- Well that video was very informative and interesting. Sorry if it was boring compared to my other reactions. Thank you for watching me, a humble American, react to How Australia Is Crashing the World Economy!

I wish these clips showed the Australian flag when talking about Australia and not the New Zealand flag. SMH
It's an American show - they are too dumb to know the difference!
Yes.
Never underestimate the depths of ignorance makers of UA-cam videos will sink to.
They do look very similar
Came here to see if someone pointed that out. Thanks.
At 16:13 when Ryan says “Look at those buildings, look at the infrastructure” he thinks that is China. That is the Sydney Opera house in AUS mate. The image after that is Melbourne 😅
14:00 is the New Zealand Flag
If you go back and watch that bit again, he was still amazed that with all the smart accomplishments in ancient Chinese history, including buildings and infrastructure, how could they not realise that they were about to shoot themselves in the foot by revoking the coal purchase agreement. He didn’t seem to be watching the screen as it changed to a view of the Sydney Opera House. He was quite right in what he was still saying about the political short-sightedness.
It was a little more complicated than that with Australia starting to slam the breaks on Chinese investment in Australia among other things.
Australian coal is higher quality and has less impurities so power companies and industries installed machinery that could take best advantage of this Chinese coal is lower quality and has more impurities and the new machinery just wouldn't run on it.
This is the global economy at work. back in the 40's a car company in America (remember when you had an auto industry) made a car most of it was made in the US from the steel in the body to the tiers on the wheel (true the rubber was imported) but today the same company import most of the part form the steel to the tiers and the companies that make those parts would get the stuff to make from all over.
Russia has run into that problem their tank repair facility has shut down because the parts it needs are imported and the world is going to start to feel the pinch because Ukraine exports a LOT grain and there are now shortages.
Governments have to realise that we are all connected so stop trying to measure your dicks and learn to work together.
Good luck with that. Between NATO, Russian Federation, PRC and USA playing a game of whose ass is gonna be left hanging out it's not looking great.
Exactly. China is still buying our coal and other exports but they are buying it from India who are buying it from us so all they accomplished with their temper tantrum is to pay more and Australia now has more export partners 😂.
Tyres?
Why do you think Russia went into the Ukraine? It's the 'bread bowl" for starters, and secondly has a great port. Russia knows "winter is coming"...
No need to work together with Russia, she can be left out in the cold when this is how she acts in the world!
what i find odd is that many countries seemed to want to investigate china and the origin of covid but china seemed to only get big mad at australia.
There was more to it than that. The new government isn't as bad. The conservatives are gone.
@@janeenharris3074 There is alot more than Liberal & Labor, China issued a list of demands to Australia that had to be met in order to keep on Chinas "Good Side". Most notably was allow Huawei to buils our 5G Network (Australia lead the world in banning Huawei as there were concerns over "backdoor features that may have allowed China to gather digital data and interupt internet supply if it wanted too.) Fun fact: China financed the Papua New Guinea Governments IT upgrade building supposedly secure data communications between Gov departments, Health, Law & Order etc. nationwide. It was proven that it was severley corrupted and had to be replaced fully. This was most likely a backdoor attempt to gather info on Australia, as PNG is highly reliant on Aussie Govt. support through foreign aid. China also demanded that Australia repeal foreign interference laws in Australian politics as it was proven that they had "bought" politicians influence. So far the Labor Government is doing a far better than antincipated job in maintaining our sovereign interest and fighting the CCP incursion attempts in the Sth Pacific.
That's because we were the loudest in insisting that China's role in the origins of covid needed to be investigated. China is also trying to enlarge its power base and field of influence in the south pacific and Australia is a threat to this.
