China slaps 80 per cent tariffs on Australian barley | Sky News Australia

China accused Australian barley producers of dumping barley into its market below value – an accusation Australia denies. Australia’s Trade Minister Simon Birmingham issued a statement saying “Australia is deeply disappointed with China’s decision” and “we reject the basis of this decision and will be assessing the details of the findings while we consider next steps”.

Meanwhile, China has changed its tune on Australia’s call for an independent inquiry into the origins of COVID-19. China’s President Xi Jinping pledged AU$3.1 billion to support the “comprehensive evaluation” of the pandemic and insisted China had “always had an open, transparent and responsible attitude”.

So what.?. Markets for agri-produce fluctuate all the time. Farmers have the chance to plant other crops this spring and sell any spare barley for animal feed. Or start raising animals on the land. Pigs, cattle, sheep, deer, fowl, alpaca etc.

Any Australian who wants to buy a Great Wall needs to remember the word Corona (it’s Japanese)

Let’s put an 80% duty on all purchases that China make in Australia and this goes into the AustralianManufacturing Fund to build factories.

ScottMorrisonMP explain how China is profiting from Covid-19 on the backs of Australians? Start putting your foot down and fight their autocratic leaders!!

There is no hiding from this one.. This is 100% ScottMorrisonMP fault!! To think Dog-Whistling for the sake of realDonaldTrump would never have any possible reprocussion.. What an arrogant Moron!!

The reason for these tariffs is presently unclear and needs to be spelled out by China. Assumptions as to why this tariff was imposed aren't helpful. D_LittleproudMP

China Dummy Spit update: If we're not exporting to China anymore, then China won't need the Port of Darwin will it? We'll take that back for starters.

Take this opp to put a flat 30% tariff on ALL imports (plus 15% flat export incentive) cure unemployment and raise billions for edu, infrastructure, med Phase in over 5 years “Level playing field” is BS invented by polis that never ran a business

They should do dairy next.

China is playing the same game they played with USA 2018-19 Thanks to President Trump's strength China lost. pm_live ScottMorrisonMP PaulineHansonOz smh

Stop producing barley and produce other grain that can be sold elsewhere.

Australia really should adjust Industrial structure. It is pivotal to develop technology ,renewable energy and high value-added products, not just heavily rely on raw material export.

Western countries must know CCP- China better and deeper. Naive policies must be stopped.

How you act when you apparently have nothing to hide. CCP

MarkHiggie1 Let's buy Australian! BuyfromOz

So what are we doing in response? We do need to respond! The only think the Chinese understand is force.

Time for Aussie businesses to diversify or at least charge a risk premium on our products. We need policies to limit our exposure to CCP

GRR, StopBuyingChinaProducts

Or maybe a 2000% price increase to help our economy recover.

Can Australia take China to court? Our barley farmers are not subsidised. It’s time to start to wind down trade with China. The rest of the world must be watching China’s trading behaviour as well.

And USA gets the Barley volumes that Australian farmers loose. How convenient.

Stop selling to them completely there are other buyers for Australian products.

Chinese beer drinkers are going to be fucken mad

apu36618479 There are other countries that will do fair trades.

apu36618479 Bullying tactics. Karma will come about on this one!

MarkHiggie1 Stick with it Australia. You are making a very important stand and all right thinking people will support you.

Just ban all exports to China today and watch them scramble.... China

MarkHiggie1 Sell it to the U.K. we are open for business and tgecrestnof the Commonwealth is available. Cut China off

MarkHiggie1 Who is your enemy?

Bots and Qanon out strongly on this one. Great viewers you have sky news not enough for Rupert to stem bleeding. Days are numbered

Fck them! There are other countries who want our resources!

MarkHiggie1 Beef then Barley. What's next on their agenda? Strap yourselves in and stand by.

Better not to sell to them.

This is peanuts. They owe us $200B over this covid-19 mess.

Stop dealing with communist China.

Outrageous behavior by China.

We need to send a strong message to China..we are not there farm we. We need to follow Trumps lead and bring all manufacturing back to Australia..this should be a wakeup call of how far we have let all that matters be traded offshore.. Its time Australia to stand up

Export Tax on baby formula.

Trade with China is very risky and unpredictable

Well we reverse tariff our selves with high cost energy giving China a further advantage over our industry so why are we fussed about a single commodity?

China trade ‘so enormous’ Australia can’t afford to ignore it | Sky News AustraliaChina’s decision not to talk to Trade Minister Simon Birmingham after attacking the barley and beef industries represents a “huge diplomatic failing” according to Australia Institute Deputy Director Ebony Bennett.\n\n“China is so enormous we can’t afford to just ignore it, we’d have to go to many, many, many other nations to set up trade with them before it would replace what the single Chinese market offers in terms of trade,” she told Sky News.\n\n“It’s a huge problem that must be resolved.\n\n“The only way out of it is going to be effective diplomacy.”\n\nMs Bennett criticised outspoken government backbenchers who have branded the trade strikes “payback” and “too much of a coincidence” after a warning from the Chinese ambassador to Australia that anti-China rhetoric could result in a boycott of Australian education, tourism and agriculture. Birmo Ah,what an not many things. Birmo so enormous it should be reduced. talking about putting all your eggs in one basket. Birmo no members of government can't get visa for China
