The Australian government has called on the Chinese government to live up to its commitments under the World Trade Organization and ChAFTA, which require China not to discriminate against Australia. The government has repeatedly called for dialogue to resolve current trade issues in the interests of jobs and economic recovery post COVID in both countries and in our broader region. Such requests have been dismissed. The government is currently considering its options and working with industry, including on a possible WTO dispute.