At the point where we called for an investigation, the rest of the world had out of control covid & really didn't have much focus at all on China. Australia had covid eliminated & was ready to go in for a ful blown investigation call & that freaked them out & even just the fact that Australia had covid controlled was seen as a threat to their propaganda of them being superior in covid management. Also, read between the lines as to what happened in Wuhan, countries like the US clearly payed the ransom demands to get all it's citizens out, Australia paid only a very small amount & then left our citizens there rather than paying the rest, so that was conserning them as well. Look at what supplies of things like n95's the US had at the start of it, a LOT of their supplies went missing! The day before our plane landed in Wuhan, a plane full of PPE & medical equipment left Perth for China. Same in every country, those that got their citizens out had massive amounts of PPE, ventilators etc leaving their countries in secret flights. If you look this stuff I'm saying up, I've given enough info here that it will show on a search engine to confirm it's real, not a nutcase conspiracy. Citizens in Wuhan were only allowed to board planes to their home country once ransoms in the form of PPE etc, were paid for them
Because they could not afford to block imports from the whole world so they made an example out of Australia, NZ took the hint and refused to condemn china.
The Australia China trade war has been going on since the mid 2010's and so far Australia seems to be winning even though they are a smaller economy. Every time China imposes a new sanction on Australia they have seemed to be able to find a new trading partner for that resource. whilst China has had to pay exceptionally more to replace that resource. Australia since 2010 has gone from 10 most powerful economy in the world to now having a seat in the G8 for most powerful economies.
the advantage Australia has over most countries is that we are one of the largest natural resource countries and our mining sector dominates the world.
We don't have a seat in the G8?
yeah, doesnt china ban australian products, then australia sells to somewhere like india, who then on sell it to china at a mark up?
@@whatwhatinthewhat4400 - That happens: but we get paid, India rakes the pot and China pays more. Everyone's a winner.
@@whatwhatinthewhat4400 yup. Do everybody making bank but China.
Dude you are a knob. !! Australia is a large economy but is ranked 13th biggest economy in the world ! Stop thinking you are someone you are not
Ryan, you asked if there is different coal, the answer is yes. In Australia we have both Thermal Coal, for power production and metallurgical coal used to make steel. In the case of Thermal coal there are different grades of coal. This is important because to maximise the productivity of a power station you need the right blend, so like coffee beans the coal needs to be blended to the right specification. This is done at the point of export and is the main reason for delays to shipping movements
thats not true 100% there are 4 types of coal the one that is used for making steel and shit is called coking coal you dont use it to make power cause its combustion properties are different (think petrol vs diesel you dont mix them) they need the coking coal to melt metal gold and copper so they can make iphones tvs etc which is what their entire economy is based on they have no problems making power they only import coking coal not thermal
A lot of people(ie Greenies) forget a large proportion of Australian coal exported is for metallurgical processes. They can't understand that the stainless steel and basic items like knives and forks are a result of this process. Let them use wood till they deforest an area.
just fyi when u were saying how Asians are smart and they have such nice buildings? well that was Australia you were looking at there not china.
The flag shown at 3:19 is actually the flag of New Zealand.
I came to say that as well
So many people have said it now I’m here to say just shut up
Show the credibility of internet videos
The irony is that China had already paid for the coal so Australia was abiding by the contract, all this to save face 😏
China has already reached out to the new government. Relationships may warm.
They're certainly gold medal winning dummy spitters for sure 🏅
But we got to sell it again, to India - and they sold it to? CHINA! For a higher price of course. Well done China!
the irony is Coal is arrive to pay which they got no chance to dock. And none of this video is true, Chinese economy performs really well after lockdown
Great point ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍🏻
As a child I remember someone saying beware of China but now that has changed and China had better beware of Australia
Ah no China is far more powerful than us and are willing to play the long game even if it hurts them
Ryan, FYI @16:17 this is a view of Sydney Harbour with the Sydney Opera House in the foreground - and NOT China.
And yes, it is beautiful!
14:00 That is not even an Aussie flag they put up there. LOL That's a NZ one. The Australian flag doesn't have red stars with white borders. Just white stars, and the Aussie flag has 7 pointed stars not 5 pointed, and the Aussie flag has 6 stars and the NZ one has 4.
