‘Not just a business dispute’: China halts all BHP iron ore imports
Hudson Institute Senior Fellow John Lee discusses China halting BHP imports.
“This Chinese entity … was created by the Chinese Communist Party specifically to negotiate iron ore prices … the idea is to maximise the leverage this company has,” Mr Lee told Sky News host Peta Credlin.
“This is very squarely in my mind an example of state coercion; it’s not just a business dispute.
“This is an $85 billion export industry to China.”
