China has effectively ended a ban on Australian coal after officials in the southern province of Guangdong got the go-ahead to clear Australian coal cargoes, the Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday, citing two sources.
The report comes a week after China's state planner allowed three central government-backed utilities and its top steelmaker to resume coal imports from Australia.
Beijing imposed an unofficial ban on coal trade with Canberra in 2020.
