US House Rep.

Ted Yoho was among a worldwide group of politicians asking people to raise a glass of Australian wine to stand against China.

That's a fine Australian wine.

The group is a global alliance of legislators from 19 countries across party lines.

It follows months off deteriorating relations between Australia and China after Australia called for an international inquiry into the origins of the coronavirus.

Since then, China has suspended imports are not just wine from Australia but also coal, Bali, even lobster.

Just last week, China said it will slap down temporary tariffs of up to 200% on wine imported from Australia.

They say they found evidence off dumping that Australia lowers the price of its wine to get into the Chinese market.

Australia calls the move unjustified, and wine cellars have told Reuters the opposite is true that their margins are higher in China.

The Inter Parliamentary Alliance on China, who made the video includes lawmakers from the European Parliament to Uganda and Japan and argues Beijing's rising influence is a threat to democratic values.
