Abstract
More than two years have passed since the People’s Republic of China (PRC) began imposing a broad range
of restrictions on Australian trade in what is widely regarded to be a campaign of economic coercion. Despite
the apparent sanctions affecting numerous Australian export industries with high exposure to the mainland
market, there is now a broad consensus that Beijing’s efforts have been unsuccessful. [1] The measures had
a negligible impact on the Australian macroeconomy and did not drive Canberra to make any policy
concessions to address Beijing’s long list of ostensible grievances (Australian Department of Treasury,
September 6, 2021).
