Australia Blames China for Acting Against “Letter and Spirit” of Trade Deal

Australia Blames China for Acting Against "Letter and Spirit" of Trade Deal

Australia has accused China of going against the “letter and spirit” of the China-Australia Free Trade Agreement (ChAfta), a deal the two countries agreed to review at least after five years, according to SCMP. Neither Beijing nor Canberra has expressed willingness to further review the bilateral free-trade agreement signed five years ago, given the ongoing trade dispute.

  • The absence of a review would not hurt the effectiveness of the free-trade deal, but Australia and China would waste an opportunity to talk about their trade disputes. 
  • ChAfta, signed on strong goodwill between the two countries, was meant for review seeking to deepen trade liberalization further and expand market access.
  • “The targeted nature of Chinese government measures on Australian goods raises concerns about China’s adherence to the letter and spirit of its ChAfta and WTO obligations” – Simon Birmingham, Australian trade minister. 
  • Chinese trade officials are seen as unlikely to reassess the bilateral free-trade agreement with Australia this month. 
  • Australia has not contacted China to conduct the review, and there are no further plans for the next step.
  • Earlier in the year, the Australian called for submissions from local industries in preparation for a ChAfta review by December.
  • Terminations of the free trade deal ahead of review is unlikely despite tensions. 
  • The treaty allows one party to cancel it, through notice to the other side, without needing to wait for the scheduled review period.
  • The landmark free-trade agreement took 10 years to complete and led to zero tariffs on many goods, giving rise to last year’s two-way trade relationship worth US$159 billion.
