The Australian government has delivered a scathing assessment of China’s position within the global trading sector

In a statement provided to the World Trade Organisation, the Morrison government calls out Beijing for trade coercion on exports that previously totalled 20 billion a year.

The government says “WTO rules do not permit a member – however large – to impose conditions such as these on trade with another member”.

The statement forms part of a regular review process conducted by the Trade Organisation into trade practices of member nations.

It has been published on Twitter by Australia’s trade ambassador and retweeted by Finance Minister Simon Birmingham.

This follows Australia pushing to internationalise its push back against Beijing’s use of its market power to punish trade partners for alleged misbehaviour.

The statement says “China’s actions go beyond their impact on Australian exporters – they raise the risk and uncertainty of the China market for the global business community”.

Israel and Hamas agree to release hostages in U.S.-brokered deal, marking a potential turning point in Gaza conflict.

In a major diplomatic breakthrough, Israel and Hamas have agreed to release all remaining Israeli hostages under a U.S.-brokered framework. The deal pairs prisoner exchanges with an Israeli troop pullback and expanded aid access, marking a potential turning point in the two-year Gaza conflict.

The agreement, set for approval by Israel’s cabinet, could pave the way for lasting peace if both sides uphold the terms. It follows weeks of negotiations led by U.S. envoys and regional mediators in Egypt, Qatar, and Türkiye.

As international agencies prepare to facilitate aid and logistics, the world watches to see whether this fragile deal can hold and bring relief to millions affected by the war.
