Freedoms foods think they're protected during this trade war with strong links to Chinese agriculture giants.
A2M also has the same ties and are technically an NZ company.
The only disruption is the diagou channel linked to the OZ vs China trade war.
Real shame that intransigience has become the order of the play with Australia & China.
Hang on tight - could be a rough ride for quite a while yet until one or the other party buckle under.
Writing in The Interpreter last month, Henry Storey, an Australian analyst, said if Australia wants to resolve the dispute, it may need to apologise for calling for the COVID-19 inquiry, distance itself from the Quad and promise to respect China’s core interests.

Morrison, the Australian prime minister, signalled Australia will not reverse its China policy after the Chinese embassy shared a list of its grievances with the Australian media.
“I can assure you, we will always be Australia, act in our interests and in accordance with our values,” he told the Seven Network.

Another mocking cartoon of Australia on China’s state media.
Next move - Australia.
Hope Australia swallows hard and practice quiet diplomacy. Any further escalation will result in more entrenched intransigence.
