    Yeah, and don’t forget Europe saves China for keeping its markets open as China depends heavily on exports given consumer confidence in its domestic market is low, the property crisis is still looming, public debts are increasing, U.S. tariffs are high, …

    China does Australia an ‘enormous favour’ to keep oil prices down
