China has lifted punitive tariffs on Australia n wine, reopening a billion-dollar market as ties improve between the two countries after years of tension.

But fair-minded observers would award a win on points to the country of almost 27 million people with a gross domestic product of US$1.7 trillion against the one with an economy 10 times the size, which also has nuclear weapons. Australia stuck to its geopolitical stance as a strong US ally, and China backed down.
