Australian wine, which had a large market presence in China before the Scott Morrison government soured bilateral ties with his anti-China policy, completely missed out on a surge of holiday sales for the upcoming Spring Festival holiday in China due to anti-dumping duties.
Australia on Thursday reported a trade and services surplus of A$72.7 billion ($55.47 billion) for 2020, an increase of A$5.2 billion from 2019, but its wine exports to China have declined.
