“I discussed obviously the situation in terms of Irish beef exports into China, the tariff situation in respect of dairy products”

Yeah, Xi Jinping increased prices for dairy products for Chinese people by introducing tariffs, very much as Trump did in the US for other goods. It’s time that Ireland and other EU farmers diversify its trade imo.

And what did they say about forced labour and the China’s genocide in East Turkistan, Tibet? Beiijng’s aggression against Taiwan? Was that an issue?
