China has ‘doubled down’ on its retaliation against Australia | Sky News Australia

China on Monday evening announced it would follow through on a threat to slap an 80 per cent tariff on Australian barley in a move that inflamed trade tensions between the two nations.

Beijing claimed the tariffs had nothing to do with Canberra’s push for an inquiry into the origins of COVID-19 and instead said they were due to concerns Australian farmers were dumping barley in their market below market value. Mr Kenny said Australia is “dealing with a bully” on the issue and will have to remain “tough” on the steep tariff which was slapped on our barley.

Any way the US might be able to intervene? Maybe purchase som of that barley at fair rate? We love Australians!

bubub_bu Expel their CCP families and freeze their trillions of secret money at Australia and New Zealand

The lesser Australia relies on China economically, the better off Australia will be. Start decoupling from China now. Stop CCP from buying your farms and assets.

Fuk the CCP, in the long term we dont need them. 'Short term pain for long term gain'. They need us more than we need them, if they want our resources they buy them on our terms or go elsewhere. Ps. The multi millionaires that only care about money can get stuffed.

BuyAustralianBarley BoycottChina Hope that the world can show support by choosing barley products from Australia.

Of course they are always aggressive and want to destroy all their neighbours. China

China strategy is Cockroach

shiroihamusan In light of how China suppresses freedoms not only in HK, Uyghur but also the West, it is not wise to let them grow anymore! Market and cheap labor r needed? Prop up scattered democratic nations but NEVER a cunning Communist giant! CCPVirus CCP CHINA

China is an old teeth-less tiger. They don't have the balls to bite anyone. Even if they do, they are too weak to do anything at all

If you don't get rid of the CCPVirus they'll infect your whole body and consume you from the inside.

Screw China 🖕🖕🖕

leahwanhk Can we get a list of Aussie products that can replace China.

Australian no need to worry. Even though CCP threatened that they would not buy Aus beef, wine and formula powder, Chinese ppl would! What mainland Chinese say are always opposite to what they do.

Can't the world be sober in the face of China's hegemonism? Should n’t we investigate the truth of the virus disaster? Australia only suffered from Chinese hegemony in retaliation for supporting an independent investigation into the virus disaster.

Why are they up againat the whole world.. If they want so, the world will react to it..

Relationship with China is fragile as the whole populations are full of nationalists.

the ultimate aim of ccp is to control the whole world.

Australia calls for independent inquiry for the sake of public health, but CCP in respond with a trade war, and forces all other nations to kneel down to its Chinese market It would be the end of humans if CCP dominate the world

Be strong and stand with the truth

China is doing Australia a favour in the long run stupid to have all your export eggs in the one basket with all China's sabre rattling in the south China sea if there was to be a war are we still going to trade with China

Australia did the dirty job for US, US farmers get Australia's market share of China. Double gain for US.

Stop them to robber Australia mike powder

Aussie do not back down to evil China

stand with 🇦🇺 against Chinazi ChinaMustPay

As the bullying and extortion continued, time to illegalize baby formula exports to China to see who's bluffing. StandWithAustralia to demand independent inquiry about the cause of WuhanVirus pandemic.

CCP hold the nasty and unfriendly action against EVERYONE！ StopMekongDam

Hongkong3333333 Australia government must stronger to against China

People or country with different idea wil be unwelcome. So how can the country improve AntiChinazi

Everywhere should ban the products that made in 🇨🇳

Australia should consider to transfer the crops into global or local market instead of selling to hungry but poverty nation - CCP, which is now suffering from no foreign currency under its trade deficit! Wait and see when CCP loses in the trade war against Australia soon.

Walk away from china would help AntiChinazi

Obviously the answer is yes. That’s what happens when you work with a authoritarian genocidal regime. Make sure you double down on your pricing strategy next time china needs your natural resources.

Over 100 countries are supporting Australia. Let’s see what will happen if milk powder is not exported to China.

There's hundred of nations supporting the call for on independent inquiry, they should stay together resist the bully by CCP If Australia lost the 'trade war' started by CCP, other nations will likely facing the same in the future when one doesn't obey CCP

Just don’t buy Chinese made products anymore. We’ll see who suffers more. BoycottChina BoycottChineseProducts China should pay for all damages!

