“Today’s decision is seriously concerning development and one which Australia will be vigorously fighting against.”
“The Australian Government categorically rejects any allegation that our wine producers are dumping product into China, and we continue to believe there is no basis or any evidence for these claims.”
Earlier in the Asian session, China’s Commerce Ministry announced that it will impose temporary anti-dumping measures on wine imports from Australia from November 28.
