China suspends economic accord with Australia
- The China-Australia Strategic Economic Dialogue deal has been suspended "based on the current attitude".

The China-Australia Strategic Economic Dialogue deal has been suspended "based on the current attitude" of the Australian government, China's National Development and Reform Commission said in a statement, blaming some officials of "ideological discrimination."
