Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to Address Steel Dumping Concerns in Shanghai

Shanghai, China – Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is set to meet with Australian iron ore producers and Chinese steelmakers today in Shanghai, where he will raise critical concerns regarding the issue of steel dumping by China. This roundtable event comes amid heightened tensions surrounding Australia’s potential involvement in a future conflict with China, particularly regarding Taiwan.
