[Australian Minister warns EU on Trade negotiations: Australia-China Relations are thawing We are now "not short of Dance partners"] according to a report by the Financial Times on the 7th, Australian Trade Minister Farrell (Chinese name Tang Fangrui) warned the European Union that Australia will not sign a trade agreement unless the EU opens its market to more Australian agricultural products. He also welcomed the relaxation of Australia-China relations. "We are not short of partners and the Europeans have to make a decision." Tang Fangrui also mentioned that Australia-China relations have warmed up during the administration of the Australian Labor Party government. Last year, bilateral trade reached a record A $300 billion. The report went on to say that this week, China lifted the import ban on some Australian goods, and Tang Fangrui said he was still working on the resumption of Australian lobster exports to China.
