China does seem to relish confrontation these days, plus when they do, they really confront.
The 107-212% 'anti dumping' tariffs they just put on Australian wine is impressive, makes Trump's 25% tariff look silly.
I guess they are confident that the West is so dependent on their production that no retaliation is possible.
The coming Chinese hegemony is likely to be uncomfortable, as the Chinese have no reason to love the West.
