Data released on Monday shows Australia exported $9 billion worth of goods more than it imported, up from $7.4 billion in November.
The increase in cereals was driven by wheat, up a whopping 423 per cent, and barley, up a surprisingly impressive 254 per cent given China imposed a whopping 80.5 per cent tariff on Australian barley following anti-dumping investigations in May. Australian malting barley is being used to make Heineken beer in Mexico.

Time to tell China to get Fucked & FUCK OFF
If they try anything against Taiwan, they're going to need more than barley, iron and beef! Count on that!!😊😉
