Australia’s trade minister has rejected the Chinese regime’s claims that Australian winemakers are dumping wine into the Chinese market. He also denied that the threat of tariffs on wine is part of a trade war.

China’s Ministry of Commerce will launch an investigation and is considering placing countervailing duties, or tariffs, on Australian wines.
