China has responded to concern its decision to impose heavy tariffs on Australian barley was retaliation for a diplomatic dispute, saying Australia had launched 100-times as many trade investigations against China.

“Since the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Australia, this case on Australian barley is the only trade remedy investigation launched by China against Australia,” Zhong told reporters in Beijing on Monday. Asked if the barley decision meant China was a risky market, Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison said on Tuesday it was “a judgement that Australian businesses can only make”.
Many investigations against China have been lodged through the Australian Anti-Dumping Commission, however.
