The story in a nutshell is that china tried to bully Australia by refusing to buy Aussie coal

The expectation was that the Australians would be pressured into toeing the line diplomatically

Instead the Australians accepted the short-term pain snd found new buyers such as India

China OTOH has been buying desperately needed Aussie coal through 3rd parties and paying as much as double over the price they were paying

Now they want to buy directly from the source again but Australia is not selling
