SOUTH AUSTRALIA’S WINE INDUSTRY WILL BE HIT ...

China’s anti-dumping investigation into Australian wine exports will provide a substantial impact on South Australia’s export performance and more importantly our world class wine industry. South Australian wine exports to China make up around 30% of SA’s exports to China, and just under 10% of SA’s global exports. This threat of an anti-dumping finding against the Australian wine industry has vastly more impact on the South Australian economy than the previously announced restrictions on barley and beef.

HAVE WE FORGOTTEN ABOUT THE OTHER GREAT ASIAN MARKET?

When was the last time you heard a business leader suggest that they were going to target Asia, and Japan would be the key market of entry? It would probably be a while. Australian companies still do business with Japan, but new business is not growing as fast as it probably should be, and perhaps that is down to the besotted nature that Australia and the various federal, state and local governments have had with China. Its hard for Japan not to be swamped and overlooked in favour of its bigger East Asian neighbour. But is this a fair comparison?

RISKS, THREATS, AND CHALLENGES IN CHINA

China has attracts a large amount of attention, and is perceived by many in government, business and the broader society as synonymous with Asia. The Asian Century that we often hear discussed, could very well be replaced with the “Chinese Century” in the eyes of many business and government leaders. But how much of this sentiment is based in reality? Can we distil the Asian Century into a story about China?