Ryan, note too Australia has huge reserves of natural gas as well, and we sell that to China for 4 cents a litre. Also most of the world's iron ore and uranium is from downunder as well. I am a toy designer and manufacturer, and this drama in China delayed production on one of my jobs, for over 7 months. Note at approx 14 minutes, the video shows the New Zealand flag NOT the Australian one.
How much does Australia sell gas to Australians?
@@tinfoilhomer909 about 100 times that!
I was watching a Chinese made TV series; (modern type, recent production); and on the TV screen in the living room was a news item telling people that "today you can buy X amount of pork" from state govt sponsored providers (or similar wording). That's when I fully realized how constrained citizens there were in getting essentials like food. The govt would "release" X amount of (pork, in this example) to the people, and it was whoever got in first got some. Otherwise...it was just like Russia. People lining up for hours for one loaf of bread kind of thing. Let's hope western countries don't imitate this. When your govt controls the food, they control the people, yes?
@@flowerpower8722 "Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely." Really, the underlying issue to any "out of balance" societal system is fear and greed.
remember right after the lamb ban, they introduced food wastage laws. if you are a restaurant and a guest doesnt finish their meal, you have to deliver them a fine, or you could be fined by the government. if your meals were so big that most people wouldnt finish them, then youd get the fine.
When you said China has some nice buildings etc that was Sydney, Australia with the Sydney Opera House. Also they showed the NZ flag instead of the aussie one
Haha whoops. Well then, Australia has the nicest buildings
@@ryanreaction instead of learning about us on videos come over and have conversations with us.
"The port of Queensland" ??
Haha, yes and then they showed Surfers Paradise!
Here's a point of interest. Australia is doing fine. We have no food shortages & the costs of fuel have raised but by 25% at most. Our economy is doing fine.
Australian FM is currently in China, cap in hand, begging China to reset the relationship.

It’s great to see you learning about our country. Love watching you😁
I agree ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍🏻here here🇦🇺
I like your show a lot, lol.. but you commented so many times, I couldn't follow what he was saying. I had to find and watch the original video..rofl. Thanks heaps, 😊 for your compassionate and thoughtful reactions to all the videos I've seen of yours. Have a great week and stay safe. Good bless from Australia.
Aussie here. Personally I don't think we should be exporting fossil fuels whatsoever. Our coal should be used in manufacturing, and we should have a massive renewable industry - especially making solar panels, given we have literally every resource needed for them right here. Australia gets screwed in so many of our trade deals because companies can manipulate the system to pay almost no Australian taxes.
Frankly, I want Australia to have little to no reliance on the rest of the world for our economic stability or resource production.
The 2000 Olympics were the greenest ever at the time, Sydney Uni was the leading solar research centre. A Chinese student stole the tech and took it back to China which went on to become a solar panel superpower. When the head professor was interviewed years later and asked about this he said that it was good for the world, Australia missed and massive opportunity but the professor said that because of China making the panels cheaper more people can afford solar. Our own attitudes are our worst enemy !!!
So we should become isolationist like China? Let them keep the dirty industries that mean they can hardly breathe and we will just keep growing stuff. MUCH better for us!
But will you work for a dollar a day?
@@urbanpermie6307 If my rent was 30c and gas was 5c, sure.
Spot on mate, we are not investing in our own future.
Hi from OZ. I like your thoughtful style.
FYI the USA had a similar sad story of a bird species becoming extinct, partly from hunting. The Passenger Pigeon.
(Side note: A sleeping giant in economic doom is our housing bubble here in Australia and the foreign investment tied up in it. Whilst its burst wouldn't impact global markets as much as the GFC, it will cause disruption)
Me thinks the sparrow was a scapegoat for mismanagement.
