Beijing orders power plants to stop buying Australian coal
www.dailymail.co.uk
Authorities in Beijing have reportedly told state-owned power plants to buy coal from inside China instead of from Australia, the Sydney Morning Herald reported.
China earlier banned Australian beef and slapped an 80 per cent tax on barley in the wake of Canberra's calls for an inquiry into the origins of the coronavirus pandemic.
Australia's coal industry, which brings in tens of billions of dollars to the Australian economy, may be next in facing tougher restrictions.
Australia exported 4.3million tons of coal to China in March, an increase of 105 per cent from March 2019.
Despite China not yet confirming the ban, analysts and industry insiders told the SMH that Beijing has warned state-owned power plants to not purchase Australian coal.
News began to circulate among traders following a meeting of China's National Development and Reform Commission.
'Either in that meeting or after that meeting, apparently five major state-owned utilities are said to have been directed to stop buying new cargoes of Australian thermal coal,' Wood Mackenzie's Asia-Pacific head of coal Rory Simington said.
'The idea that the government has is that the utilities will switch to buying domestic coal to support the industry, but we think it's more likely that the utilities will look to buy additional Russian coal or Indonesian coal.'
Another analyst told the paper that traders are being told to opt for Russian coal over Australian coal.

Depends if your government bends the knee instead of giving the finger.
China needs us more than we need them. But it is a huge problem regardless.
Mathais Cormann says we should all lolcalmdown tho. Cormann isn't someone I'd put my trust in whatsoever, tbh.
I love that people think this wasn't the whole purpose of the virus though and is just coming about from questioning China. No.
Like I've been saying from day one - The whole purpose of the virus was to disrupt everywhere that isn't China.
It was to disrupt the Asiatic region - Japan and Korea for not capitulating to trade agreements, Hong Kong and Taiwan to punish them for their belligerence, Thailand, Vietnam et al for the Mekong related fight backs. India for daring to become a new power player on the global stage.
Australia for not bending the knee further to the BRI.
The US and it's environs for Trump. Etc etc etc.
It was to send a message - China is the boss. We have the WHO and the UN on our side. We have major news corps, universities and political figures over our knee. It's so frustrating that all of this is going on and still we have people who don't get that by virtue of their whole CCP belief - China thinks the rest of the world is a pointless cesspit of humanity to be taken over.
It'll hurt for a bit, but it's going to be clear to any sentient halfwit that China's blatantly doing this as revenge. Thing is, one or two things, okay, it's possible.
But now we're at 4 things, not to mention the Chinese ambassador's 'comments', or Coronavirus-fuelled ramblings.
And other countries are going to have to wonder, why is China being so defensive over a neutral, independent probe?
The Ausfailians standing up to the Chinks? What's next, they get internet that's actually usable?
Australia Derangement Syndrome continues to infest China.
'You will feel more pain': China's chilling new threat to devastate Australia's economy if it supports the U.S. in a 'new cold war'
Chinese state media has threatened Australia with new economic sanctions if it supports the United States as tensions with Beijing escalate.
The US said on Friday it would ban trade with 33 Chinese companies in a move that could signal the start of a 'new cold war', according to Chinese media.
An article in the state-controlled Global Times said that Australia should keep quiet like India and stay out of the spat to avoid becoming collateral damage.
The article said that China will punish Australia more harshly than the US because it is less economically dependent on Australia.
The US is China's number one export market whereas Australia is 14th.
The article said: 'China will enjoy more room to fight back against Australia with countermeasures if Canberra supports Washington in a possible "new Cold War".
'It means Australia may feel more pain than the US.'
The editorial said President Trump was targeting China to distract from his handling of the coronavirus pandemic which has killed 97,000 Americans.
'The Trump administration is fomenting trouble to deflect its woes over its mishandling of the coronavirus onto China,' it said.
'There is no need for other countries, such as Australia, to involve themselves in this ridiculous political play.'
The Global Times believes Australia is merely a 'lap dog' being used to further American interests and last week claimed the US coerced Canberra into calling for an inquiry into the origins and spread of coronavirus.
Last month Beijing became infuriated by Australia's calls for an independent inquiry into the origins of the virus, believing that it was a 'malicious' attempt to blame and 'stigmatize' China.
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said the US 'stands with Australia'.
Mr Morrison has repeatedly insisted the two countries are 'great mates' and their alliance is strong.
The 33 companies the US blacklisted have been accused of helping Beijing spy on its minority Uighur population or having ties to weapons of mass destruction and China's military.
Seven companies and two institutions were listed for being 'complicit in human rights violations and abuses committed in China's campaign of repression, mass arbitrary detention, forced labor and high-technology surveillance against Uighurs' and others, the Commerce Department said in a statement.
Two dozen other companies, government institutions and commercial organizations were added for supporting procurement of items for use by the Chinese military, the department said in another statement.

What could Trump give the Australians just to spite China? Faster internet? More Internet Historian uploads? Cure chlamydia from koalas?
Well, we already invented faster internet, and we've worked out how to cure chlymidia. (Fire.)
All he'd have to do is treat us better then China, which is not exactly a tough goal atm.

