grazing land/water resources they want, but be more careful accepting Rolexes and other gifts.?

Speak for yourself, I've missed him/her Smile

Calls someone Censored

Hello Sunny.... Tongue

still planning to sue me for posting lies?

You haven't been missed.

On reflection I decided that what you CLAIMED I called you, Censored

, was a reasonable description of yourself.

Your use of language reflects your mindset.

UNSAVOURY

I still have the screen shot of the original calling of me being a Censored

. Now I have a second piece of evidence of your rule-breaking language.

I think the mods aught to be warned this is definitely heading to litigation if action is not taken.

Desert War, Rain Lover, Latin Knight, Hay List, Mustard...my turf heroes...

So you think a cry to Craig warrants doing many out of the pleasure they get from TBV? Personally I find it a selfish attitude from someone crying 'poor me'.

Welcome back Isaac!

If you have the time, could you please clear something up for the forum. Are you male or female? And if the latter, why did you choose a male name (Isaac) as your original (that we know of) screen name?

Thanks for your help. Thumbs Up

Yes I am female and frankly almost ashamed to admit it as surrounded by d!ckhead females! Above poster a case in point.

They act as though threatened, but that is another story.....

Isaac was an old honest thoroughbred I had from a yearling

and Solomon his brother a better racehorse who died young; held a class and track record and then 2 weeks later dropped dead in work.

It is whare it deserves to be.
