Not Backing Down

There is more than 1 trade war happening with Australia joining in after Prime Minister Scott Morisson asked for an inquiry into the origins of Covid-19. This has led to China retaliating by raising tariffs on barley and blocking imports of beef.

Michael Shoebridge, Director of Defence, Strategy and National Security at the Australian Strategy Policy Institute weighs in on this.
