New South Wales was the first state to initiate ‘Sister State’ links, partnering Guangdong in 1979. The commercial side of this relationship has flourished ever since. With Australia’s largest number of people with Chinese background, New South Wales is a driving force in the growing links being forged between Australia and China.
