India imported 1.05 mn tonnes of coal from Australia in oct
China imported 1.8 mn tonnes in oct.
India has some of the world's largest coal reserves but have high sulphur content.

I knew. China has large than enough coal reserve as well.
The thing is Australia can't find any market big enough to consume their mineral and agriculture product.
The trade between India and Australia is relatively much smaller. Australia has to find some other place to export, otherwise they have to lay off their employees.
Your crap low tech coal power station can't matched China high tech coal power station that standard even EU can't matched. We just install one for Pakistan. The high sulphur content can be extract and made into biproduct.
You can see no black smoke or very thin white smoke produced even it's running...
Poor quality coal is not only a pollutant but also reduces burning efficiency , low cal value. The clean coal thermal plants are one solution, didn't see your video.
But the video pic is showing cooling towers , hope u know the difference...

China's Energy Shortage Threatens Bitcoin Mining
By Julianne Geiger - Dec 28, 2020, 3:30 PM CST
Coal prices in China have risen over the last month as China continues to block coal carriers from entering Chinese ports—and it's causing more than just residential and industrial energy shortages and blackouts.
China's Bitcoin mining is now under siege.
China is attempting to ration its power, but bitcoin mining's unquenchable thirst for high power use is now being threatened by China's standoff with Australia, frozen wind turbines—and Russia's own short supply of coal—that has left sailors and crew stranded at sea for months.
In fact, Bitcoin miners could end up taking the brunt of the rationing, and China hosts most of the world's top bitcoin miners.
And that makes sense because Bitcoin is extremely electricity-intensive, with just a single transaction consuming the power equivalent of as much as one U.S. household does for 23 days, with the carbon footprint of about 54,563 hours of YouTube video watching.
China's coal shortage and increased load from zealous industrial activity have caused widespread blackouts in the Zhejiang, Hunan, Jiangxi, Shaanxi, and Guangdong provinces, triggering cities to impose power use restrictions. The South China Morning Post called the nationwide blackouts the "worst in nearly a deacde".
But the bitcoin factor adds another layer of complexity into the mix, and it's garnering media attention because one bitcoin (BTC) is now worth $27,077, with a market value near $500 billion—mining is big business.
While multifaceted, the root cause of China's coal shortage is its embargo of Australian coal imports as the tension between the two nations has turned into a full-blown trade war—although China denies this is the cause of the power outages.
