In a significant development, China has emerged victorious in a nearly three-year-long dispute with Australia at the World Trade Organization (WTO) concerning tariffs on steel products. The dispute, which originated during a period of strained bilateral relations between the two countries, has concluded with the WTO ruling in favor of China. The dispute stemmed from Australia’s imposition of additional duties on certain steel products imported from China, including railway wheels, wind towers, and stainless steel sinks. China lodged its complaint with the WTO in June 2021, contesting Australia’s actions.
