  • Australian beef processors suspended in China trade escalation

    From abc.net.au

    China has imposed an import ban on four Australian abattoirs in an apparent escalation of Beijing's trade war tactics. The blacklisting of the red meat abattoirs - three in Queensland and one in NSW - comes just days after China flagged plans to introduce an 80 per cent tariff on Australian barley, bringing the trade to its knees. There are fears the barriers introduced by Australia's largest trading partner are in retaliation to Prime Minister Scott Morrison's demand for an independent investigation into the COVID 19 outbreak. Three Queensland meatworks — Kilcoy Pastoral Company, the JBS owned Beef City, near ... (full story)

Looks like the Chinese will have to go back to eating bats,rats and other wildlife instead of quality,ethically farmed beef from Aussie.

Well into the active part of Trade fracture.
CCP has much it wants to remain hidden and will go to any length to do so.
At a time when PRC has a meat shortage then acting as it does demonstrates how deep the deception is about source and content of Wuhan Virus.
What do they expect with Aust news heavily criticizing Chinese in general when it may only be a minority. What if the shoe was on the other foot? Origins were Australia, US or any other nation? I am Australian and are ashamed how our media and politicians behave, like they are back in primary school again.
My comments are not to be taken as trading advice, not a financial advisor

Read "Silent Invasion" by Clive Hamilton and you will have your eyes opened to the intentions of the CCP.I don't believe there are any "wet markets" in Australia,USA,UK,NZ or other western countries.The PC brigade can't face reality,this devastating virus originated in China....FACT.

LOL hilarious. Curious you choose the shoe analogy. China has said Aussie is a piece of gum sticking to the sole of its shoe that needs to be scraped off. You think any Australian with the smallest ounce of pride is going to wear that even for a second? You're dreaming.

Some of the shops here have incredible supplies of face masks.... all stamped "Made in China" and NONE of them are selling. The people of Aus will stand with their PM who has done an outstanding job steering the country in the right direction to C-19 free status. China can go to hell and starve.

Australia long ago became a hole in the ground to feed China. China is by far the biggest trading partner Australia has. The wealth today of the average person has been achieved over the last 15 years and is attributable to that relationship. On a purely economic basis Australia in its current form cannot survive without a successful China. Celebrating the clumsy comments of the tactless Australian PM is on par with agreeing with Trump and his pissing competition... Both satisfy the ignorant who pay for it later in spades
its all just one persons opinion....
The EU should promote it's own beef processors and other stuff and cosy up to China now Australia - and soon all the 5 eyes countries- face a total Chinese import ban, this is quite a business opportunity.

"China has said Aussie is a piece of gum sticking to the sole of its shoe that needs to be scraped off."

may i know where this refer too? because i never heard my chinese friend saying things like this. most of them that staying there love the aussie people and treat the aussie people well and they treat the chinese well too.
China plays a long game....Western politicians don't think passed their next election and winning cheap votes from the xenophobic lowest of the low. Easy pickings when you are desperate and have nothing else to offer, just thinking of self preservation and relying on fools.

Here, and widely reported in Australia across multiple media outlets
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...ronavirus.html

It comes after a Chinese media boss called Australia a 'piece of gum' on the bottom of China's shoe.
Hu Xijin, the editor of the state-run Global Times, on Tuesday shared a post on Weibo saying ties between Australia and China would continue to deteriorate.
'After the epidemic, we need to have more risk awareness when doing business with Australia and also when we send our children to study there,' he wrote.
'Australia is always there, making trouble. It is a bit like chewing gum stuck on the sole of China's shoes. Sometimes you have to find a stone to rub it off.'

Don't think we could expect any other type of comment from someone in North Korea. You are wrong on so many counts, but not worth the effort to correct the misinformation. What I will say is this, China is going to have a serious problem when the powdered milk supply and other foodstuffs run out. Old saying, don't bite the hand that feeds you. Too late. Damage is done. Enjoy obscurity.

