Australia accuses China of undermining trade agreement

Australia has accused China of undermining their free trade agreement over a series of actions by Beijing against Australian export goods.

Trade minister, Simon Birmingham said china had targeted a dozen Australian goods amid tensions between the countries.

China has imposed sanctions on Australian goods such as grain, wine and beef this year.

This has caused alarm in Australia, as china is its biggest trading partner.

China buys more than a third of Australia’s exports, and accounts for 27 percent of two-way trade.

Beijing has accused Australia of unfriendly and hostile attitudes towards China, amid a deteriorating political row.
