Wow. You go, Nine. Publishing straight propaganda from the Chinese embassy now.
China is offering to work with Australia to boost trade and defend growth in response to tariffs imposed by US President Donald Trump in a new bid to find common ground when the world is spiralling into a catastrophic trade war.
The Chinese government is asking Australia to “join hands” with China to defend global trade in response to the American trade barriers – which Trump announced overnight would rise to an unprecedented 125 per cent for China – while blasting Trump for inflicting “sabotage” on international rules.

Sure, let’s do that. Here’s the price.

In short, it is the end of Nine as a journalism outfit.
It is almost worth it.
The one good thing about the Trump trade war is how much harm it will do to the Chinese economy, especially now that it’s being singled out for pain.
Does nobody remember the flotilla that just sailed around Australia practicing nuking our cities?
