This is the problem when you are heavily reliant on just one supplier. Some of these countries are politically unreliable and they do things like this. The Russians are the same. Suddenly shut their doors and no more barley for sale, comrade. I suppose with beef the problem is that you can't magically increase output as to do so would take months or years to ramp it up.

I expect in protest at China's meat consumption the vegan activists will boycott their products including mobile phones, clothes, laptops, white goods and anything that uses Chinese components. Or perhaps it's just easier to enjoy those cheap, meat-fuelled products and change the world by trolling social media

Couldnt be half scarce enough imo

It won't be scarce enough until the plant based hippies are begging for it, and even then I'd still deny them the right to have it.

There is tonnes of different suppliers for most goods.

Aye but not many customers as big as the China and they know it !

That may be the case, but as we are finding out with the global shortage of certain computer chips, those multiple suppliers can be ultimately reliant on something that has only a very few suppliers. There's only a very few makers of these chips, and if the supply from just one of them gets disrupted it affects everyone globally immediately as supply is no longer equal to demand, prices go through the roof, and you often just can't get any at any price. And as those chips get into just about everything it feeds through into shortages of loads of other things as well, eventually everything.

Its why car makers currently have airfields full of uncompleted cars, because the chips needed to finish them off aren't available. If these shortages go on long enough they are going to start hitting everything - at the moment people can keep going with their old kit. But machinery doesn't last forever, and will eventually fail, and if you have a critical machine in your manufacturing process and it breaks and you can't get a new one because the manufacturer can't get the chips, then your production line lies idle. This will feed through into the shops, stuff will just start disappearing off the shelves.

If a shooting war breaks out between China and Taiwan you can kiss goodbye to the world economy because Taiwan is one of the largest producers of computer chips and if their capacity is lost then we are right up the swanny.

How much are the Chinese prepared to pay for it.
I've yet to find a day I couldn't sell cattle, what people are prepared to pay for them is a very different matter.

We will rue the day we have done any business with the Chinese. They will use our own money against us, these greedy companies that have all gone there to enrich theirselves will cause a lot of global problems in the future.

Agreed, we should cut our selves off from them learn to live without their cheap shyt that pollutes the world , Donald trump tried to lead the way but the lure of cheapness was to much for the flock .

No we won't. But some of us might be able to buy a new suit.

And we all know that we can't predict the future, except we know the pendulum always swings back.
