Australia has elevated its dispute with China at the World Trade Organization (WTO), calling for a panel to be established to address Beijing’s punitive tariffs on Australian barley exports.

One expert, however, says obtaining a resolution from the WTO could be challenging, given the body has been paralysed since the Trump administration refused to appoint new members to its dispute resolution body in 2019.
