China-Australia trade: Beijing set to ban nearly US$400 million worth of Australian wheat imports

Wheat exported from Australia is expected to join a list of goods banned by China, which has already halted imports of barley, sugar, red wine, timber, coal, lobster, copper ore and copper concentrates from the country. Starting from November 6, 2020, the items will be barred from China even if the goods were already paid for and delivered to Chinese ports. Beijing’s latest actions came as tensions between the two nations escalated since April when Canberra pushed for an international inquiry into the origins of the coronavirus.

Australia deserve this, well done China keep going

if it wasnt for China, Australia's economy would have died in 2008. However thanks to strong demand of raw materials from China, especially ores, Australia has become one of the strongest economies in the past 10 years in the west. But guess what, instead of strengthening the tie, Australia has always been standing in the forefront of anti-china business. They have been so enthusiastic sometimes, that Mr Pompeo would be shocked even. And they even said that it was China who begged for imports, and can not live without Australia. Another example after HK, who cannot really figure out what the true driving force of their economy is.

This Australian grocery store may need a new owner .

we have to understand that australia started this "chaos" when they agree to be america lackey.

China has committed to meet the target under the China US trade deal, so all these can be sourced from the US, rather than from Australia who's hostile to China.

If I were African, South American, or Southeast Asian trade delegates, I would be asking China "How can we help?

[Rio-kehe]

China joined the international inquiry proposed by france with hundreds of other countries. For some reasons US refused to join that inquiry. Why?

[muliawanchandra]

Aussie thought China is an easy prey like Indonesia, too bad.

Give that wheat contract to Americans. Since Aussies want to show their solidarity with US against China, they should have no problem with losing their business to Uncle Sam.

[xcutioner]

i think this is not problem for China, she can buy from others country
the fastest-growing wheat exporters since 2015 were: Argentina (up 136.9%), Romania (up 67.9%), Russia (up 64.4%) and Bulgaria (up 46.7%).

Australian should first admit their bad behaviours towards china stop racial discrimination Chinese and Asian people.

[oooooo]

As Mahbubani describes this situation: everybody around the world is harassing the tiger. The tiger is very angry. And then Aus wanted to attack the tiger while it is angry.

Australia has positioned itself as the perfect whipping dog
in this geopolitical battle....she is in for a LOT OF TEARS.

[zsarimaxim]

Australia China relation has been deteriorating even before last year. Just remember proxy in a war will always be the one that saw the most devastation, trade war or hot war.

[ibcyt]

Glad Beijing is getting smarter, buy less and less from US vassal states and direct those to fulfill to buy more American (trade deal) or from non-us vassal states.

[burggerbig]

Never have a bad relationship with your top trader.

[TPerm-hjsf]

I think the main driver is China is giving concession to important agricultural products from US, therefore Australian products have become the sacrificial lamb.

[choegyal]

Australian got what their ask for !!! Never ever insult your business partner

[yourenodaisy]

Is farking logic, you don't ever insult your customers, if you expect them to spend more money.
