Can you say more on why your family is trying to sell their factory.

Does the Zero Covid policy or the power crisis (because of China stopping the import of coal from Australia) has anything to do with it.

Not GP, but here are two more factors:

* Xi Jinping's increasingly tight and authoritarian control

* the upcoming demographic crisis in China: 1. its population will start shrinking (earlier and faster than assumed until recently), 2. the dependency ratio (proportion of non-working age population to working age population) will go up massively, 3. due to the demographic development (inverted pyramid), selective abortion and increasing women's liberation, the imbalance in the "marriage market" will get massively worse (150+ men per 100 women).

1/3 of men being incels caused by government policy isn’t going to go down well. Surely they can just import women though?

Australia would do well to not sell China iron ore either only the finished steal product; it would reduce transport costs and CO2 by 40%.