Yes you do need a specific type of coal from us Aussies to use in manufacturing. Australian coal has a high thermal capacity. You need less of it and it burns longer more efficient to use. The Chinese use it to manufacture absolutely everything. So it wasn’t just our coal it was meat, red wine , seafood and grains also .But they are using Hong Kong as a back door to let this stuff in. The Chinese like Australian products because they feel they are organic and healthy. At one stage we had to increase our production of baby formula because it was being bought by Chinese living here and they were sending it at a huge profit . If they had got off their high horse they would have found Australia would have just increased their exports to China- but nope ( now they seem to be relaxing restrictions because they’ve been bitten on the arse.
He said they’re so smart and then said look at the buildings they’re beautiful 🤓 whilst it’s was actually Sydney, Australia!
Wow
If you go back to that moment, you’ll realise that Ryan wasn’t looking at the screen when the Opera House came into view. He was still commenting on the past accomplishments that China had made when he said “Look at the buildings and the infrastructure”. He couldn’t get over how they could be so short-sighted about revoking the coal purchase”.
Your comments were the best. Enjoyed watching it.
Heh. At 13:19 the flag displayed is that of New Zealand, not Australia.
Australian economy was HEAVILY reliant on exports to China - especially coal. They didn't just stop the coal. They wanted to hurt Australia and they knew just where to squeeze. This is a big lesson - for every country; not to ignore Grandma's advice: about "not putting all your eggs in one basket". One trip and... Clearly they didn't think about the flow-on longer term effects - to themselves. I'm not sure WHAT they thought the end point might be. Beginning to think - they didn't think...
For eg; overnight they shut down the Crayfish Industry here in Tasmania. Thousands of tons of Live Export Crays - held up & expired denied entry. ( OK they were gonna die anyway! but-- you know what I mean ). Then; the Wine Industry; a huge market closed just like that. Wool - Beef - the list goes on. Many Australian industries, from large to niche specialities, had China as their Primary Customer.
And it's not just about power production and manufacturing capacity, it's also about meat. The Beef market was substantial - but China has a huge preference for Pork and now, with culling tens of millions pigs due to swine fever, pork is also in very short supply.
And Why?
Because the WORLD wanted a deeper investigation into how COVID 19 mutated out of the animal world and jumped to humans - in China. China then leapt up all offended and screeched;"How dare you say it came from here! We say an American brought it over here - so they could blame us!" {Yeah Right... }
Everyone Knew it came out of that Wet - live animal meat- Market and got away from them before they realised how serious it was. What infectious disease specialists wanted to do was find out just HOW it mutated and thereby HOW to prevent any more Novel Viruses (Viruses previously not in the human population - and therefore no resistance ) from doing the same.
For eg; Very early on Virologists and other infectious diseases specialists told us that the specific bat population it (allegedly} originated in [ before it jumped to a couple of other species - mutating happily all the way - until it gained the capacity to jump to ours,] has a 'viral reservoir 'of over 2,000 different Covid viruses. Now THERE's a reassuring thought isn't it! Wouldn't it benefit the world - China included - if the top infectious disease specialists from all over the globe were given access to ALL the data and assisted in their studies with Chinese scientists to get ahead of all this? But no. China kept screeching in it's paranoid defensive way, eventually giving the WHO representatives a useless minimalist meet and greet, and then shooed them out of the country - saying; "See! We've cooperated'!
REALLY Helpful. Where to from here?
A lot of countries now seeking other permanent alternative markets, including starting to develop / redevelop manufacturing capacities - but the run up to all this is very lengthy.
Lot more fall out to come from these extraordinarily stupid decisions.
What they did was failed to research or understand Australian culture, they treated Australia as the dog of the US & they had seen the division in the US & assumed they could create the same in Australia & destroy Australia & make Australian polititians bow down & apologise to them & become China's dog. They should have done some basic research into Australia's history to understand we weren't going to react the same way as the US & break within weeks & become their lapdog. Really dumb of them!
While Covid19 *might* have come out of China, there is plenty to suggest it could have come from the US, and the trump administration was DEFINITELY covering up just as much as China was.
The strain that first hit Europe was different from the one in China, and the case zero in many if not all European countries had no connection to China, but several had contact with the US (either recently returned from the US or had visitors from there) The US seems to have had both strains from the start, suggesting it had already been in the population long enough to mutate before it was being reported as covid.
