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

JazzJS — 2014-11-05 07:38:35 UTC

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.

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

JazzJS — 2014-11-07 02:16:04 UTC

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.
