The Australia China Business Council and Asialink Businessare delighted to invite you to join us for the State of the Nation: China.
With the landmark China-Australia free trade agreement (the ChAFTA) set to enter into force by early 2016, Australian business has a unique window of opportunity to take advantage of falling barriers and an unprecedented access to new markets and capital. China is already Australia's biggest trading partner. As its economy transitions to consumption-led growth, Australian business is well positioned to benefit from China's surging middle classes and ambitious foreign economic and infrastructure policies, such as the 'one-belt, one-road' initiative. What opportunities does the ChAFTA unlock for Australia and what does business need to do to ensure it capitalises on this once in a lifetime opportunity, before our competitors move in?
Panellists include:
Mr Andrew Whitford, General Manager and Head of Greater China, Westpac Banking Corporation
Ms Jean Dong, Founder and Managing Director, Spark Corporation
Dr Sow Keat Tok, Chinese Studies, Asia Institute, University of Melbourne
Moderated by Mr Peter Cai, China Editor, Business Spectator