Trump was plainly lying when he said the US only had 15 cases. At that time, Australian immigration officials had detected about that many cases arriving in Aus from the US. There were only one or two arrived from China with it. Quite clearly there were already thousands of undetected/unreported cases in the US.
I wish China had allowed full scientific research at the start as that would now be part of the world data and helpful in mapping the history and origins.
I buy Australian owned and manufactured as much as I can. I’d rather keep our jobs and our dollars on our own soil.
The voal used in making voal is called Coking coal (unsure of the spelling) which Australia has in high volumes.
They have a photograph format now that stores several frames and morph animates the photo. It is typically subtle.
I love the fact that the flag flying in this video was the New Zealand flag.
“Look at these buildings, beautiful” (re:China)
Points to The Sydney Opera House!
🧐🤣🤷♀️👍🏻🥰
Australia, more important in the general scheme of things than many would admit?
Ye. The quarry of the world.
Being a miner, there are 2 different types of coal, there's thermal, or cooking, ones for cooking, ones for high pressure for metal works aka. Thermal, just burns hotter and more efficiently
Coking coal is used for steel manufacturing. It is cleaner (less ash) and burns much hotter than thermal coal (used for power stations). Australian thermal coal tends to be cleaner than some other countries too.
Steel making uses coal primarily to produce CO gas to chemically strip impurities from the ore, rather than to generate heat. The high impurities in thermal coal can be compensated for by more coal. Impurities in coking coal need to be chemically scrubbed from the stream or the steel will be shit.
I worked as a Fitter for a ship Engineering company in the Coal Port of Gladstone for 8 years plus in the Mine industry. The First thing everyone should know is NONE of those ships is an Australian ship, In Fact, Australia virtually has No ships registered as owned by Australia that have a little Aussie Flag on it. Australia has about 2 or 3 ships and they work in Australia as Bauxite Carriers that makes Aluminium in Gladstone. Those 60 ships are ALL foreign-owned and the majority of workers ( about 22 to 25 people to a crew ) are Asian workers and a few ships are European crewed but not many, they are crewed by people from all over china and Asia PLUS BHP owns the Mines and Coal which is mostly British owned so Brits are cashed up but Australians do get paid huge wages in heavy Industry( My Wages were about $14.000 a month ) plus the Aussie government taxes BHP plus all the royalties made so we fair pretty well out of it. The Australian government last year went into a mad Panic which they are still Panicking about realizing that Australia doesn't own any ships which is a major problem as they are mainly CHINESE Built and Korean Built these days the Koreans are making Super Carriers and Tankers, But how stupid is our government for Just assuming all the ships they see are Australian owned 😵💫😵💫This is what happens when a Pig Farmer decides to become a Politician. Most are absolute Morons and should not run a small business out of a white Van let alone a huge Ministerial Portfolio in the Australian Parliament! CRIKEY! Thank the Green Elephant Scott Morrison is gone before he picked on another Superpower. He had Small Man Syndrome and was a little retarded IMO
Well said
I'm watching this video while crossing the Sydney Harbour Bridge in a bus looking up at the Opera House.
Australian coal,coking coal and iron ore are all necessary for China’s steel manufacturing.
"Many may die, but that is a sacrifice I am willing to make"
Um, China wouldn't let our ships leave their waters, they were playing games with the coal!!
that flag is new Zealand
True about the birds. I have seen B & W from the period. Peasants across the country would bang pots and pans, freighting birds, who fall would from the sky from exhaustion, because they cannot perch.
the part when you were talking about how smart china is and how good their architecture is cuz you were pointing to a building that looked cool in China, that building was actually the Sydney Opera House which is in Australia
theres no way he didnt know that.
That's what happens with a government where nobody can say "Stop that's a stupid idea"
Shipping companies will often leave crews to rot while they wait for commodity prices to rise. The cost of what's in the ship is weighed over many things like how much profit the ship could be loosing by not shipping other material during that time and what the crew salaries over that time are.
