China’s top diplomat in Australia has warned Chinese students and tourists will question whether to return to Australia after the coronavirus pandemic, raising the possibility of further trade blows to Australian goods.

The criticism has followed Canberra’s decision to block Chinese investments, institute national security measures, escalate its military spending and rhetoric, and condemn Beijing’s human rights abuses.
Wine Australia Chief Executive Officer Andreas Clark said the decline in exports was due mainly to a steep decline in Chinese imports as well as less volume available for export. But it is education and tourism that threaten to be the largest post-COVID risk for Australia. In February, Australian universities began receiving reports that Chinese agencies in regional areas were being encouraged by local authorities not to send new students to Australia. China accounts for 37 per cent of Australia’s $10 billion-a-year foreign university student market.
