The whole world needs to step up and show them this is not how diplomatic countries work.

We already do. I think we have tariffs on 20 odd of their products, including steel and copper. There was an article with a list but I can't find it anymore.

Barley and wine are the first two they have slapped on us. Its a bait. They want us to take them to the WTO so that they can put the 20+ products we have tariffed on the table for debate. They are claiming the same, no evidence of subsidies.

The thing is they are cunning and always play the long game. We need a 5 to 10 to 15 year game plan, but I can't see it.

True, well said. I earlier said we should look forward to an alliance of 'everyone else' . Sure as **** stinks, they need something from someone.

How long does it take to get united, especially hard with the circus in the U.S

'Aussies the bad people ', I think it looks vindictive, U.K polie's agree

Just to put some things into perspective........

China used anti-dumping rules against us because what goes around comes around

"It remains a prolific user of the system compared to other countries, with an outsized number of measures imposed against imports from one country, China, and imports of one product, steel."

Did Australia start the anti-dumping trade contest with China?

"Australia has been the world’s third most prolific user of anti-dumping measures over the past six years, having initiated 84 actions, with only India and the United States doing more, according to the World Trade Organization. The vastly larger European Union economy, by contrast, initiated 67 actions over that period while Japan initiated just six."

Anti dumping measures - 26 vs 2.
