Prime Minister Scott Morrison says he is proud of Australian farmers who have chosen their sovereignty over Chinese “coin”.
“We have to be careful about a dependence that is created,” Mr Morrison said.
“My message to Europe, and my message to Australians, is we cannot allow ourselves to be dependent like that.
“We’ve faced a lot of coercion from China – our wine has been targeted; our barley has been targeted.
“But we’ve held our ground, and we’ve stood up to it – and our barley has found other markets.
“I’ve been so proud, particularly of Australia’s primary producers who would rather their sovereignty as a country than the coin that comes with becoming over-reliant on one partner.
“I think Australian industry and primary producers have shown tremendous courage, but they’ve also been smart too.”