The Chinese government wouldn’t let the ship either unload or exchange the crew…
@@allangibson2408 the ship still had the option to go to Japan/Phillipines/PNG/Vietnam or elsewhere to change crews or take on supplies. But that would risk not being there if the Chinese port opened.
Oh, and there are a number of types of coal, of which brown [lignite] and black [bitumenous] are among the most common. Bituminous coal is the one used primarily for electrical power generation and steel manufacturing. Queensland and NSW have large deposits of black coal, although there are other areas around Australia which also have deposits.
They actually should have said: NO SOUP FOR YOU. and sailed home.
You need coking coal to make steel. Referd to as metallurgical coal
What's more trippy are the pointy mountains in the background behind the girl.
There are 2 separate grades of coal - coking coal and thermal coal. Coking coal burns to produce higher temperatures that are needed for producing things like steel. Thermal coal burns cooler and just has to convert water to steam to drive turbines, so it is more abundant. Australia has both but a lot of other places only have thermal coal. Its a similar thing with iron ore - iron is super abundant in the earth's crust but only a few places like Australia and Brazil have very high grades with few impurities that are easy to extract and get to port, so we've just about got that whole market tied up. The Brazilians are further away from China, so to compete they built these massive ships that have caused a lot of problems when they get stuck in the middle of a major port and close things down for a few months. Australia's also the biggest exporter of lithium and its around number 1 and 2 for lots of other mined materials like aluminium and gold.
There is also a great variety in the quality of the coal within these grades. Australian coal is about as good as it gets.
Coal black anthracite is the cleanest & most efficient type of coal.
Bloody stubbornness can backfire on arrogant idiots.
As Nelson would say "Ha Ha".
Australian products are required in other countries.
12:00 min. How much was that coal worth? Anywhere between $5million and $30 million per ship depending on cargo size and grade of coal.
Yeah, big trading relationships usually help prevent war. It's not good to have trade rifts.
I would imagine there would be a refuelling issues for the Australian ships because they weren't able to dock. The Eastern cultures have a 'shameface' culture so they cannot admit wrongdoing. We have a western understanding of these situations. They are also communist and have a very different ideological direction than the west. To weaken their resolve is just not in their DNA.
Isn't that the flag of New Zealand? Australia has 5 stars.
Yes, I Agee, we need more balance, less division, less economic sanctions, less war, and more diplomacy/ compromise.....esp. with the most powerful countries like China, USA, Russia, the EU, and the Uk....cheers...

That's not our flag, that's NZ flag 🇦🇺
There's no "port of Queensland". There's an Australian state of Queensland, roughly twice the size of Texas.
The same thing that happened to US heavy industry and manufacturing, also happened across the EU and UK.
However, those countries are still in possession of large mineral deposits, while Asian stockpiles are gradually being depleted. Eastern economies were doomed to fail long before the pandemic.
There's different grades of coal.

Just because the ships were stranded out there, it's not a guarantee that the crews were, they have the ability to change crews on ships even if the ships are stranded like that....
Your right -" they gotta grow up"
I remember as a child hearing my elders saying beware of china.
but now it has flipped China should beware of Australia
im not entirey sure but i dont think the ships have enough fuel to go back. they have enough to take a load there and come back empty, with some reserves, but not enough to make a round trip fully loaded.
@@flowerpower8722 yes but refueling at see and coming back with a load of coal is a massive expense that will most likely end up with puting the shipment in the black. finding somewhere else to go will mean it wont be a loss, and waiting out there hoping for a buyer seems to be cheaper that coming back.
The port of Queensland,,, sounds like a place
I like the video although it shows a New Zealand flag when talking about the ban on Australian coal lol at 13:30
Ryan you didn't correct the narrator when he was referring to Australia, your friends, yet showing a close up of the New Zealand flag. The stars were red not white and the large Commonwealth star of Oz was absent. I realise that this is an earlier video (BJ) however you've built your Aussie knowledge so very well that I'm encouraging you to maintain an upward trajectory. P.S. the black anthracite coal is cleaner & better suited to making steel and other heavy manufacturing. Cheers.
