Another excellent article by Ben Harvey (container ship, 19/9).
He points out that Australia is a gnat compared to China. That we make serious money selling to China but that our trade is, to China, insignificant.
Yet, as Harvey points out, if we question China on its lack of democracy, on its brutal treatment of Hong Kong, even on coronavirus history, we are liable to be squashed like a gnat. China, Harvey tells us, is a bully which will not hesitate to employ "coercive diplomacy".
Finally, Harvey speaks to our major business leaders. They have strong opinions: we should kiss the Chinese boots because money is more important than a moral stance.
The message is, plutocrats will accept any immoral act, as long as the money continues to flow into their own already stuffed pockets.
