After China’s successive moves, Australia’s first industry facing bankruptcy emerged, and thousands of people will lose their jobs

Since Canberra is unchanging and insists on dancing with the United States, we are no longer soft-handed. We have taken punitive measures against various Australian exports that violate domestic laws and regulations, and hit it all at once.

On December 24, the General Administration of Customs issued an announcement to stop the export of logs from two Australian states to China. Some netizens joked that this was a "Christmas gift" for Australian Prime Minister Morrison. However, this "gift" is not easy to receive for Australia.

According to media reports on the 28th, the Australian government has not had a good time recently because it has completely frozen China-Australia relations and is facing tremendous pressure from both domestic and foreign sources. Needless to say abroad, as long as Morrison does not make substantial changes, we will not stop beating; while in China, exporters have suffered heavy losses due to successive obstacles to trade with China, and they have vented their grievances on the Australian government. Ask it to be responsible for this.

Of course, this request is not without reason. If it were not for the wrong actions of the Morrison administration, these companies would not fall into the current difficult situation. Take the timber export industry as an example. After China has made several moves, the export of logs in six Australian states has been halted. Due to business difficulties, it may become the first industry to declare bankruptcy under the blow.

Australian Forest Products Association CEO Hampton said that hundreds of people in the industry are currently unemployed in the "green triangle" of South Australia, and a large number of people have lost their jobs in Tasmania, and this is just the tip of the iceberg. If the situation is not improved, the unemployment scale may reach tens of thousands by the spring of next year.

Hampton believes that Morrison should immediately address these unemployed or about to be unemployed, as well as a large number of factory closures. The Australian government needs to continue to provide assistance and carry out thorough reforms to the timber industry in order to avoid the further spread of the crisis. .

It is reported that up to now, the Australian government has provided 70 million Australian dollars to the country's timber industry, allowing it to find a way out and find new alternative markets. However, in the eyes of the Australian Forestry Association, this is just a "beggar" and cannot solve the actual problem at all. The reason is simple. China is the most important buyer of logs in the world, and the largest market is China. Where else can I find a way?

According to statistics from Australian media, China accounts for more than 90% of the export scale of the Australian timber industry. With such a huge dependence, once the Chinese market is lost, the consequences are conceivable. I am afraid that the timber exporter will fall without a substitute yet. A large piece. Just as Australia originally planned to sell barley to India, intending to allow India to replace my country's market position. Unexpectedly, India not only has limited consumption, but also tried to kill it.

As the domestic requirements for environmental protection are getting higher and higher, some industries that are not conducive to building an environmentally friendly society are being further restricted. In order to reduce the consumption of domestic forest resources, it is bound to continue to expand wood imports. It is an excellent opportunity for large log export countries. Australia is relatively far from my country, and shipping is also very important. If it is not because the relationship between the two countries is cold, it can be said that it is the first to get the moon and enjoy the benefits of various geographical advantages.

But now, not only is it not profitable, but a large number of factories are also facing bankruptcy, falling into a precarious situation. It is worth mentioning that as my country’s various countermeasures have begun to show their effects, it is certainly not only the timber export industry that is facing the above-mentioned crisis. Morrison, who is embarrassed on all sides by then, does not know whether the prime minister's seat will be secured.
