Australian beef exporters are on alert after rumours Beijing was on the verge of imposing an industry-wide ban on the importation of meat to China.
A Chinese media report on Monday warned imports of Australian meat, grain, dairy and other agricultural products had been suspended due to a threat of foot and mouth disease.
Australian officials and industry sources are assuring producers those rumours are incorrect.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese did not comment on the validity of any ban but pointed to existing sanctions on other goods like barley and wine.
The Chinese is helping Australia to stomach some of your excessive beef. So what's the issue?

Amazing how the whole world has enabled China to hold us by the throat. Time we put a tax on imported goods to make them competitive with our superior manufactured products. Come on Albo show us how you can look after Australian jobs and industries. What do you say.

Don't give anything to China, Australians are paying exorbitant prices and suffering shortages. Hasn't the Govt seen how European countries are stopping or restricting exports of food and energy because they need it for their own people. The Govt are fools.

@bernieone9286 Says:
Since your News Station has such strong dislike for the Chinese CCCP, why not move for a ban on beef exports from Australia to China. Don't sell to the Chinese! They are so evil. Don't sell them meat.
@KIA-MIA-POW Says:
The Australian beef industry placing so much reliance on the Chinese market is, quite frankly, stupid. Their lazy attitude to securing other markets is noticeable, particularly with the potential that exists in both the EU and post brexit UK.

That's a pity, thought we might get some reasonably priced meat.
