Coal is a very large export of Australia, as its very reliant on imports of a lot of goods to sustain itself. It's a game of figuring out a way to get Austalia out of that hole if you want to stop coal from being mined.
Australia's coal exports to China were non-existent from 2020 - Jan 2023 due to an import ban. Most of AU coal now goes to Japan.
China now imports most of its coal from Indonesia and Russia.
