Australia's Trade Minister, Dan Tehan, is set to address China's trade barriers and discuss the recent sentencing of Australian journalist Cheng Lei during his upcoming visit to Beijing. This is part of Australia's ongoing efforts to improve the diplomatic relations and trade ties with its largest trading partner.
China has imposed several trade barriers on Australian goods in recent years, causing significant disruptions to the bilateral trade between the two countries. These measures include unofficial bans and restrictions on various Australian exports such as coal, barley, wine, lobsters, and timber. As a result, Australian businesses have suffered substantial losses, impacting numerous sectors of the economy.
