The tension between China and Australia shows no signs of easing. Australian Trade Minister Dan Tehan (Dan Tehan) said that he has recently sent a letter to China seeking China to lift its import ban on Australian coal. Gao Feng, the spokesperson of the Chinese Ministry of Commerce, responded that China’s position on the development of China-Australia economic and trade relations is consistent, and it is hoped that Australia can do more to facilitate mutual trust and cooperation between China and Australia, and push bilateral relations back on track as soon as possible.
Gao Feng pointed out that the current difficult situation in China-Australia relations is not what China wants to see. He emphasized that a healthy and stable China-Australia relationship is in the common interests of both countries, and he hopes that Australia will do more to facilitate mutual trust and cooperation between China and Australia.
Dan Tehan revealed on an earlier occasion that he had recently written to Wang Wentao, the Minister of Commerce of China who had just taken office, hoping that his new role would create opportunities for breaking the current deadlock. However, he did not disclose whether the letter directly requested Wang Wentao to stop the blockade of Australian goods, but merely indicated that this is a detailed letter, indicating Australia’s strong willingness to engage with China on many issues.

Since China-Australia relations fell to the bottom last year, at least 13 Australian industry products have been hit by Chinese tariffs or other restrictive measures. Australian Prime Minister Morrison also actively sought to restart dialogue with China at the beginning of this week, but reiterated that China cannot attach any preconditions or endanger Australia’s national sovereign interests.

Morrison said that although China’s prospects are increasingly inconsistent with Australia’s sovereign interests, he is willing to hold a meeting at any time. In recent months, China has initiated a series of trade bans against Australia and issued a list of complaints regarding China-Australia relations.
But Morgan Stanley quoted the latest report from Shanghai Nonferrous Metals (SMM) that the Chinese government is in the early stages of lifting the informal ban on Australian coal imports, but the move requires high-level approval, and no official comment has been received so far.
