You stupid Chang, do you suffer from a brain disease? Is the point here about which country produces more coal or the country that is MOST dependent on foreign oil and coal?
Why are there blackouts in your shithole country then? Right after you started waving your d*cks around to get into a pissing contest with the Aussies and banned coal imports from them?
Most of your coal mines have pretty much become useless and are shut after they got flooded. Why else did the CCP gandus relent and ease restrictions on the ban on Australian coal imports?
Another thing is that the Coal that is shipped from Australia to China is Metallurgical grade Coal. Used in making steel.
Australia has the quality of coal required to operate your power plants and not too many other producers exist, Australia is in a great position to make demands. Sure Chinks can get other quality of coal but within a year or two your new and expensive power stations would be absolutely ruined and need to be replaced.
You're a retard if you think you can operate a modern coal plant with coal with sulphur impurities. Sulphur poisons components in modern coal plants and they need to be remade entirely.
Venezuela found out the hard way this is true. They had many blackouts a few years back because they used low quality coal in their plants, their plants with a lifetime of 30+ years ruined in one or two years.
Again, most of the iron and coal Australia sends you is used in China domestically because it's used as a stimulus for the PRC economy.
Some coal is for burning, other types are for use in metallurgy. Australia has some of the highest amounts of both in the world.
At the moment you need their high-quality coal for energy production. Do you think that the only "good" coal is Anthrocite or something, dumbass?
>be china
>rely on coal for 90% of energy
>tiny peepees
>restrict coal imports to hurt Aussie economy
>Aussies sell their coal to India, Saudis, and Pakis instead.
>No power for 2/3rds of china and need more coal
>buy the same Aussie coal from India, Saudis, and Pakis at even higher prices.
>keep energy prices to consumer low so as not to crash chinese economy
>cost of energy becomes prohibitively high.
>the more energy china produces the more losses it incurs.
Better get posting chink. Never know when the next blackout will hit.
