China shoots itself in the foot

It’s a click bait headline, but still pretty good. Click above for the video 
This is a year old, but still a pretty decent summary of China's bullying of Australia over the call for an investigation into the origin of Covid. As in “we have nothing to hide. How dare you call for an investigation.”

China never bought Australian coking coal, steaming coal, iron ore, lithium, seafood and wines as a favour to Australia. It did it because they needed and wanted these things. The only people they hurt were Chinese. Australia meanwhile quickly pivoted and found other markets. If you look at the historical GDP charts for this period for Australia, as I did a while back, you can hardly see a blip from the Chinese thuggery.

China deserves to suffer for this thuggish act. They still are.
