(Adelaide / Beijing Comprehensive News) China has banned Australian coal imports for more than two years, and the relevant ban has been terminated.
The Wall Street Journal quoted the two familiar situations that the official officials of Guangdong Provincial Customs received a notice from the local government on Thursday (January 12) that the local government could settle the customs clearance of coal cargo in Australia.
About a week ago, the China National Development and Reform Commission allowed a group of large state -owned enterprises to purchase Australian coal again.
But the report believes that the relaxation of this ban is unlikely to drive Australia's rapid recovery of China coal trade.In order to alleviate the impact of the ban and reduce import demand, China has increased domestic coal output.
Since Russia's invasion of Ukraine has changed, the price of coal supply has changed, and the price of Australian coal has soared, which may lead to China's demand for Australian coal at a low level.
At the same time, some Australian mining companies have become cautious about China and no longer think that China is a reliable trading partner.
Australia publicly called for investigations on the source of the crown disease in 2020, which led to privately prohibit the import of Australia coal in private.
However, according to Bloomberg, the Chinese ambassador to Australia, Xiao Qian, said on Tuesday (10th) that Chinese officials have never imposed embargo sanctions on Australian coal, and stated that Chinese companies will decide on their own to resume coal imports from Australia.
According to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, as China has relaxed the restrictions on epidemic prevention, Chinese airlines are increasing flights to Australia, including Air China, including Sydney flights that will be resolved from February 3 on February 3.
China -Australia relations have gradually improved recently.In November last year, Chinese officials met with Australian Prime Minister Albanis in Bali, Indonesia; then in December, Australian Foreign Minister Huang Yingxian visited China. This is also the first Australian Foreign Minister in China for several years.