China would not let the ships leave.
G'day mate, to make steel, you need 4 basic ingredients. Iron Ore (rust), Coke (made from coking coal), Water, and Thermal Coal to cook it up. There are a few small quantity extra ingredients, but these four main ones are more than 99% of the process. Iron ore is basically rust. You add pure carbon (coke) and when you heat these (with thermal coal), the carbon attaches to the oxide in the iron ore to create CO2 and what is left is almost pure steel. You also need one ton of water to make one ton of steel.
The Chinese government didn't allow the ships to leave.
Why can't Australia make synthetic oil from it's 300 years coal reserves and become less reliance on ME Oil?
It’s called political coercion. Was discussed at the G7 last week!

What pride can do
Ryan there are a lot of occasions when I wish you would think before you comment. How much do you think it would cost to send another ship to China with another crew? The coal trade is fairly tight anyway do that would kill any profit in fact it would probably cost more than the value of the cargo.
Also, how on gods green earth did you not recognize the freakin SYDNEY OPERA HOUSE?!!!! It's only like one of the top 10 most iconic and recognizable buildings on the entire planet!

Yes there is a specific grade of coal needed to make steel, not the crappy grade you just burn to make steam for power.
There is a lot more than just the Covid issue and coal. China has been getting so aggressive that Australia, US and UK formed the AUKUS alliance part of which included Australia building 8 new nuclear powered submarines which is a process that will take a long time, but China is freaking out both the alliance and the new submarines. It is just like Putin being surprised by Finland and Sweden joining NATO. These autocrats want to push other countries around and don't realize that their own actions inevitably lead to military build up to counter their aggression. Neither China nor Russia take other countries wanting to be independent and free very well at all. Sadly, just like with Ukraine, democracies have to fight to remain free.
And that will also be a DUD deal the nuclear submarine deal just like all the other incompetance
Have you noticed how none of these videos actually have an Australian voice over.
What's the original video? Where's the link?
We never learn that everything on earth is here for a reason!
You have different qualities of coal;
- Brown coal which does the job, but cheap & dirty, rising to
- Anthracite, which is the blackest, cleanest & best quality.
Australia has a variety of coals, including the above mentioned.
You are right; stubborn politicians killed millions of their own people, just because they felt offended (precious little noodles).
Who suffers? the people.
The Australian prime minister made an offer to find the source.
An offer of assistance with research & technology available.
Australian coal is desired because it contains low amounts of sulfur.
You don’t as well think it’s maybe because we have a lot of it and a lot of infrastructure built around coal ?
@@iamasmurf1122 We built that infrastructure because our coal is sought because of the reason stated above.

By the way, that was the flag of New Zealand not Australia
Why did the video show the New Zealand flag in a video about Australia?
Yes. There are different grades of coal and australia has some of the best grade coal in the world
Pretty sure the flag shown for Oz was actually the Kiwi flag (New Zealand)...
FYI, that is a New Zealand flag. Also, we knew they were hurting when they finally released an Aussie they'd held for 2 years.
Now, don't blame little old Australia for China's economic woes. We're open for business and will go on selling as much coal, red lobsters and wine to anyone who wants to trade. If China doesn't want our produce, we have the rest of the planet we can trade with :) No worries.
quite simply a variety of Aust coal burns HOTTER than any other on earth, therefore it is used in high quality metallurgy....do you remember buying a Chinese spanner back in the day? It would bend when you used it for some thing serious!
... IIRC from my high school science classes (lol), coal is the most polluting method to produce electricity... I don't really think it is a good idea to sell coal to any country.
Australian coal has a low sulphur content, makes good steel products
Lesson to be learnt here… don’t fuck with Australia
A underdog country with a huge sucker punch 💪
Not stubborn. Arrogant and proud.
