China's government has used its own media to confirm suspensions on seven types of Australian exports including wine, lobster, and barley in a multi-billion-dollar blow. This is the first public confirmation from any Chinese government organisation.
Earlier this week Chinese wine and lobster importers were summoned to a series of meetings organised by the Foreign Trade Department of China's Ministry of Commerce to be told imports of Australian wine, lobsters, sugar, coal, copper ore and concentrate, barley and timber would no longer be allowed after Friday.
The suspension threatens to cut the value of Australian exports to China by $5-6 billion dollars annually if maintained.
