The world’s most unpleasant nation, and the Albanese government’s best friend, has once again bared its fangs, not to mention its glass jaw.
China’s largest steel maker has accused Australian rival InfraBuild of making baseless and self-serving claims to convince the Albanese government that substantial tariffs are needed on imported construction products.
In attacking InfraBuild, state-owned China Baowu said restrictions on its products would breach World Trade Organisation rules. Not only is Baowu China’s largest steel maker, it is also one of the biggest customers for the iron ore shipped overseas by resources giants BHP and Rio Tinto.