Gotta love that capitalism that the commies all tell me is rampant in the good old CCP.
A willing market for beef and other food exports, seeing as people keep saying that there will be a food shortage come autumn: couple this with so many goddamned tariffs on Chinese exports that it becomes impossible for those in the CCP to so much as sell a faulty USB cable on eBay to a US citizen for a quick buck.
I thought these people were supposed to be good at PR? Masters of information or some shit like that?
Maybe they've literally been locked in their apartments this whole time and are going stir crazy.
Because it relies on fewer assumptions to say that China caused an outbreak in its own nation that spread globally through their own sheer incompetence and short-sighted thinking that they then later decided to take advantage of. Billing this as a grand mastermind conspiracy as though the CCP is this powerful efficient and hypercompetant machine at anything other than oppressing their own people is asinine. I again assert that if this were a planned release it wouldn't have occurred in the middle of a major metropolitan area in the Chinese interior in the vicinity of a viral research laboratory that just screams smoking gun.
"Decided to take advantage of" is the name of the game. People think the US Coronavirus response was orchestrated to take Trump down come election time, but you're telling me the Democrats and MSM got their shit together for an unexpected disease when they've failed to take him down with everything they ostensibly did plan out (ex: Russiagate)? No, I think politicians turned into little Dear Leaders because the opportunity presented itself. Bonus points if they can oppose Trump while they're at it..
The CCP massively fucked up, then made the situation worse because they wanted to save face. Look at the first few posts in the Coronavirus megathread, someone was expressing relief they didn't cover it up like SARS. But they weren't actually honest, they lied to look good about it and then actively fought against other countries taking precautions until it was too late. Their main priority is looking like they have it under control and that the outbreak isn't their fault. One of the Cs in CCP should stand for crybully. That was their response to media acknowledging Hong Kong and Taiwan and now it's their response to other countries wanting to investigate the source of the virus.
China's new trade threat: Communist regime puts $16BILLION in natural gas exports on the line as it ramps up attacks on Australia over COVID inquiry
Chinese state media has warned that Beijing could buy less Australian natural gas if tensions between the countries escalate.
The communist superpower has imposed a tax on barley and banned some Aussie beef in apparent acts of retaliation after the Morrison government called for an inquiry into coronavirus.
On Tuesday night the state-controlled Global Times newspaper warned that Australian natural gas could be targeted next.
One analyst told the newspaper that China could buy more from Qatar and the US instead.
'Australia's LNG market share in China is likely to fall in the coming years, ceding market share to the US and Qatar, should Canberra's tensions with China continue,' the analyst said.
In January Australia overtook Qatar to become the world's largest exporter of gas with exports totalling $49 billion in 2019. Some $16billion of that went to China.

Beijing leaps to defend Daniel Andrews over Victoria's controversial Belt and Road deal with China
China's Melbourne consulate has hit back at critics of a controversial infrastructure deal with the Victorian government, describing the widespread backlash as an unwarranted attack.
Victoria Premier Daniel Andrews has come under heavy fire for signing Beijing's trillion dollar Belt and Road Initiative agreement without the final tick of approval from the foreign affairs department.
The deal signed last October has sparked anger from the federal government, claiming the partnership undermines Australia's national interests as tensions between the two countries continue to rise.
China's Melbourne consulate has hit back at the 'negative remarks' over President Xi Jinping's signature policy and has jumped to the defence of the Victorian government on its website.
'The negative remarks against the 'Belt and Road' initiative, as well as the questioning and criticism of China's cooperation with Victoria in the 'Belt and Road' initiative, are obviously distorted interpretations, unwarranted attacks and deliberate discredit for political purposes, and they do not really care about the benefits of 'Belt and Road' cooperation brought to the people of both sides,' a statement in Chinese read.
'China is Victoria's largest trading partner, and the two sides signed a Memorandum of Understanding to jointly promote the construction of the 'Belt and Road', which provided a powerful assistance for promoting practical cooperation in various fields.'
Another statement from a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson posted on the consulate's website on Tuesday added that the economic cooperation initiative has brought tangible benefits.
'The successful cooperation between China and the Australian state of Victoria under the BRI framework was determined and implemented by the two sides through friendly consultation with a view to improve the well-being of the people. It is completely reasonable, lawful and aboveboard,' the statement reads.
'The groundless accusations made by some Australian politicians are totally untenable. They only expose their negligence of the Australian people's interests and their sinister intentions of damaging China-Australia relations.'
'We hope relevant people on the Australian side will bear in mind the interests of their own people, discard ideological prejudices and do more to promote mutual trust and cooperation between China and Australia, rather than the contrary.'
It comes as Premier Andrews defended his state's relationship with China and said the agreement was about securing jobs and boosting investment in the state.
'What that (relationship) means is our exports are up 62 per cent in the last five years, our visitors - so, tourists - are up 70 per cent in the last five years and our international student numbers are up 50 per cent from China in the last five years,' he told reporters on Wednesday.
'I'm not quite sure what people are suggesting, rather we have a good relationship with China or we have a bad one, or we send less product to China, rather than more.'
'If that's the approach people want to take well, that will cost jobs. It's very simple.
He also defended his government's handling of the initiative without the final approved from the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade.
'The first agreement was sent to DFAT in draft form. The second agreement is simply an extension of the first agreement,' Premier Andrews said.
'That's the nature of an agreement that is tied to the principle agreement.'

Has anyone told the Chinese its a terrible idea to not buy fuel for power plants? China's going to have to pay a premium on NG now, one they couldn't afford before Corona-chan's blessings. Also, leaving those cucks in Victoria aside, I can't imagine the average Aussie is happy with the Chinese acting like their country is a two-bit nation that can be bullied. Knowing Aussies, they'll spit in the eyes of China just to prove they're better than the sheep-fuckers off their coast.
Yeah, preliminary poll's saying 65% support Australia over China, and there's also a growing push for us to start to retaliate.