This totalitarian regime is never a reliable ally. All they want is your money and endorsement on the notorious act they are doing eg abuses in Xinjiang and Hong Kong.

Making UQ expel its own student DrewPavlou for exercising FreedomofSpeech, speaking against CCP is 'nasty and unfriendly'. But Australia is not a province of China, it's a champion of human rights and freedom of expression!

China is barbrian! What's wrong w/ launching an independent coronavirus inquiry? We must review our handling of the virus and prevent another pandemic in the future. Why is the CCP so against the idea of inquiry? What’s she hiding? ChinaLiedAndPeopleDied DecouplefromChina

You gain all the support from the free world. BoycottChina will be the majority.

Kenny have you heard.the UK have dumped Fox hell would looking over shoulder if you were one of the after dark misfits.

An independent review of the WHO and origins of covid19 is not a 'nasty & unfriendly' action aimed at China. Sounds like China's suffering from guilt. MFA_China

The people of Australia must make it clear to the Federal government that we don't want China buy up Australian land and assets

Independent investigation into the origins of the virus is unfriendly? lol. It is unfriendly only if you have some hidden problems.

What to say...You asked for it

Coronavirus update: After initial scepticism, this is increasingly looking like a diplomatic pincer movement to me. Australia forces an inquiry and the USA/Trump fires off this devastating letter. I suspect China might see it that way too.

Yawn. The lnp, US-phile, religious hard right and nationalist back benchers are pursuing a strategy to jam AU Foreign and Defense polices so far into the US camp, independent AU action is unachievable. That back bench strategy worked on Climate Change. auspol

This Xi jinping very trouble maker.

debbie53deb Time for the Ozzies to boot the Chinese out. They’re gradually buying everything worth having in Oz and increasing the reliance on China giving them the upper hand. They’re an evil lot not to be trusted.

I warned you....

Just insult them in the presence of others and watch them buckle.

Really? I thought accusing China of responsibility for spreading the coronavirus and demanding trillions in reparations was pretty ‘nasty and unfriendly’.

time we became self sufficient, should have happened years ago, stuff them , export nothing to them if possible and import only if no choice

Time Aus introduces an tariff on imported plastics not deemed to be recyclable or reused .

THANK TRUMP PUSHNG IN FROMT OF AUSTRALIA WITH THE TRADE WAR HE INITIATED WITH THE RESOLUTION CHINA GAVE TO HIM WHICH NOW IS BEING HONOURED. READ

Australia won't retaliate against barley tariff: Littleproud | Sky News AustraliaAustralia will not retaliate against China for imposing crippling tariffs on barley imports as a “trade war benefits nobody”, Agriculture Minister David Littleproud says. \n\nChina on Monday evening announced it would follow through on a threat to slap an 80 per cent tariff on Australian barley in a move that fanned trade tensions between the two nations. \n\nBeijing claimed the tariffs had nothing to do with Canberra’s push for an inquiry into the origins of COVID-19 and instead said they were due to concerns Australian farmers were dumping barley in their market below market value.\n\nSpeaking with Sky News, Mr Littleproud said the decision was a “real kick in the guts” but insisted the Morrison Government would not retaliate. \n\n“A trade war benefits nobody. You only have to see what happened between the US and China. There is no need for a trade war, we can work through in a fair marketplace, we produce the best food and fibre in the world,” he said. \n\n“We won’t be retaliating that, that won’t advance not only agriculture, it won’t advance any of our sectors. We will keep to our principles, that is what the Australian government does.” \n\nThe government is likely to appeal the decision to the World Trade Organisation but in the meantime, the Agriculture Minister said officials were working “feverishly” to find another market for the next round of crops. \n\n“We will continue to work with the Chinese to try and get them to understand Australian farmers are not subsidised and then subsequently dump barley into their market,” he said. \n\n“That’s what we’re working feverishly on now (to find another market) ... We have got some time, we have got some barley that won’t come up until October\u002FNovember.”\n D_LittleproudMP Cuck. D_LittleproudMP Cucked. D_LittleproudMP When the USA steal Barley trade. Our Aussie Lackies do as they're told. Thanks to USA propaganda.
