Trade dispute between China and Australia heightens after China’s Ministry of Commerce indicated it had decided to initiate the anti-dumping investigation into Australia’s wine industry. Australia Trade Minister Simon Birmingham hit back and criticized the move as ”disappointing and perplexing”
Birmingham said, “Australian wine is not sold at below market prices and exports are not subsidized. Australia will engage fully with the Chinese processes to strongly argue the case that there are no grounds to uphold the claims being made.” “This is a very disappointing and perplexing development”.
