There are concerns the China row could spill over into other key sectors of the Australian economy just as its leaders navigate the COVID-19 crisis. SYDNEY: China suspended imports from four major Australian beef suppliers on Tuesday , just weeks after Beijing's ambassador warned of a consumer boycott in retaliation for Canberra's push to probe the origins of the coronavirus.
China has also flagged major tariffs on Australian barley over allegations it is selling the grain in China for less than it costs to produce it - known as dumping. The Australian Financial Review cited confidential documents as saying Beijing is considering duties of 73.6 per cent. "If the mood is going from bad to worse, people would think 'why should we go to such a country that is not so friendly to China?' The tourists may have second thoughts."He added:"It is up to the people to decide. Maybe the ordinary people will say 'Why should we drink Australian wine? Eat Australian beef?'"
"It's in no way related, in no way related, to the export arrangements for Australian beef or for Australian barley or for anything else," he said.
