China moves to block Aussie wine

Tuesday 18 August 2020

China’s Ministry of Commerce said on Tuesday it had begun an anti-dumping investigation into imports of wine from Australia following a call from the China Alcoholic Drinks Association on behalf of the domestic industry last month.

The anti-dumping probe will look at imports of wine from Australia in containers holding two litres or less in 2019, the ministry said in a statement on its website, adding that it would also investigate any damage done to the Chinese wine industry from 2015-19.

All the way with the USA.
