China has turned its back on one of the country’s largest exports, coal. (Alex Ellinghausen, SMH)
China has lifted restrictions on coal from all nations except Australia in the latest attack on the country’s exports.
The Global Times, a state media outlet, quoted an economic advisor who said that “the relationship between China and Australia has been deteriorating and Australia is gradually losing the Chinese market”.
Trade Minister Simon Birmingham revealed the government is seeking clarification over the reports, telling media “I urge Chinese authorities to immediately rule out these reports of what, if accurate, would appear to be the use of discriminatory practices against Australian coal”.
