China has reportedly drawn up a list of more Australian industries to target after slapping tariffs on barley and banning some beef imports amid mounting tensions over calls for a coronavirus inquiry.
Wine, dairy, seafood, oatmeal and fruit exporters could be hit with new customs rules, quality checks or tariffs to make selling into China more difficult, according to a Bloomberg article which cited 'people familiar with the matter'.
Each year Australian companies export about $1billion worth of dairy, $1.3billion of wine and $658million of seafood to China, meaning further tariffs could seriously harm the economy.
Meanwhile, Chinese newspaper the Global Times, which is considered a mouthpiece for the communist government, today stoked tensions by quoting Chinese citizens who called Australia 'a giant kangaroo that serves as a dog of the US'.
In response to the jibe, Senator Kimberley Kitching said politicians on both sides would continue to stand up for Australian values.
'It's no insult to be called a kangaroo - they are tough, hard to tame, resourceful, never take a backwards step and of course are very committed to freedom,' she told Daily Mail Australia.
The Global Times article ran comments from social media users accusing Australia of pandering to the US by calling for an inquiry into the virus after President Trump investigated whether it spawned in a lab in Wuhan.

“Well how would it not hurt our seafood industry? Wow”
Seafood industry can not keep up with our domestic demand. Thus we do import from other nations and in particular, China, Indonesia, Chile, and Canada.
We should buy the Aussi fish, even if costs a little more.
One of the problems with China is that items that they produce are frequently not marked as produced in China.
Take the production of honey for example.
Immigration and FDA has refused entry of much of Chinese honey since they contain unapproved and hazardous chemicals and pesticides,
most of which come into the US in fifty-five and eighty gallon drums.
When refused at US customs, the product was returned to China, sent elsewhere in Asia, where it was relabeled
as being a product of India, Malaysia, or Viet Nam.
In fact, this purposely mislabeling of honey is the norm, and does not represent the country of origin.
Expect the same type of Chinese behavior with other products which do not list the country of origin,
but list only the country of the product distributor.

“Sell your seafood to US. (As long as it doesn’t hurt OUR seafood industry). I refuse to buy that Chinese crap!”

We have been importing OVER 90% of our seafood. Much of that from China. Insist on American caught fish and shrimp. Yep, its going to cost more but your not going to be eating crap either.

“Seafood industry can not keep up with our domestic demand.”
Just like the so called free trade deals like NAFTA were designed to gut the American industrial base and move our manufacturing capacity to foreign countries our fishery regulations since the early 90’s have done the same thing to the fisheries. The enviro orgs lied to the public about the oceans being fished out to get them on board and pressure congress to do more to shut down American fishermen. In some instances data was falsified to create fake fishery collapse in order to shut down entire regions.
American fishermen got shafted by our own government to advance the NWO.
That cheap frozen shrimp for sale in the grocery was raised in Indonesian ditch water.
Thanks! I’ve seen that before, and it makes for an interesting read. One thing the Chinese government does very well is presenting a facade, but then acting in a opposite manner for the betterment of itself; which doesn’t necessarily include their own people. For the Chinese, it is all about control.
