Australia called for an independent investigation into the start of the Corona virus. As a result, China has banned meat shipments from 4 Australian abattoirs. They also put an 80% tariff on barley shipments. The meat ban sounds like a perfect opportunity for the US buy the shipments and tell China what to do with their attempted trade blackmail. The Chinese Communist Party needs to remember that they have now been in power longer than many of the previous dynasties. If they starve their people, they will be overthrown just like all their predecessors.