LOL theres the validation of my comments....clearly xenophobic and clearly ignorant. Anyone who thinks I could be in North Korea and communicating here misses the joke and is obviously stupid. So given im not in Korea, can you argue the points I have raised? By the way NZ supplies most of the milk powder to china....and will happily take up the slack. Australia supplies coal and very raw materials dug out of the ground. All of which china is rapidly adapting to do without. know your market, and when you piss them off , have another plan.

NZ will stand shoulder to shoulder with Aus, if you don't know that already, you know nothing about the strength of the cross-Tasman relationship. But that is why China has placed its powdered milk supply in jeopardy (because the bulk of it comes from NZ). China is "adapting" to do without not because it needs to adapt, but because it simply has no markets to adapt to now, and is doing an outstanding job of shooting itself in the foot over future trade with any of the 5 Eyes nations. It's not rocket science.

The China propaganda trolls have visited this place before now, ain't difficult to spot an apologist. North Korean location or otherwise. Wouldn't rule anything in, or out.

hahaha do you realize that Australia runs a MASSIVE trade surplus with China, digging holes for China is your core business.

Now, we sell them the bloody milk powder, we have plenty of it, you 5 Eyes folks go pick a fight with the next and only superpower.
Scott has already pushed the trans tasman relationship as far as he can, pandering to the immigration phobics, even against NZ. There is no agreement in nz regarding the allegations against china. Its seen for what it is, populist politics of a desperate idiot appealing to the stupid. Classic trump politics, no substance....its all someone elses fault etc. Economics will win.....NZ, Europe,UK have everything to gain. Australia has everything to lose, and needs to wake up before its too late, but probably wont.

Agree with you that Aus has been too reliant on a singular focus for export markets. Been made abundantly clear to us (and other nations) that trade diversification with more transparent democracy-led nations is now the primary agenda going forward.
DODGERS World Series Champions '24 !!!! YESSSS
Simmer down Guys and Gals!
China takes 35% of Australia's exports, the bulk goes to Japan, Sth Korea, India, Hong Kong , USA, NZ etc..
and china traditionally was mainly interested in Iron ore, coke and coal, and gold from Aus.

If the Aussies have some sense it could be this :
find alternative markets really soon like NZ is doing
hang on to your own Gold ( don't export this ! why would you do this?)
for the last two decades China has been actively stockpiling natural resources ( all imported), you would be surprised at how much they have squirreled away,
i know this from eyes in the ground!

the milk powder argument is neither here nor there, there are plenty of other world wide suppliers

Chinese media boss is right.
Attack China all you want sadly we depend by a fair chunk on them;

International Students
Tourism Dollars
Exports mining agriculture
Imports, so many local businesses rely on Chinese made products

things will be real fun in Oz Post Covid19, and without business with China. Why you think Twiggy jumped in to smooth things over his lively hood depends on them just like so many other Aussies.

love hearing the little-minded Aussie biting a hand that feeds them, why don't you hit out at the polis and businesses that sold out or manufacturing so we find ourselves depending on a foreign country.

{quote} China has no knowledge and resources to make powder milk? Really? The best for everyone is that strong Australia close door to communist China and trade completely with USA and Europe. Naturally Trump is crazy about Australia.

Do you seriously think that modern diplomacy between Nations is or was ever has been conducted in the simplistic way you describe? And seriously believe that that using the TRUTH metaphor is some a great breakthrough invented by you? Dont you realise that there is no TRUTH. Or rather that everyone has their own? As the very threads you are posting to, immediately attest to.
The language of diplomacy used by those speaking for Nations to other Nations recognises that.?
You dont. Nor does Administration-by-Twitter.

Which TRUTH are you referring to? Your truth, my truth, our truth...? If you read my comment objectively, you should agree with! What do you think if someone insinuate to you, community or nation to go back and eat bats and rats? Is it the truth? In addition, is every truth is worth to say it or it's better to build cohesion and strengthen relations?
