Central Australian beef to leave … Countries that are satisfied with this gap are increasing

‘Is the misfortune of others my happiness?’ A growing number of countries are taking Australia’s misfortune to fight China as their luck, China’s Global Times reported, citing the Sydney Morning Herald, an Australian outlet, on the 13th.

Australia, which is the most enthusiastic participant in the US government’s “ beating of China ” of Donald Trump, has worsened relations with China in April, arguing that an independent international investigation into the origin is needed. and the spread of the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19). did.

Enraged, China began imposing restrictions on Australian beef imports in May, and in September, Australian beef exports fell 64 percent from the same period last year. So competition between countries trying to enter the Chinese market is intensifying, pointing to this same gap.

The representative country is Argentina. When the ‘China International Import Fair’ was held in Shanghai early last month, Argentina sent a whopping 58 delegates. It was to promote Argentine meat to Chinese consumers, but they did not hesitate to quarantine it for two weeks after arriving in China.

It’s not easy to get from South America to China, but that too survived two weeks of quarantine in Shanghai. Australia’s Sydney Morning Herald cited Russia, Indonesia, Korea and Brazil as representative countries in addition to Argentina, saying: “There are 60 countries with China as the largest export market.” All said they were trying to get a stake on behalf of Australia.

China also imposed an anti-dumping duty of 80.5% on Australian barley in May and, as a result, Australian barley exports to China plummeted 99% in June.

So, Russia fell in love. Russia is said to have plans to increase barley exports to China by 10 times. Barley worth $ 960 million has been exported to China in the past, but it is expected to export $ 9.6 billion in the future.

In August, when China imposed anti-dumping duties on Australian wines, the world wine market is shaking. Australian wines accounted for 37% of China’s wine imports, and wines from around the world are said to compete fiercely to replace this portion.

In October, Australian coal became a hot topic. Coal accounts for a third of Australia’s exports to China, with sales of A $ 14 billion (about 11.5138 billion won) last year. However, since the export of Australian coal to China is regulated, Canada, Indonesia and Mongolia compete for the Chinese market.

Not only that. 94% of Australia’s lobster exports go to China, and when this locks up, North American countries and Indonesia, which have been fiercely competing with Australia in the Chinese lobster market, welcome peers.

China also changed the origin of imports of agricultural products such as wheat, corn and soybeans imported from Australia, which is the United States, Australia’s democratic partner. Australia is struggling with China to keep up with the United States, and the irony is that it is the United States that benefits from it.
