Australia has expressed its wish to join in a formal complaint launched by the European Union (EU) against the Chinese communist regime over its use of coercive trade tactics directed at nations it disagrees with.

The EU filed the complaint to the World Trade Organization (WTO) on Jan. 27 as a result of Beijing’s unofficial economic embargo of Lithuania after the European nation allowed Taiwan to open a de facto embassy under the name “Taiwan” rather than “Chinese Taipei.”
