Australia - China Relations

The Institute for International Trade (IIT) in partnership with the Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ACCI), invite you to join leading experts for an interactive webinar on the Australia-China Trade Relations.

China-Australia diplomatic relations are at their lowest point in decades.  This is reflected in trade relations that have become increasingly strained by Beijing's coercive tactics, designed to influence Australian policy making and political actions.  Acknowledging that there is little chance of returning to the positive bilateral relationship of just five years ago, this webinar explores possible pragmatic diplomatic approaches for using trade to support a revival of mutually beneficial economic relations with China.  This need not be at the cost of security and strategic interests and could, in fact, enhance them.  Please join us as we discuss this critical topic.

Time: 3.30pm to 4.30pm (Adelaide Time) | 4.00pm – 5.00pm (Sydney Time)
