# data[].attributes.body
China and Australia have maintained close ties and reached agreements in trade and energy. China remains Australia’s third-largest trading partner and is the second-largest export market. Since the two economies are extremely compatible, both countries achieved a 30% growth in trade since 2006. Australia gets benefited more because of the low cost manufacturing. Australia exports vegetables to China because of the large population in China.

Recommendations to the Australian Government on how to ensure a mutually beneficial relationship between Australia and China

Recommendations to the Australian Government on how to ensure a mutually beneficial relationship between Australia and China           

# data[].attributes.body
To ensure Australia and China have a beneficial relationship, the Australian Government could make up some rules/guidelines to  make sure Australia and China are both benefited. For example: Each month Australia and China could trade with each other valuable items that are not provided in the other country, so that one country isn't getting a rip-off - vegetables and beef are exported from Australia to China because China doesn't have enough land to grow vegetables because of the population and China exports technology (such as computers and phones) because Australia does not have the knowledge to built these things. The Australian Government could also educate children in Australia and China about discrimination/racism to prevent any negative effects on each other.

How Cultural Influences  has influenced or changed people and places in Australia and China.

# data[].attributes.body
Restaurants and food places have been influenced by China very much because Chinese foods and restaurants have been placed throughout Australia. This makes us a very multicultural country and encourages Chinese people to migrate to Australia. Another great reason why Australia has adopted China's healthy food is that we are now eating healthy and are focusing on getting all of that fat out of out diet. Over the last few years Australia has become a great country for Chinese residents. e.g. Sunny Bank has been built for Chinese people to hang out, China Doll is a restaurant in Sydney and Goodwood is a church.

According to the Chinese zodiac, this year, 2013, is the Year of the Snake.

Very fitting, I think, for us here in Australia.

I did a little research about "The Snake" and found out that ancient Chinese wisdom suggests having a snake in the house is a good sign. I was pretty pleased to discover this, having had a snake in MY house!

Maybe I shouldn't have shown him (or her, I wasn't sure) the door?

Any of you who have read my post Australia: A Nation of Immigrants will know that China comes third in a table showing where people who have moved to Australia were originally born. Here are some numbers.

From the 2011 Census:

Australia's population - just over 20 million

Total number overseas born - just under 5.3 million

Total of Australian population originally born abroad - 26%

The Chinese-born population of Australia is 319,000 or about 1.5%

Only the UK at 5.5% and New Zealand with around 2.5% have had more migrants arrive in Australia.

Chinatown

There are "Chinatowns" all over the world, Wikipedia, of course, has a list. It says that in Australia there is a Chinatown in Adelaide, Melbourne, Perth, Sydney and here in Brisbane. It tells us the Brisbane Chinatown is in Fortitude Valley, and it is.

But we also appear to have one in Sunnybank; I went there on Sunday to check out their Year of the Snake Carnival. It wasn't the greatest show on earth...

... but it was a good community event, which is something of an Australian speciality, with people enjoying themselves and having fun. There was a small market...

In Sunnybank, my guess is the Chinese population is a tad higher than the 1.5% national average...

One of the things that fascinated me though, was the community noticeboard. I've seen these in other suburbs before; they are just a piece of wall space where people can stick up a notice to sell something.

It could be a car, furniture, maybe a room to let or even a service. The noticeboard I saw in Sunnybank was bigger and more crowded than most that I've seen...

But frankly, half of it was just Double Dutch to me...

Well, maybe not Dutch.

But if you want a good Chinese meal, it's the place to go.

Yes, that's right, 43 restaurants crammed into this one shopping area.

Me, I had a kebab.
