The Australian coal industry is bracing for another hit to Australian exports to China after state-owned energy providers and steel mills reportedly received verbal notice to stop importing Australian coal.
Coal power plants located 200 kilometres north-east of Beijing. China already burns half the world's coal.Shares in coal miners tumbled on Monday, pulling down Whitehaven by more than 6 per cent while the energy sector fell by 1.3 per cent. The industry is already facing a $17 billion export collapse as utilities shift to gas for base load power and the coronavirus curbs economic growth.
"If there are discriminative treatment of countries among largest coal exports to China such as Mongolia, Indonesia, and Australia, the Australian coal will certainly be under tighter control," they said.
ErykBagshaw micksfoley You can only accuse the Foreign Minister's Office and the UN Minister, rather than the government body itself. Who are wholly and solely responsible for the effects of exporting to China, due to the lack of cognitive and real response. Acts of careless behaviour and reprisal.

ErykBagshaw micksfoley Some people are so blinkered on coal, they have no plan for jobs transition. Isn't this the next headline? auspol
ErykBagshaw micksfoley Other countries will buy. China stops importing not because they want to punish Australia. It is because they have no money. Don't over think it.
ErykBagshaw micksfoley So please stop all food export to china globally
ErykBagshaw micksfoley The impact of pollution is probably irreversible. The entire world should not just keep a blind eye to ccp’s carbon emissions. They should hold Ccp accountable.
