Event Details China has long been Australia’s largest trade partner, yet geopolitical tensions have threatened to destabilise the relationship. This panel will explore opportunities for growth in bilateral trade and cultural ties. The discussion will provide the audience with a stronger understanding of how collaboration on electrification and green economy innovations can help shape the relationship moving forward, balancing strategic competition with regional collaboration.
