This Business Issues Paper arises from AustCham Beijing’s role in representation to promote Australian business and member interests. Our members are the coalface of practical interaction with China’s regulatory and market environment. They have intimate knowledge of remaining barriers and distortions impeding China’s smooth transition to a fully-fledged open market economy as per the Chinese Government’s belief in, and commitment to, WTO principles. Of course many barriers and distortions have already been removed, and the Chinese leadership deserves congratulations for driving these reforms.
The Business Issues Paper encapsulates that coalface knowledge of remaining barriers and distortions. Furthermore, it takes the next step of making practical recommendations about how these problems might be ameliorated. It is a briefing sheet based on contemporary practical experience in the business environment of China for advising both Australian and Chinese senior politicians and public servants of issues which can be addressed to achieve greater effectiveness and efficiencies in investment and trade between the two countries.
AustCham Beijing intends that the Business Issues Paper becomes a resource relied on by Australian political and public service leaders in their negotiations and advocacy with their Chinese counterparts.
