, in what may be the latest multi-million-dollar trade salvo fired across Canberra's bows from Beijing.
Last year Australia exported 152,000 tonnes of table grapes, worth $622 million globally. China was the largest buyer of those Australian exports, purchasing about 40 per cent or 60,000 tonnes."It's abnormal," Mr Scott said, confirming urgent discussions between exporters, the Australian government and China were underway to find out why Australian grapes were suddenly being held up.
"This might be something new that the Chinese are imposing on fruit arrivals," Mr Scott said of the nucleic tests.
So the moment China is Challenged they threaten Military Retaliation, Trade Embargos, play Dirty yet Media outlets reported how great dealing with China is for Australia, Selling our Agricultural Lands, Industries, etc relying on China for trade has Backfired, Reclaim Australia
You have to wonder what they eat in china these days.....grass? Their loss.
You only have your vassal govt to blame. The chiding rhetoric of debasement directed toward China is atrocious. Then this idiot vassal govt cries when China says it has had enough
Diversify and introduce punitive export licences to China
Interesting. The article says the grapes are being tested for Covid, since Australia has an ongoing epidemic. Not so. And has the CCP forgotten where Covid came from? Heavy irony here.
'unforeseen'? or we already knew it.
That's why it's breaking the law returning to Australia from India ,being covid free influences exports....( A ruse? )

I really like grapes 🍇 ... and we can now get affordable 🦐 lobster at the supermarket. 😀
Time to place an embargo on Chinese PV Solar Serous
