2019年中澳贸易：高增长与不确定性并存

Abstract:According to the relevant provisions of the China-Australia Free Trade Agreement，the fifth round of tariff concessions rolled out on January 1，2019. There are 7537 tariff categories of goods exported from Australia to China that have achieved zero tariffs or substantial reductions in tariffs. China’s exports to Australia all achieve zero tariffs. The tariff concession has taken a key step towards zero tariffs between China and Australia，and has also become an important driving force for China-Australia trade growth in 2019. In 2019，China-Australia trade volume increased by 10.9% to reach 158.97 billion US dollars，Australia’s trade surplus with China was 48.83 billion US dollars，and the trade imbalance further intensified. While China-Australia trade continued to climb，China conducted an anti-dumping and anti-subsidy investigation of Australian barley for one and a half years，and finally ruled to increase Australian barley import tariffs to 80.5%. China’s supply-side reforms have begun to have an impact on some Australian exports to China. In the future，China-Australia trade will also face negative impacts from trade frictions and lack of political mutual trust between the two sides. China and Australia should take care of each other’s concerns，increase political mutual trust，and promote a virtuous circle of bilateral trade and diplomatic relations.
