Australia’s Second China Challenge
Cook, Malcolm | April 2018
Abstract
Economically, Australia has benefitted significantly from China’s post-Cold War rise. Australian trade statistics underline how deep this commercial relationship has become. In 2016-17, China accounted for over a quarter of total Australian merchandise trade, close to a third of total merchandise exports, and over four-fifths of Australian exports of iron ore. In fact, Australia’s trade with China was more than one and a half times larger than Australia’s trade with the US and Japan combined.

Over the past five years, through successive budget cuts, a hasty merger of AusAID into DFAT, and a consequent attrition of development professionals, the aid program has been left under considerable strain.

Reckoning total COVID-19 fatalities compared to ...After infecting more than 23 000 Australians and killing over 420, the coronavirus pandemic in Australia is fading sooner and with less economic damage than expected.
