"Though they still haven’t been officially confirmed, reports China’s
state-owned buyer told steelmakers to stop purchasing iron ore from Australian
mining giant BHP have rattled both markets and Canberra.
At first glance, this looks like a simple dispute over price. But step back,
and a picture begins to emerge of something possibly far more deliberate.
If true, this ban represents a pressure test from China – one that goes beyond
trade and speaks directly to the future of Australia’s economy and the shape of
global resource politics."
