SYDNEY, Dec 3, 2024 (BSS/AFP) - China has lifted remaining trade "suspensions" targeting Australian red meat, Canberra said Tuesday, dismantling one of the last barriers in a costly trade dispute.

"We are close to the point where China's trade impediments -- which impacted Aus$20 billion (US$13 billion) worth of Australian exports -- have all been removed," trade minister Don Farrell said.
