China Removes Most Trade Barriers on Australian Beef
Beijing lifts bans on five major abattoirs, signaling improved relations and economic gains for Australia.
- China's latest move follows the lifting of restrictions on Australian coal, timber, barley, and wine.
- Eight Australian beef processing facilities have resumed exports to China, with two still under suspension.
- The trade barriers were initially imposed in response to Australia's call for a COVID-19 origin probe.
- Australian exports to China, including beef, have significantly increased since the Labor Party took office in 2022.
- Remaining trade impediments include bans on Australian rock lobsters.
