Australia China Business Council Foreword Rt. As we move into the new century, the Australia - China economic relationship has a bright future .
China is one of our top five trading partners, while investment links have continued to expand .
Such an important economic relationship requires energy and commitment . A bright future is impossible without the right kind of hard work and imagination . As members of the Australia China Business Council well know, China can be a demanding market . As China continues to open up to the outside world, both the demands and the opportunities will increase . Globalisation will drive this process and we need to be ready to seize every opportunity .
