• China is Australia’s largest trading partner, with more than one-third of Australian exports destined for China.

• Australia and China benefit from free trade, a stability advantage that cannot be taken for granted in today’s global landscape.

• Australia runs a significant annual current-account surplus with China (approx. US$65 billion).

• Both nations have a strategic interest in nurturing and future-proofing this relationship.
