Sky News host Paul Murray says it has become evident “slowly but surely we are getting the cold shoulder” from China amid calls for an independent COVID-19 inquiry.

Trade Minister Simon Birmingham on Sunday confirmed a contact freeze between the Australian government and Chinese trade officials.

Mr Murray said China is quite clearly “trying to dangle Australia as the bait” against other nations to highlight the extent of damage it can do to an economy.

Communication key to China trade | Sky News AustraliaAustralia’s trading relationship with China will continue to be “very important” as the nations look beyond the pandemic, COVID-19 Co-Ordination Commission Chair Nev Power says. \n\n“Our trading relationship with China is very important and has been developing progressively and will continue to be very important going forward,” Mr Power told Sky News. \n\n“Because we are a country dominated by large mineral, energy and food exports we are marketing to those countries that have got that market and that has been the growth in China that has driven a lot of that. So it's a very important relationship for Australia and its a very important relationship for China.”\n\nAustralia’s call for an inquiry into the origins of coronavirus, China responded with threats of trade sanctions. \n\nDespite China and Australia insisting the recent suspension of four beef abattoirs in NSW and Queensland and a plan from Beijing to slap an 80 per cent tariff on barley are not linked to the inquiry, there are concerns a trade war could be on the horizon. \n\nMr Power said maintaining close communication and contact was key to getting the relationship back on track. \n\n“I think maintaining close relations and particularly in the business sector to make sure there is a high level of understanding of what both countries are aiming to achieve and maintaining that close communication and contact,” the former Fortescue boss said. \n\n“I think a lot of issues develop if there is no communication and what we need to do is making sure we communicate constantly and those channels of communication remain open.” Kieran_Gilbert But behind the scenes we should diversity ASAP Kieran_Gilbert Don’t sell out national security.
