Australia Eyes Sanctions On Red China Amid Trade Friction

Australia plans economic sanctions on Red China to curb imports and limit trade in aviation materials and key goods. The move, announced by Prime Minister Mengies in Canberra, parallels a British government statement in London, with measures described as limited but intended to signal action without full warlike impact. Trade figures show Australian exports including beef, leather, and primary produce rising in late 1950s, while overall lines shift toward formosa and other partners. The report notes cooperation with British and American governments but hints at broader strategic pressures shaping policy.
